Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

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

About the project

PyGWalker is a Python library that turns a pandas dataframe into an interactive interface for exploring, cleaning, annotating, and visualizing data. It is used in Jupyter Notebook by people who want drag-and-drop data analysis or natural-language queries instead of writing every visualization manually.

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

pygwalker 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.

TL;DR for a coding agent

  • Setup: python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install -e ".[dev]", then cd app && yarn install && yarn build.
  • Run everything in dev mode with live reload + centralized logs: python scripts/dev.py (starts the frontend watch build + JupyterLab with PYGWALKER_DEV=1 / ANYWIDGET_HMR=1). Pass --no-browser for headless runs.
  • Logs: logs/frontend.log (build/watch), logs/jupyter.log (server URL + token), logs/pygwalker.log (kernel-side Python logs). Frontend runtime logs are in the browser console.
  • In a notebook: just import pygwalker as pyg; pyg.walk(df) — no special setup; edits under app/src/ hot-reload into the widget.
  • Before pushing: python scripts/local_ci.py (or, narrower, yarn typecheck + yarn build in app/, and ruff check/ruff format --check/pytest from the root).
  • Don't: commit pygwalker/templates/dist/, hand-edit app/src/interfaces/comm.generated.ts, or rely on PYGWALKER_DEV/ANYWIDGET_HMR at runtime for end users.
Changes

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.
