Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is kelp/webdown's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on webdown 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 webdown 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 B, and why

webdown CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

Webdown Development Guide

Working with Claude

  • No hallucinations: If Claude is uncertain about any answer or how to do something, it should explicitly say so rather than guessing or making up information.
  • Clear uncertainty: When encountering ambiguous requirements or unknown aspects of the codebase, Claude should openly acknowledge uncertainty and ask for clarification.
  • Providing alternatives: When unsure about a specific solution, Claude should present multiple options along with their potential trade-offs.

Version Management (Semantic Versioning)

We follow Semantic Versioning for version numbering (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH):

  • Patch version (0.4.1 → 0.4.2): Documentation updates, bug fixes, and other changes that don't modify the API
  • Minor version (0.4.2 → 0.5.0): New features or enhancements that maintain backward compatibility
  • Major version (0.9.0 → 1.0.0): Breaking changes, significant rewrites, or major feature overhauls

When making changes, choose the appropriate version increment based on the impact of your changes.

Modern Python Development Setup (Python 3.10+)

Build & Testing Commands

  • Install dependencies: poetry install
  • Run all tests: poetry run pytest or make test
  • Run specific test: poetry run pytest webdown/tests/test_file.py::TestClass::test_function
  • Run with coverage: poetry run pytest --cov=webdown or make test-coverage
  • Run integration tests: poetry run pytest --integration or make integration-test
  • Type checking: poetry run mypy webdown or make type-check
  • Linting: poetry run flake8 webdown or make lint
  • Formatting: poetry run black webdown && poetry run isort webdown or make format
  • All checks: make all-checks
  • Building package: poetry build or make build

Path-Independent Environment Management

  • We use a path-independent approach that works regardless of where the repo is cloned
  • Poetry is configured to create virtualenvs in-project: poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
  • Use ./scripts/run.sh <command> to run any command in the correct environment
  • Examples:
    • Run tests: ./scripts/run.sh pytest
    • Run pre-commit: ./scripts/run.sh pre-commit run
    • Run any other command: ./scripts/run.sh python -m webdown.cli

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.
