pygraphistry: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

pygraphistry CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from graphistry/pygraphistry. It costs 96 tokens per session, scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

Repository guidance for AI coding agents working on the Graphistry Python library. It points agents to the main instructions and explains where shared skill files are linked for different coding tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up the expected skill-folder links and find the project’s main guidance and additional reference material.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from using outdated or inconsistent instruction locations across Codex and Claude.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is graphistry/pygraphistry's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on pygraphistry 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 pygraphistry configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is ln -s ../.agents/skills .claude/skills.

About the project

PyGraphistry is a Python library for loading, preparing, analyzing, and exploring large graphs through Graphistry’s GPU-accelerated visual graph analyzer. Data scientists and developers use it with dataframes, graph databases, and tools such as Pandas, Spark, RAPIDS, and Apache Arrow. Catalogue add-ons support workflows around using the library.

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

pygraphistry 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 15d 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

See AGENTS.md for repository AI guidance.

Skill path conventions:

  • Codex expects .agents/skills/
  • Claude commonly uses .claude/skills/
  • Canonical repo skills are in .agents/skills/

Local setup:

mkdir -p .claude
ln -s ../.agents/skills .claude/skills

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.
