recipe-tools: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

recipe-tools CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from lka/recipe-tools. It costs 550 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for recipe-tools, a Python service whose tools handle image-selection work. They describe its architecture, shared utilities, working-directory setting, and development conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or testing tools, managing temporary files and image folders, configuring the working directory, or running the project's formatter and linter. The input does not describe the service's user-facing features in detail.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the local rules needed to change the project without placing server logic in the wrong module or using inconsistent formatting and checks.

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

recipe-tools 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

CLAUDE.md

Projektstruktur, Installation und Befehle stehen in der README.md. Hier nur Architektur-Wissen und Konventionen fuer die Entwicklung.

Architektur-Pattern

  • Zentrale Server-Registrierung: server.py importiert reine Funktionen aus tools/ und wrapped sie mit @mcp.tool() + Logging. Tool-Module haben keine FastMCP-Abhaengigkeit.
  • FastMCP-Internals in Tests (FastMCP >= 3.0): asyncio.run(mcp.list_tools()) liefert Liste mit .name; asyncio.run(mcp.get_tool("name")) liefert Tool-Objekt mit .fn(); analog mcp.list_prompts() / mcp.get_prompt("name") fuer Prompts.
  • Shared Utils in core/: Gemeinsam genutzte Funktionen (get_working_dir, create_tmp_dir_if_needed, cleanup_tmp_dir, get_image_subdirectory) leben in core/utils.py. Image-selector-spezifisches (transform_coords) bleibt in image_selector/utils.py.
  • Working Directory: Wird ueber IMAGE_SELECTOR_WORKING_DIR Env-Var gesteuert (Fallback: os.getcwd()). Tests nutzen monkeypatch.setenv() mit tmp_path.

Code-Stil

  • Formatter: black (bestimmt Quote-Style → double quotes)
  • Linter: flake8 (Konfiguration in .flake8)
    • max-line-length = 88 (kompatibel mit black)
    • max-complexity = 10 (McCabe)
    • extend-ignore: E203, E501, W503, E402
    • Docstrings: Google-Style
  • Kein flake8-quotes – bewusst entfernt, black steuert Quotes
  • Sprache in Code/Docstrings: Deutsch (Umlaute in Docstrings vermieden, z.B. "ue" statt "ue")

Implementierungs-Details

  • Build-System: hatchling (build-backend = "hatchling.build")
  • Python >= 3.11 (verwendet str | None Union-Syntax)
  • gui.py-Methoden haben # pragma: no cover (Tkinter nicht testbar in CI)
  • _UNIT_PATTERN in html_builder.py: Case-sensitive (EL, TL sind Grossbuchstaben)
  • _clean_source Regex: (?<!/) Negative Lookbehind verhindert, dass Jahreszahlen nach "/" entfernt werden (z.B. "03/2025")
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.
