Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is jakubkrzysztofsikora/screen-recording's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on screen-recording 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 screen-recording 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

screen-recording 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 11d 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

What it actually says

screen-recorder-mcp

MCP server for macOS screen recording via FFmpeg avfoundation.

Quick Reference

  • Language: TypeScript (strict mode, ESM)
  • Runtime: Node.js 18+
  • Platform: macOS only (uses avfoundation)
  • Transport: stdio
  • Build: npm run build (outputs to dist/)
  • Test: npm test (Jest with ESM via --experimental-vm-modules)
  • Typecheck: npm run typecheck
  • Lint: npm run lint

Architecture

  • src/index.ts — MCP server entry point, registers 5 tools
  • src/recorder.tsScreenRecorder class managing FFmpeg child process
  • src/devices.ts — avfoundation device discovery (screen + audio)
  • src/storage.tsRecordingStorage class, persists to ~/.screen-recorder-mcp/recordings.json
  • src/types.ts — All types and custom error classes

Key Design Decisions

  • Only one recording at a time (enforced in ScreenRecorder)
  • FFmpeg is spawned via child_process.spawn() (never exec()) for security
  • Graceful stop sends q\n to FFmpeg stdin, with 10s SIGKILL timeout
  • All tool handlers catch errors and return structured { success: false, error_type, error, resolution } — never throw to the MCP client
  • Tests mock child_process.spawn — never actually spawn FFmpeg in unit tests
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.
