gozod: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

gozod CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kaptinlin/gozod. It costs 3,776 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository guidance for GoZod, a Go library that checks whether data matches expected shapes and can convert those shapes to JSON Schema, a standard format for describing JSON data. It covers the project layout, commands, and rules for coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on GoZod, especially when navigating its packages, running tests and linters, checking documentation, or following its development workflow.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project context and required checks before changing code, reducing guesswork about where things belong and how to verify changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

gozod 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.

GoZod

GoZod is a TypeScript Zod v4-inspired validation library for Go 1.26.5. The root package is a user-facing facade over concrete schemas in types/, shared contracts in core/, runtime machinery in internal/, struct-tag helpers in pkg/tagparser, and JSON Schema conversion in jsonschema/.

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.
