mectrics: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mectrics CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from farukkamcici/mectrics. It costs 515 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for agents working on the Mectrics macOS app, including its coding conventions, build process, localization rules, and files that must not be committed. It is an additional guide to the repository’s main AGENTS.md file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing, building, testing, or adding files to the Mectrics project. It covers XcodeGen usage, localized strings, memory and telemetry constraints, and commit rules.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project-specific rules needed to make safe, consistent changes. It reduces mistakes such as hardcoding translated text, changing generated files, or breaking the menu bar layout.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is farukkamcici/mectrics's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mectrics itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mectrics configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mectrics CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

Guidance for Claude Code (and other agents) working in this repository.

Read AGENTS.md first — it is the source of truth for all conventions. This file only adds Claude-specific notes.

Absolute must-knows (see AGENTS.md for detail)

  • English-only repo. Code, comments, docs, commit messages, and base UI strings are all in English. The user may chat in Turkish; that never changes what lands in the repo.
  • i18n: user-facing strings via String(localized:) / Text → String Catalog (Mectrics/Resources/Localizable.xcstrings). Never hardcode user-facing prose.
  • Menu bar width must be stable — fixed reserved widths, right-aligned text (MetricStatusItem). Never let item width depend on the current value.
  • Zero telemetry, adaptive sampling, keep it lightweight (< 60 MB RAM).
  • project.yml is the source; run xcodegen generate after adding files or editing it. Never commit Mectrics.xcodeproj/, DerivedData/, .build/.
  • Never add Claude (or any AI agent) as a commit contributor. No Co-Authored-By: trailers, no "Generated with" lines, no AI attribution of any kind. Commits are authored solely by the human. (See AGENTS.md §8.)

Fast local loop (no Xcode UI)

cd Packages/MetricsKit && swift test && swift run metricskit-demo

Build & run the app

xcodegen generate
xcodebuild -project Mectrics.xcodeproj -scheme Mectrics -configuration Debug build
open ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Mectrics-*/Build/Products/Debug/Mectrics.app

Notes

  • This is a menu bar agent (LSUIElement), so there is no Dock icon or window — verify via the menu bar and the popover, or via metricskit-demo for the raw metrics.
  • Screenshotting the desktop menu bar requires Screen Recording permission granted to the host app; otherwise screencapture fails with "could not create image from display".
  • When the user sets a new rule, record it in AGENTS.md (source of truth).
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
