dev-workflows: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

dev-workflows CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from gpolanco/dev-workflows. It costs 602 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for working on the dev-workflows project, including its development process, technology choices, architecture, commands, and specifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when implementing features, running tests or builds, and working with the project's command-line tool and rule files.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project context it needs before making changes, reducing the chance of breaking established patterns.

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

This is gpolanco/dev-workflows's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dev-workflows 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 dev-workflows 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

dev-workflows 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dev Workflows

CLI tool that compiles developer rules into editor-specific config files (CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, GEMINI.md).

Stack

  • Monorepo with pnpm workspaces
  • CLI in packages/cli/ (TypeScript, commander)
  • Rules in content/rules/ (Markdown with YAML frontmatter, hosted on GitHub)
  • Tests with node:test

Architecture

  • content/rules/ → official rule files (Markdown), fetched from GitHub via devw add
  • content/blocks/ → local prebuilt blocks installed via devw add <block-id>
  • packages/cli/src/bridges/ → per-tool adapters that translate rules → native format
  • Bridges only translate. They do not add new intent or logic.

Key commands

pnpm install                    # install deps
pnpm build                      # build CLI
pnpm test                       # run tests
pnpm dev                        # dev mode
devw add                        # interactive: browse and install rules from registry
devw add typescript/strict      # direct: install specific rule
devw add --list                 # list available rules

Specs (read before implementing)

  • openspec/specs/cli/spec.md → CLI spec (commands, bridges, UI, registry) — current state
  • openspec/specs/decisions/spec.md → accepted decisions (source of truth if conflict)
  • openspec/specs/docs/spec.md → Mintlify documentation site spec
  • openspec/specs/theme/spec.md → design system for the landing page
  • openspec/changes/pull-command/tasks.md → feat/pull-command branch state (pending merge)
  • openspec/ is gitignored — internal specs not published

If a decision is not in the specs, do not implement it. Propose a documentation change first.

Git workflow (BLOCKING — do this BEFORE writing any code)

  1. NEVER commit directly to main. Always create a feature branch first.
  2. Branch naming: feat/<slug>, fix/<slug>, chore/<slug>, docs/<slug>
  3. Commits: feat(scope): ..., fix(scope): ..., docs(scope): ..., chore(scope): ...
  4. Don't create PRs without my approval.
  5. One PR per feature. Include: what/why, list of changes, how to test.
  6. Clean up branch after merge.

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.
