In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on agent-notifier so edits follow its rules, TypeScript and pnpm setup, notification system, command-line interface, and cross-platform expectations.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a shared description of how this particular project must be changed and tested, including macOS and Windows requirements.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is JohnPremKumar/agent-notifier's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-notifier 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-notifier configures →

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

agent-notifier 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 2mo 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/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

**Adapter contract:** `export function classify(payload: unknown): Event | null` — never throws, returns `null` for unmapped events. **Single notify chokepoint:** all dispatch flows through `core/notify.ts`; idle-gating,

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agent-notifier — CLAUDE.md

Cross-platform desktop notifier for AI coding CLIs. Hooks into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode and pings the user on macOS or Windows when a session needs attention — permission, idle 60s, turn done. One install, every agent, every machine.

Working Rules

  • Think first — state assumptions, surface tradeoffs, ask when unclear.
  • Minimum code — no features beyond the ask, no speculative flexibility, no error handling for impossible cases.
  • Surgical edits — every changed line traces to the request; flag pre-existing dead code, don't delete it.
  • Goal-driven — restate the task as a verifiable success criterion before coding.
  • Cross-platform always — every change works on macOS and Windows. If a path is OS-specific, the other OS gets an equivalent test or a documented manual smoke step.

Tech Stack (locked — do not propose alternatives)

Layer Choice
Language / runtime TypeScript strict, Node ≥ 20 LTS (CI: 20.x + 22.x)
Package manager pnpm + workspaces (packages/core, packages/cli)
Notifications node-notifier (bundles alerter mac, SnoreToast win)
CLI commander — subcommands install, uninstall, doctor, hook
Build / test / lint tsup · Vitest · ESLint + Prettier
Release / CI Changesets → npm; GitHub Actions matrix {os: [macos, windows], node: [20, 22]}
Validation zod at every external-input boundary (hook payloads, config files)

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.
