dotrun: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

dotrun CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from jvPalma/dotrun. It costs 7,688 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for DotRun, a Bash-based system for running personal scripts, aliases, and shell configuration from anywhere. It supports Bash, Zsh, and Fish shells, which are programs that interpret terminal commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when setting up or developing DotRun and its shell integrations. They cover the development script, symbolic links, required files, version data, and setup help.
Why use it?
They explain how the development setup links live source files into the installed locations. This reduces setup mistakes when testing changes to commands, helpers, configuration, or shell integration.

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

dotrun 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 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.

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.

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

Project Overview

DotRun (dr) is a unified Bash script management framework that provides instant access to custom scripts, aliases, and configurations from anywhere. It supports Bash, Zsh, and Fish shells.

Version: 3.1.3

Development Setup

# Clone and set up development environment
./dev.sh

# Get help on setup script
./dev.sh --help

The dev.sh script sets up a complete development environment with 7 steps:

  1. Symlinks dr binary to ~/.local/share/dotrun/
  2. Symlinks .dr_config_loader for shell integration
  3. Symlinks core feature modules (core/*.sh) and help-messages/ directory tree
  4. Symlinks helper utilities (helpers/*.sh)
  5. Symlinks VERSION file
  6. Symlinks shell integration files for Bash, Zsh, and Fish (with stale symlink cleanup)
  7. Creates ~/.local/bin directory for binary access

This creates symlinks from ~/.local/share/dotrun to core/shared/dotrun/, enabling live testing without reinstallation. The script validates required files (core/shared/dotrun/dr and core/shared/dotrun/ structure) before proceeding.

v3.1.3 updates:

  • Symlinks entire core/help-messages/ directory tree (replaces old file-by-file copying)
  • Cleans stale symlinks in shell directories before creating new ones (removes dangling links from deleted source files)

Logging design: The script uses color-coded output functions (info, success, warning, error) with unicode indicators for clear progress tracking during development setup.

Common Commands

# Linting (ShellCheck is required)
shellcheck core/shared/dotrun/dr
find core/shared/dotrun -name "*.sh" -exec shellcheck {} +

# Test core workflows manually
dr set test-script    # Create script
dr test-script        # Run script
dr -L                 # List with docs
dr -a set test        # Create alias file
dr -c set test        # Create config file
dr -col list          # List collections
dr reload             # Reload shell config (applies alias/config changes)
dr upgrade --check    # Check for updates
dr upgrade            # Upgrade to latest version

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.
