burrow CLAUDE.md

burrow CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from jayminwest/burrow. It costs 1,605 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Burrow, a runtime that gives coding agents operating-system-level isolation. They describe its TypeScript and Bun setup, build commands, tests, linting, type checking, and code conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on Burrow, running its tests, formatter and linter, and TypeScript checks, and following its strict TypeScript conventions and sandbox choices.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project rules and verification commands it needs to make compatible changes. They also explain the checks required before committing so common quality problems are caught early.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

burrow 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Burrow

OS-isolated sandbox runtime for coding agents. SPEC.md is the frozen V1 design record; ROADMAP.md is the punch list of forward-looking items. New deferred decisions out of design discussions land in ROADMAP.md as R-NN items rather than as standalone informational seeds.

Tech Stack

  • Runtime: Bun (runs TypeScript directly, no build step)
  • Language: TypeScript with strict mode (noUncheckedIndexedAccess, no any)
  • Linting: Biome (formatter + linter; lint script runs --error-on-warnings, so warnings fail CI)
  • Storage: SQLite via bun:sqlite for session/event persistence
  • Sandbox primitives: bwrap (Linux), sandbox-exec (macOS) — no Docker, no daemon

Build & Test Commands

bun test                      # Run all tests
bun test src/foo.test.ts      # Run a single test file
bun run lint                  # biome check --error-on-warnings .
bun run typecheck             # tsc --noEmit

Quality Gates

Run all three before committing — warnings count as failures:

bun test && bun run lint && bun run typecheck

CI runs the same trinity. Don't merge with lint warnings; promote to error in biome.json or fix at write time.

TypeScript Conventions

  • Strict mode with noUncheckedIndexedAccess — always handle possible undefined from indexing
  • No any — use unknown and narrow, or define proper types
  • All shared types in src/types.ts
  • Import with .ts extensions
  • Tab indentation, 100-char line width (enforced by Biome)

Version Management

Version lives in two places (kept in sync by scripts/version-bump.ts and verified by the publish workflow):

  • package.json"version" field
  • src/index.tsconst VERSION = "X.Y.Z"

Bump via: bun run version:bump <major|minor|patch>

Session Completion Protocol

When ending a work session, complete ALL steps:

  1. File issues for remaining work: sd create --title "..."
  2. Run quality gates (if code changed): bun test && bun run lint && bun run typecheck
  3. Close finished issues: sd close <id>
  4. Push: sd sync && git push
  5. Verify: git status shows "up to date with origin"

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.
