CLAUDE.md

claudeleaf CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from lonetis/claudeleaf. It costs 5,741 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Claudeleaf, a tool that lets an AI agent edit Overleaf projects, which are online collaborative LaTeX documents, in real time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or maintaining Claudeleaf's TypeScript SDK, command-line interface, or MCP server for editing Overleaf projects.
Why use it?
They explain the project's structure, technology, and data flow so contributors can change it consistently.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is lonetis/claudeleaf's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claudeleaf 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 claudeleaf 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 A, and why

claudeleaf 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 8d 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.

CLAUDE.md

Internal documentation for Claudeleaf — the single source of truth for how the project works. (User-facing docs live in README.md.)

What this is

Claudeleaf bridges an Overleaf account to an API so Claude — or any agent/tool — can edit any of the account's projects programmatically through Overleaf's live web-editing channel (not git). Edits appear to collaborators in real time, attributed to the signed-in user. One instance is account-scoped: it lists every accessible project and edits any of them (by id or name); each project is backed by its own realtime connection.

TypeScript / Node, delivered as three layers over one core:

  • a TypeScript SDK (OverleafClient, account-scoped; ProjectSession, per-project),
  • a CLI (claudeleaf) — thin command wrapper,
  • an MCP server — thin tool wrapper, for Claude Code.

Tech stack

  • Node.js 20+, TypeScript (ESM, NodeNext), built with tsc to dist/. npm for tooling.
  • ws — the realtime WebSocket transport.
  • global fetch (Node) — the Socket.IO handshake and the REST tree/projects endpoints.
  • playwright-core — drives the user's installed Chrome/Edge for the one-time manual login (no browser download). Loaded lazily (dynamic import in auth.browserLogin) so the SDK/CLI/MCP stay lightweight — important for npx.
  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk + zod — the MCP server.
  • vitest — unit + live integration tests. tsx — run TS directly (dev / MCP launch).

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.
