In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when planning or implementing SoloCrawl features, especially before non-trivial work, API integrations, tests, and checks that confirm the project still runs.
Why use it?
They give an AI coding assistant the project context needed to make changes that follow the repository’s design and development rules.

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

solocrawl CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

CLAUDE.md

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

What this is

SoloCrawl is a self-hosted, fully async Python tool for web search, scraping, and package-version lookup, exposed three ways: an MCP server (FastMCP, stdio), a CLI, and a library. Zero accounts/API keys for the default setup. Requires Python 3.14+.

Spec-driven workflow

This project is built from specs in docs/, not ad hoc. Before non-trivial work:

  • Read docs/context/ — project.md (scope + non-goals), architecture.md (how it's assembled + performance guardrails), conventions.md (how to write code), agent-workflow.md (Definition of Done).
  • Features live in docs/features/NN_*.md and are built one at a time in the order of docs/features/ROADMAP.md. Each feature must leave the project runnable.
  • Stick to the intent of a spec, not its literal wording; verify real-world API shapes when they differ. Never cross the non-goals in project.md (no RAG/embeddings, no own version DB, no ToS/robots bypass, no paid-key default providers, no logic in the MCP/CLI shells).

Quality gate (mandatory — must all pass before a feature is "done")

ruff check . && ruff format --check .   # lint + format, must be clean
pyright                                  # standard mode, no errors (this is the gate, not Pylance)
pytest                                   # green; runs against fixtures, never the live web

Run a single test: pytest tests/test_federation.py::test_name -q

Setup

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"          # add ".[browser]" for Playwright fallback, ".[all]" for everything
playwright install chromium      # only if using the browser fallback

Run locally: solocrawl scrape <url> / solocrawl search "<q>" / solocrawl package <name> --ecosystem <eco>. MCP entry point is solocrawl-mcp (stdio).

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.
