CLAUDE.md

morningstar CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from lonexreb/morningstar. It costs 1,018 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for MorningStar, an automated coding agent that reads product requirements from Notion and works on a code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand MorningStar's Python project structure, installation, command-line usage, and integrations with Notion and Slack.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the project context, setup details, and operating rules it needs to work consistently. It also documents how progress can be reported through Slack, a team chat service.

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is lonexreb/morningstar's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on morningstar 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 morningstar 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

morningstar 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 9d 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.

MorningStar

Autonomous coding agent that reads a PRD from Notion, analyzes a codebase, generates tasks, and implements them using Claude Code CLI. Posts progress to Slack.

Tech Stack

  • Python 3.10+ with typer + rich
  • Claude Code CLI (headless mode via -p)
  • Notion MCP for PRD ingestion
  • Slack webhooks for status updates + bot token for two-way Q&A

Install

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Usage

morningstar run \
  --notion-url "https://notion.so/PRD-abc123" \
  --slack-webhook "https://hooks.slack.com/services/..." \
  --repo /path/to/repo

Project Structure

  __init__.py    -- version
  cli.py         -- typer CLI entry point (run, version, dry-run, process-queue, status)
  engine.py      -- core loop + 24/7 queue processor (fetch, plan, execute, commit, PR) + RunRecord history
  banner.py      -- ASCII art banner and branding

Conventions

  • TaskResult and RunRecord are frozen (immutable). RunState and QueueResult are mutable (accumulated in the loop).
  • All Claude CLI calls go through _run_claude() in engine.py
  • One-way Slack posts go through slack_post() (webhook)
  • Two-way Slack Q&A goes through slack_post_and_get_reply() (bot token + polling)
  • Question detection via parse_question_block() regex on Claude output
  • Logs written to <target-repo>/.agent-logs/
  • Run history written to <target-repo>/.morningstar/run-history.jsonl (append-only, capped at 500 records). Surfaced by morningstar status.
  • Weekly spend ledger lives at <target-repo>/.morningstar/weekly-spend.json (ISO week key + running total).
  • Budget tracked via RunState.cost -- includes PRD fetch + task gen + execution
  • All user-supplied inputs are validated before use (model allowlist, webhook URL, task IDs)
  • AI-generated task IDs are sanitized via _sanitize_task_id() before filesystem use
  • git add excludes sensitive file patterns (.env, *.pem, *.key, etc.)
  • PRD fetch runs in a temp directory with read-only tools (no Bash)
  • Task generation uses read-only tools (no Bash) -- only execution gets write + Bash

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.
