CLAUDE.md

NodeBenchAI CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from HomenShum/NodeBenchAI. It costs 4,733 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for working on NodeBench AI with Claude Code, an AI coding tool. They describe coordination rules, important files, and the required process for testing and merging changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, reviewing, merging, or deploying the NodeBench AI project.
Why use it?
They reduce conflicts between people or agents editing the same files and help prevent untested or incorrectly deployed changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is HomenShum/NodeBenchAI's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on NodeBenchAI 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 NodeBenchAI 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

NodeBenchAI 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 18d 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.

NodeBench AI — Claude Code Project Instructions

New to this repository? Read docs/START_HERE.md first. It follows one question from the keypress to the answer, step by step through the real files, and tells you what you can run without a Convex deployment. Everything below assumes you already know that path. Its line citations and the CodeTour steps in .tours/ are checked by node scripts/validate-tours.mjs — run that after moving any code those documents point at.

Agent coordination (read FIRST when other agents may be active)

AGENT_COORDINATION.md (repo root) is the live ledger of who is editing what right now and what backend contracts are ready to call. Before editing a hot file (public/proto/home-v5.html, backend/convex/events.ts, backend/convex/schema/eventsSchema.ts, the ScratchNode e2e specs): scan its Active claims, claim your region before you start, hand off new backend contracts there, and never convex deploy/deploy:prod out-of-band to shared prod (declare new shared-table fields v.optional and announce them instead). This prevents the cross-agent collisions — schema drift, file-churn — that caused a real prod incident during the ScratchNode session.

Deploy & merge workflow (P0 — read before merging anything)

The repo's branch protection now enforces:

  • Required CI checks on every PR: CI / Typecheck, CI / Runtime smoke, CI / Build
  • enforce_admins: true — admin merges DO NOT bypass these checks anymore

Use gh pr merge <N> --auto --squash --delete-branch, NOT --admin --squash.

  • --auto waits for required checks then auto-merges. Same speed as --admin for green PRs.
  • --admin will be rejected by the platform on any PR that hasn't passed CI.
  • If you legitimately need to merge a CI-failing PR (rare), the user must lower the gate manually.

Vercel deploy webhook: the GitHub→Vercel push integration silently dropped events earlier (project link's sourceless: true flag). It was re-wired via vercel git disconnect && vercel git connect. As belt-and-suspenders, .github/workflows/vercel-deploy-hook-backup.yml curls a Deploy Hook URL on every push to main. Required repo secret: VERCEL_DEPLOY_HOOK_URL (already set). If this drift recurs, run gh secret list to confirm the secret is still there + check the workflow's last run for non-2xx.

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.
