codebugs: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

codebugs CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from faxik/codebugs. It costs 10,467 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Codebugs, a code-finding and requirements tracker backed by SQLite and exposed through an MCP server and command-line tool. SQLite is a file-based database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing Codebugs, following its branch and worktree rules, installing its hooks, or preparing and merging changes.
Why use it?
They define the project's enforced workflow so code changes happen on branches and in separate worktrees instead of directly on the main branch.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is faxik/codebugs's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on codebugs 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 codebugs 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

codebugs 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 1mo 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.

Codebugs

AI-native code finding & requirements tracker. SQLite-backed, exposed via MCP server + CLI.

Workflow — main is never edited directly

Every code edit happens on a short-lived branch, in a worktree, and tools/ enforces it. Borrowed from ../autosorter (2026-08-16), including a scaled-down port of its tools/worktree-*.sh harness.

What is now mechanically enforced (tools/install-hooks.sh arms it; run once per clone):

Rule Mechanism Refuses with
Branch carries fix/|feature/|refactor/|docs/ _guard_branch_type (7) + pre-commit hook (1) exit 7 / 1
Nothing but .claude/plans/*.md or .claude/plans/briefs/*.html is committed on main pre-commit hook exit 1
A plan note committed on main is NAMED in the commit message commit-msg hook exit 1
A cascade id added to .claude/plans/CASCADE-IDS.md on main is the one tools/cascade-mint.sh would have computed (max+1 per family, annulled lines and mentions included) pre-commit hook exit 1
A merge onto main comes from a typed local branch (EVERY local ref at that head must qualify, not just one), or from main's own upstream main pre-merge-commit hook (clean merge) + pre-commit hook (conflicted merge) exit 1
An in-progress cherry-pick/revert marker no longer exempts a commit pre-commit hook exit 1
Integration never fast-forwards --no-ff + git config merge.ff false —
One integration at a time flock on .worktrees/.integrate.lock exit 1
The tested state still matched at the moment it was re-checked in-lock SHA re-check exit 13
The suite ran under the interpreter main has _guard_interpreter_matches_main exit 14
This clone is actually armed _guard_enforcement_armed exit 12
Main has main checked out, and is clean _guard_workspace_on_main, _guard_main_clean exit 8, 11
The branch actually carries a change _guard_nonempty_diff exit 9
No conflict markers, no scratch or temp file at root, no stale base _guard_conflict_markers, _guard_untracked_scratch_at_root, _guard_stale_base exit 5, 4, 6

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.
