tpl CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from KarpelesLab/tpl. It costs 352 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Development instructions for tpl-go, a Go project, covering how to build, test, format, structure, and handle errors in the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide Go development tasks such as running builds and tests, formatting imports, designing errors, and testing exported functions.
Why use it?
They give contributors consistent rules for code style, tests, dependencies, and useful error messages.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

tpl 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

TPL-GO Developer Guide

Build Commands

  • make - Format and build project
  • make deps - Get all dependencies
  • make test - Run all tests

Test Commands

  • go test -v ./... - Run all tests verbosely
  • go test -v -run=TestName - Run a specific test by name

Code Style

  • Use goimports for formatting (run via make)
  • Follow standard Go formatting conventions
  • Group imports: standard library first, then third-party
  • Use PascalCase for exported types/methods, camelCase for variables
  • Add comments for public API and complex logic
  • Place related functionality in logically named files

Error Handling

  • Use custom Error type with detailed context
  • Include error wrapping with Unwrap() method
  • Return errors with proper context information (line, position)

Testing

  • Write table-driven tests with clear input/output expectations
  • Use package tpl_test for external testing perspective
  • Include detailed error messages (expected vs. actual)
  • Test every exported function and error case

Dependencies

  • Minimum Go version: 1.23.0
  • External dependencies managed through go modules

Modernization Notes

  • Use errors.Is() and errors.As() for error checking
  • Replace interface{} with any type alias
  • Replace type assertions with type switches where appropriate
  • Use generics for type-safe operations
  • Implement context cancellation handling for long operations
  • Add proper docstring comments for exported functions and types
  • Use log/slog for structured logging
  • Add linting and static analysis tools
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.
