agent-island: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agent-island CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from javen-yan/agent-island. It costs 1,047 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of project instructions for Agent Island, a macOS SwiftUI application with a Rust bridge, which is a component that connects the app to Rust code. It documents build, dependency, test, and analysis commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build signed or unsigned versions, resolve Swift dependencies, compile the Rust bridge, run Rust tests, and perform Swift analysis.
Why use it?
It tells a coding agent how to build the app and bridge consistently and how to run the relevant checks. This avoids guessing between Xcode, shell scripts, and Cargo commands.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is javen-yan/agent-island's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-island 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 agent-island 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

agent-island 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 9d 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

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

Build, test, and development commands

Main app (macOS SwiftUI)

  • Build app + bridge (default local flow):
    • ./scripts/build.sh
  • Build app in unsigned mode (CI-style / local without signing):
    • AGENT_ISLAND_NO_SIGN=1 ./scripts/build.sh
  • Build in Xcode via CLI (Debug):
    • xcodebuild build -project AgentIsland.xcodeproj -scheme AgentIsland -configuration Debug
  • Resolve Swift package dependencies:
    • xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies -project AgentIsland.xcodeproj -scheme AgentIsland

Rust bridge (bridge-rs)

  • Build release bridge binary:
    • ./scripts/build-rust-bridge.sh
    • or cargo build --release --manifest-path bridge-rs/Cargo.toml
  • Run bridge tests:
    • cargo test --manifest-path bridge-rs/Cargo.toml
  • Run a single Rust test:
    • cargo test --manifest-path bridge-rs/Cargo.toml <test_name>

Lint / analysis

This repo does not define a dedicated lint script. Use platform-native checks:

  • Swift static analysis:
    • xcodebuild analyze -project AgentIsland.xcodeproj -scheme AgentIsland -configuration Debug
  • Rust linting / formatting checks:
    • cargo clippy --manifest-path bridge-rs/Cargo.toml --all-targets -- -D warnings
    • cargo fmt --manifest-path bridge-rs/Cargo.toml --check

Packaging / release helpers

  • Local release packaging workflow (notarization/DMG/appcast/release automation helper):
    • ./scripts/create-release.sh

High-level architecture

AgentIsland is a macOS menu bar runtime that normalizes hook events from multiple CLI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) into one internal protocol and one shared UI/state engine.

Core runtime layers

  1. Official hook protocols (agent-specific)

    • Each agent emits its own hook/event format.
  2. Rust bridge normalization (bridge-rs)

    • Entrypoint: bridge-rs/src/main.rs
    • Dispatch: bridge-rs/src/dispatcher.rs
    • Shared payload model: bridge-rs/src/protocol.rs
    • Agent adapters: bridge-rs/src/adapter/{claude,codex,gemini}.rs
    • Output is a normalized HookPayload with stable fields used by Swift.

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.
