yallmap: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

yallmap CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kckempf/yallmap. It costs 340 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for yallmap, a TypeScript gateway that forwards requests between Claude Code and Anthropic's API and records tracing data for inspection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing the gateway's message route, request routing, streaming, deployment setup, and Langfuse-based observability.
Why use it?
They preserve the project's agreed architecture and warn about details that can easily break, such as streaming responses, authentication headers, and tool-use fields.

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

yallmap 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.

What it actually says

LLM Gateway Project Context

What this is

Anthropic-native LLM gateway in TypeScript. Primary client is Claude Code itself via ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Emits OTel traces to self-hosted Langfuse.

Architectural decisions already made

  • Anthropic API first (not OpenAI), because Claude Code is the primary workload
  • Routing policies as TypeScript functions, not YAML/CEL/config
  • OTel gen_ai.* semantic conventions for trace emission
  • Langfuse as the observability backend (self-hosted)
  • CDK constructs for deployment (extends my existing cdk-dms-replication work)

v0.1 scope (this session)

  • POST /v1/messages route only
  • Transparent pass-through to api.anthropic.com
  • Preserve all headers (x-api-key, anthropic-version, anthropic-beta)
  • SSE streaming piped through — never buffer
  • OTel span emission to Langfuse

Gotchas to design for

  • Streaming: pipe upstream response directly, never .on('data') and collect
  • Tool-use IDs: preserve every field, don't strip unknown ones
  • Auth headers: don't rewrite x-api-key unless upstream expects different scheme

Differentiation hooks (later, not v0.1)

  • Hybrid local/cloud routing (M5 Max Ollama + Anthropic)
  • Code-based policies via TypeScript predicates
  • CDK constructs for AWS deployment

What I'm NOT building

  • OpenAI compatibility (defer)
  • Routing logic (defer)
  • Caching (defer)
  • Anything beyond transparent proxy + observability for v0.1
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.
