context-stats CLAUDE.md

context-stats CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from luongnv89/context-stats. It costs 3,724 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for context-stats, a tool that monitors how much of Claude Code's conversation context remains and shows it with live text graphs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps developers modify the Python statusline, maintain its CSV state files, understand the project structure, and run its tests and coverage checks.
Why use it?
It documents the project's purpose, implementation, CSV data format, and test commands so changes follow the expected contract.

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

context-stats 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 today.

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.

Project Purpose

context-stats provides real-time context window monitoring for Claude Code sessions. It tracks token consumption over time and displays live ASCII graphs so users can see how much context remains.

Implementation

The statusline is implemented in Python. Claude Code invokes the statusline script via stdin JSON pipe — the script reads JSON from stdin and writes formatted text to stdout. The Python implementation persists state to CSV files read by the context-stats CLI. The standalone statusline lives at scripts/statusline.py (Python 3, state-writing, pip-installable via the package).

CSV Format Contract

State files are append-only CSV at ~/.claude/statusline/statusline.<session_id>.state with 15 comma-separated fields. See docs/CSV_FORMAT.md for the full field specification. Key constraint: workspace_project_dir has commas replaced with underscores before writing.

Test Commands

# Python tests (canonical — matches docs/DEVELOPMENT.md agent setup notes)
source venv/bin/activate && pytest tests/python/ -q -p no:cacheprovider

# Coverage (enforces the --cov-fail-under=94 floor from pyproject.toml addopts)
pytest tests/python/ -q -p no:cacheprovider --cov=src/claude_statusline --cov-report=term

Verification Gates

After editing anything under src/ or scripts/statusline.py, run from the activated venv:

ruff check .
mypy src scripts

IMPORTANT: work is not done until lint, typecheck, and tests all pass.

Key Architectural Decisions

  • Append-only CSV state files with rotation at 10,000 lines (keeps most recent 5,000); append+rotation serialized under a best-effort fcntl exclusive lock
  • No network requests — all data stays local in ~/.claude/statusline/
  • Session ID validation — rejects /, \, .., null bytes, plus comma/newline/control characters (CSV safety) for path-traversal and column-shift defense
  • 5-second git command timeout in the Python implementation
  • Config via ~/.claude/statusline.conf — simple key=value pairs

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.

context-stats CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository luongnv89/context-stats (116 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 3,724 tokens to every session, about $0.0186 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 2026-08-30.
