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

Narraitor 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 28d 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.

CLAUDE.md — Narraitor

Canonical instructions for coding agents in this repo. AGENTS.md is gitignored here, so this tracked file is the single canon — edit it, not a copy.

Narraitor is an AI-driven narrative RPG framework. You build a world (its theme, attributes, skills, and tone), create characters in it, and play through a generated, choice-driven story with a tracked inventory and journal. Single-player web app: no backend database, player data lives in the browser (IndexedDB via Zustand persistence), and AI generation runs through the player's own provider key.

Stack

  • Next.js 15 (App Router) + React 19, TypeScript strict. Node >= 20, npm.
  • Zustand 5 — one store per domain under src/state/ (characterStore, inventoryStore, journalStore, worldStore, ...), persisted to IndexedDB via persistence.ts.
  • Plain CSS + design tokens — var(--token) plus clsx. No Tailwind (removed in the design-system migration); no cn(), no cva, no tailwind-merge.
  • AI generation through src/lib/ai/ (Google Gemini via @google/genai), keyed by the player's own provider key rather than a server-held key.
  • Secrets in .env.local. Never commit them.

Run it

npm run dev          # scripts/dev.sh — port 3000 in the main checkout; worktrees auto-select
npm run storybook    # port 6006
npm run kill         # emergency: pkill -f 'next dev'

Check whether a dev server is already running before starting one (lsof -iTCP:3000). rcv-simulator-va's main checkout also defaults to 3000 — don't run both at once. Verify: curl -s localhost:3000 | head -1 returns HTML; Storybook responds on 6006.

The quality gate

Run before any commit — CI runs these separately and the production build enforces lint and types anyway:

npm test                   # Jest unit/integration
npm run type-check         # tsc --noEmit
npm run lint               # ESLint (Next + test/script globs, JSX/markup hygiene)
npm run lint:css           # Stylelint over **/*.css — run after ANY .css edit

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.
