wyx: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

wyx CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from jlifyio/wyx. It costs 5,439 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Wyx, a Claude Code plugin that uses hooks to show architecture boundaries when code is edited near a module specification. A module specification is a document describing what a code module should do and where its boundaries are.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing Wyx, its specifications, architecture checks, or session, pre-tool, and post-tool hooks. They also describe how its skills and plugin files fit together.
Why use it?
They help the coding agent follow the project's architecture rules and reduce changes that cross module boundaries incorrectly. They also explain that Wyx is a plugin with hooks, rather than a standalone command-line program.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is jlifyio/wyx's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on wyx 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 wyx configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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 B, and why

wyx CLAUDE.md scanned grade B 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 22d 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.

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

Project Overview

wyx is a Claude Code plugin that provides architecture guardrails for LLM-assisted development. The core mechanism: when Claude writes code near a module with a spec, the PreToolUse hook adds boundary declarations to Claude's context with the edit's result, intended to reduce cross-module violations (pilot-01: no measurable reduction — DEC-025).

Adapts ideas from WYSIWID (Meng & Jackson, MIT): the concept spec format and the concept/sync vocabulary. The injected boundary sections, calls between concepts, documentation-only syncs and the absence of a runtime are wyx's own departures — README §Background and DEC-022 record them. WYWIWID (Dr. Ernie) is cited as see-also only (DEC-022).

This is a Claude Code plugin (5 SKILL.md files + 3 hooks), not a CLI tool or runtime engine. The primary differentiator is the hooks — the skills are convenience packaging for generating the specs that fuel the hooks.

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.
