Navigator: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Navigator CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from hmlongco/Navigator. It costs 635 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Navigator, a SwiftUI framework for moving between screens in Apple-platform apps. They describe its navigation model, supported platforms, and main code patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding screens, deep links, sheets, checkpoints, or parent-child navigation in the Navigator codebase.
Why use it?
They explain how this project expects navigation to be structured, helping agents avoid manual setup and incompatible SwiftUI changes.

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

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

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

Navigator 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 10d 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.

CLAUDE.md

Navigator is a SwiftUI navigation framework built on NavigationStack. It eliminates manual navigationDestination registrations and supports deep linking, checkpoints, and modular app patterns.

Platforms: iOS 17+, macOS 14+, tvOS 17+, watchOS 10+, visionOS 1+ Swift: 6.2, strict concurrency, @MainActor isolation throughout

Core pattern

Navigation is driven by enums conforming to NavigationDestination (Hashable + View). Each enum case is a screen; associated values pass parameters. The enum's body returns the view for each case — no per-destination registration needed.

ManagedNavigationStack replaces NavigationStack. It creates a Navigator, injects it into the SwiftUI environment, and registers a single AnyNavigationDestination handler so any destination type can be pushed without extra setup. Access the navigator with @Environment(\.navigator) var navigator.

Navigator (@Observable, @MainActor) manages the navigation path, sheet/cover presentations, checkpoints, locks, and the parent–child hierarchy that mirrors the presentation tree.

Key patterns

  • NavigationMethod — how a destination is presented: .push, .sheet, .managedSheet, .cover, .managedCover, .send
  • Checkpoints — named return points; any view can return to a named place without knowing the stack structure; support typed value returns
  • Deep linking via send/receivenavigator.send(values:) broadcasts Hashable values; views subscribe with .onNavigationReceive; routes abstract multi-step sequences behind a single perform(route:) call
  • Modular destinationsNavigationProvidedDestination lets a module declare destinations without knowing the view implementations; the app root registers providers via .onNavigationProvidedView
  • Dismissible treeManagedPresentationView / .managedPresentationView() registers custom sheets with Navigator so dismissAny() and checkpoints can traverse the full presentation tree

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.
