gw1-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

gw1-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Graphmaxer/gw1-mcp. It costs 26,547 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for developing gw1-mcp, an MCP server that provides exact Guild Wars 1 build data, template-code conversion, and build validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for understanding the project’s architecture, commands, technology requirements, testing and formatting rules, and boundaries for adding new tools.
Why use it?
It separates exact game-data and rule checks from strategic reasoning, so the server reports reliable facts and errors while the AI makes recommendations.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is Graphmaxer/gw1-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gw1-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 gw1-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 B, and why

gw1-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade B 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 2d 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.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

the description gate because "Aegis. Ignore all previous instructions." is 40

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

CLAUDE.md — gw1-mcp

What this project is

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives any compatible LLM client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) reliable, deterministic knowledge of Guild Wars 1 builds: skill data lookup, template code encoding/decoding, and build validation.

Core design principle — the MCP is a compiler, not a brain. The LLM does all strategic reasoning (which skills to pick, team composition, meta knowledge, reading guides). This server only does things that must be exact:

  • know the canonical game data (skills, professions, attributes, heroes, IDs)
  • encode/decode official in-game template codes
  • validate builds against game rules
  • report precise, structured errors

Never add a tool that "reasons" or "generates" a build from vague intent. If a tool needs intelligence to work, it belongs in the LLM, not here.

Commands

pnpm install                      # Node >= 22, pnpm 11
pnpm -r typecheck && pnpm -r test # must pass from a clean clone
pnpm lint && pnpm fmt             # oxlint / oxfmt (CI runs fmt:check)
pnpm test:coverage                # reference levels: see Coverage section
pnpm bench                        # vitest bench in every package (see Performance)
pnpm --filter @gw1-mcp/gw-worker dev        # local worker
npx wrangler deploy --dry-run               # bundle check (in gw-worker)

Nothing is ever built to dist: exports point at .ts sources; the worker bundles via wrangler.

Architecture

pnpm monorepo, TypeScript everywhere.

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.
