LeanKG: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

LeanKG CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from FreePeak/LeanKG. It costs 410 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project guide for LeanKG, a tool that indexes source code, maps dependencies, and shows which files may be affected by a change. It also explains how to build, test, and run LeanKG's MCP server, a way for AI tools to use it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to index a codebase, calculate the impact of changing a file, run the service, and follow the documented development workflow.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project context and commands needed to understand code changes and check their impact.

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

LeanKG 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.

What it actually says

LeanKG — AI Agent Context

The implementation is 100% Go at the repository root (module github.com/FreePeak/LeanKG). The Rust tree is gone; any command mentioning cargo, src/, target/, or CozoDB is historical and will not work. AGENTS.md is the single source of truth for layout, workflow and the CLI reference — read it first.

Commands that exist

make go-build        # CGO_ENABLED=0 binaries into bin/ (leankg, leankg-embed)
make go-test         # go test ./... -count=1
make go-vet          # go vet ./...
make go-build-tstree # the tree-sitter tier (-tags tstree, needs CGO)
make go-ui-assets    # build ui-v2 and sync it into internal/web/embed
make dual-engine     # sqlite + live-PostgreSQL acceptance gate

Facts worth knowing before you edit

  • Version source of truth: cmd/leankg/VERSION (go:embed, overridable with -X main.version=). internal/mcp/server.go carries a second copy pinned by a drift test. .github/workflows/release.yml cuts the tag and publishes the four binaries in one run.
  • The MCP surface is exactly three tools — import, query, status — with the action vocabulary resolved in internal/core.
  • Storage goes through the store.Backend interface (SQLite default, PostgreSQL+pgvector opt-in). Consumers take store.Backend, never a concrete store.
  • .gitignore gotcha: internal/tstree/** holds vendored generated C grammars and proto/ is invisible to a global ignore pattern — check git status --ignored before concluding a file is committed.
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.
