sift-apple-mail-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

sift-apple-mail-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from fledgeling-co/sift-apple-mail-mcp. It costs 5,901 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Repository-specific instructions for working on the sift-apple-mail-mcp codebase. They describe which project guidance files to read, which rules apply or do not apply, and what self-review is required before reporting code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying this repository, especially before writing code and before reporting completed changes.
Why use it?
They prevent developers from applying unsuitable defaults and make important project rules visible before code is written. They also require checking the final changes against the repository’s coding practices.

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

This is fledgeling-co/sift-apple-mail-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on sift-apple-mail-mcp 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 sift-apple-mail-mcp 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 C, and why

sift-apple-mail-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Operating rules, load before writing code

Two operating specs govern all code in this repo. Read them before generating code and apply them as you write, because they're the rules the code-review skill blocks on:

  • docs/CODING_PRACTICES.md (cited as CP §n), TypeScript boundary safety, security, and cross-cutting logic-bug patterns. Before reporting any change done, run the CP §7 agent self-review over your diff and say which files you covered.
  • docs/NEW_PROJECT_BEST_PRACTICES.md (cited as BP §n), stack defaults and day-one decisions. Most of it doesn't apply here; see "Divergences" below before taking one of its defaults.

CP overrides for this repo, which CP §3's own precedence rule licenses (CLAUDE.md wins over CP). Naming them by section, both directions:

  • Doesn't apply here: CP §2 (NestJS), CP §3 (Next.js and React 19), CP §6.1 to §6.9 (auth boundaries, cookies, Mongoose, uploads, HTML email, CSP, operational guardrails for a web app), §6.11 to §6.13 (Redis, Vercel cron, React Query), §6.15 (client React and React Native). There's no HTTP surface, no browser, no users to authenticate.
  • Still binds, in full: CP §1 (TypeScript boundary safety), CP §4's injection rules (parameterise every SQL query), dependency hygiene, logging and secret-handling rules, CP §5 (style, diff scope, don't weaken tests), and CP §6.14 (logic-bug patterns). CP §6.10 (cross-service contracts) now binds: the daemon and the proxy talk over a Unix socket, so a changed wire field has to move on both sides in one change.
  • CP §7's verification line reads npm run gate here. It says to run tsc --noEmit and the lint gate; this repo's typecheck is tsgo --noEmit and its lint gate is oxlint plus a control-character check (see Divergences).

Behaviour under ambiguity:

  • Think before acting. State assumptions explicitly. If there are two readings, present both; don't pick silently.
  • Simplicity first. Minimum change that solves the problem. No speculative abstractions.
  • Surgical changes. Don't improve adjacent code. Every changed line traces to the request.
  • Goal-driven execution. Turn the task into verifiable success criteria first, then loop until they're met.

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.

sift-apple-mail-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository fledgeling-co/sift-apple-mail-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,901 tokens to every session, about $0.0295 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
