specrails-core: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

specrails-core CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from fjpulidop/specrails-core. It costs 783 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project installer that adds a specification-led development workflow to a repository. It sets up AI roles for planning, coding, and reviewing, along with commands and coding rules adapted to the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize or update the workflow, configure project conventions, create OpenSpec-based change documents, and extend the standard agent roles with custom ones.
Why use it?
It gives agents a shared process and project-specific guidance, reducing guesswork when turning planned changes into reviewed code.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex; mentions Gemini CLI.

This is fjpulidop/specrails-core's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on specrails-core 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 specrails-core 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

specrails-core 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 4d 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.

specrails-core

Agent workflow engine for specrails-desktop: a deterministic installer that renders the specrails workflow for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Kimi Code, plus the programmatic agent runtime that executes implementations. Desktop is the only host; there is no standalone product surface.

Stack

Layer Tech
CLI + installer TypeScript (ESM, strict), Node ≥ 20.19.0, macOS/Linux/Windows
Runtime @langchain/langgraph state graph, provider CLI executors, OpenAI-compatible chat loop
Specs OpenSpec (pinned in pinned-versions.json)
Tests vitest (OS × Node CI matrix)

Layout

bin/specrails-core.mjs        npm bin shim → dist/installer/cli.js
src/installer/
  cli.ts                      single dispatcher: init, install-framework, swap-current, assemble, pipeline, rules, runtime
  commands/                   init + offline framework lifecycle
  phases/                     prereqs, provider detection, scaffold (provider rendering), manifest, install-config
  util/                       fs, exec, git, registry, install transaction, logger
src/pipeline/pipeline-state.ts  pipeline journal, gates and verification receipts; Node built-ins only because it is copied into projects as .specrails/runtime/pipeline-state.mjs
src/agent-runtime/            runtime: workflow engine, graph nodes/roles, executors, compact loop, recovery, CLI, project rules inventory (.specrails/rules.json)
src/shared/                   helpers shared by the CLIs (argument parsing, Specrails home, secret redaction)
templates/                    implement/retry commands, provider settings, Kimi runner (roles are runtime-defined, never templated)
integration-contract.json     Desktop ⇄ Core contract (schemaVersion 5.9)

Commands

npm ci
npm run build          # src/ → dist/
npm test               # build + typecheck + vitest
npm run ci             # typecheck, script tests, coverage, package check

Conventions

  • Dependency direction is shared ← pipeline ← agent-runtime ← installer, enforced by src/architecture.test.ts. The installer loads the runtime lazily for the runtime command only.
  • The agent session runtime (src/agent-runtime/session/) is layered domain ← application ← drivers | journal | host ← index.ts ← cli.ts; provider vocabulary stays in its driver folder. See docs/agent-sessions/architecture.md.
  • Conventional commits (feat:, fix:, docs:, chore:); kebab-case files; tests next to their subject as *.test.ts.
  • Spawn processes through src/installer/util/exec.ts or src/agent-runtime/cli-process.ts (Windows quoting and tree-kill); never assume POSIX paths.
  • templates/commands/specrails/*.md are the single source for every provider's workflow entry points.
  • Any change to the files Desktop reads (integration-contract.json, CLI flags, .specrails/runtime/*, runtime status JSON) needs a paired Desktop change.

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.
