paper-cranes: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

paper-cranes CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from loqwai/paper-cranes. It costs 10,789 tokens per session, scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

Project instructions for Paper Cranes, a browser-based system that analyses microphone audio and turns it into WebGL visual effects and LED-light controls. It also documents mobile support and physical bead bracelets linked to visualizations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on audio processing, Web Workers, WebGL shaders, browser behavior, mobile support, or the linked hardware features.
Why use it?
It gives developers a reference for the project's architecture and audio pipeline instead of making them infer how components connect.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is loqwai/paper-cranes's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on paper-cranes 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 paper-cranes 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

paper-cranes CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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 5d 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.

Paper Cranes / Beadfamous - Music Visualization System

Project Overview

A real-time browser-based music visualization system that:

  • Performs advanced audio analysis from microphone input
  • Drives GPU-accelerated WebGL visualizations
  • Controls LED lights through screen scraping
  • Works on mobile devices
  • Supports physical bead bracelets that link to specific visualizations

Architecture

Audio Processing Pipeline

Microphone → MediaStream → AudioContext → WindowNode (Hanning) → FFT Analyzer → Workers → Features → Shader

Key Components

1. AudioProcessor (src/audio/AudioProcessor.js)
  • FFT Size: 4096 (optimized from 32768 for ~85ms latency)
  • Smoothing: 0.15 exponential smoothing factor
  • Analyzer Smoothing: 0.2 time constant
  • Uses Web Workers for parallel feature extraction
  • Extracts 15 audio features from hypnosound library
2. WorkerRPC (src/audio/WorkerRPC.js)
  • Manages worker communication with 30ms timeout
  • Handles feature calculation in parallel
  • Returns smoothed default values on timeout
3. Visualizer (src/Visualizer.js)
  • WebGL2 context with frame buffer ping-ponging
  • Passes audio features as uniforms to shaders
  • Supports previous frame access for feedback effects
  • Dynamic resolution scaling for performance

Audio Features Available

Each feature has 11 statistical variations:

  • Current value (e.g., bass)
  • Normalized (0-1 range, e.g., bassNormalized)
  • Mean (historical average)
  • Median (historical median)
  • Min/Max (historical range)
  • StandardDeviation (variability)
  • ZScore (-1 to 1, for detecting anomalies/drops)
  • Slope (linear regression slope over history window — is the feature rising or falling?)
  • Intercept (predicted value at start of history window)
  • RSquared (0-1, how well a linear trend fits — 1.0 = perfect trend, 0 = no trend)

Core Features:

  • SpectralCentroid, SpectralFlux, SpectralSpread, SpectralRolloff
  • SpectralRoughness, SpectralKurtosis, SpectralEntropy, SpectralCrest
  • SpectralSkew, PitchClass
  • Bass, Mids, Treble
  • Energy
  • Beat detection

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.
