block CLAUDE.md

Instructions for a project plugin that protects selected files and directories using .block configuration files. It works with Claude Code and OpenCode, two AI coding tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure protected paths, create .block files, and understand how the protection checks run before file-changing operations.
Why use it?
It prevents editing, writing, patching, or shell operations from changing files marked as protected.

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

block 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 2d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This plugin provides file and directory protection using .block configuration files. It supports both Claude Code and OpenCode. When installed, the plugin intercepts file modification operations and blocks them based on protection rules.

Architecture

The core protection logic lives in hooks/protect_directories.py (Python, no external dependencies). Both Claude Code and OpenCode integrations call this script.

Claude Code integration

  • PreToolUse hook: Runs protect_directories.py to check if the target file is protected before allowing Edit, Write, NotebookEdit, or Bash operations
  • hooks/hooks.json - Hook configuration
  • hooks/run-hook.cmd - Cross-platform entry point (polyglot script)
  • commands/create.md - Interactive command for creating .block files
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json - Plugin metadata

OpenCode integration

  • tool.execute.before hook: TypeScript plugin that calls protect_directories.py before edit, write, bash, or patch operations
  • opencode/index.ts - Plugin entry point
  • opencode/package.json - npm package metadata

Dependencies

  • Python 3.8+ - Required for the protection hook (no external packages needed)
  • pytest - For running tests (dev dependency only)

Testing

Run the test suite with pytest:

# Install dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run all tests
pytest tests/ -v

# Run specific test file
pytest tests/test_basic_protection.py -v

# Run with coverage
pytest tests/ -v --cov=hooks --cov-report=term-missing

Testing the Plugin Locally

To test protection locally:

  1. Ensure Python 3.8+ is installed
  2. Create a test directory with a .block file
  3. Attempt to modify files in that directory - operations should be blocked

Git Worktrees

When creating git worktrees, use the .worktree folder in the project root:

git worktree add .worktree/<worktree-name> <branch-name>

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.

block CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository kodroi/block (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 535 tokens to every session, about $0.0027 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
