CataForge: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

CataForge CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from lync-cyber/CataForge. It costs 3,945 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for CataForge, a Python framework used to manage an AI-assisted software-development process. They describe its tools, commands, language conventions, and project-specific rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on CataForge to choose the expected setup, test, and lint commands and follow its repository and documentation conventions.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the context needed to work consistently in that repository and avoid treating its documentation pipeline as ordinary application work.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is lync-cyber/CataForge's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on CataForge 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 CataForge 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

CataForge 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.

项目信息

  • 技术栈: Python ≥3.11 · Click(CLI) · pyoxigraph/RDF/SHACL(知识图谱) · linkml(schema) · pytest + ruff + pre-commit
  • 运行时: claude-code
  • 框架版本: 0.19.0
  • 语言定位: 中文框架(提示词/文档/交互用中文;代码/变量/CLI参数用英文)
  • 执行模式: standard
  • 阶段配置: 以下阶段可在 Bootstrap 时标记为 N/A 以跳过:
    • ui_design: 后端/CLI/API-only 项目可跳过(默认行为)
    • testing: 原型/PoC 项目可跳过
    • deployment: 库/SDK 项目可跳过
  • model 继承: AGENT.md 中 model: inherit 继承父会话模型;可用 model: <model-id> 覆盖

执行环境 (Bootstrap 时由 cataforge setup env-block 填入)

  • 技术栈: python
  • 包管理器: uv
  • 安装命令: uv sync
  • 测试命令: uv run pytest -n auto --dist loadscope(全量并行;快速迭代档加 -m "not slow",与 CI 同口径。裸 uv run pytest 串行全量含 slow e2e,仅调试单文件时使用)
  • Lint 命令: uv run ruff check

项目状态 (orchestrator专属写入区,其他Agent禁止修改)

  • 项目性质: CataForge 是成熟、持续迭代的 AI SDLC 框架本体(meta 项目),自身按框架工程流程演进 —— feature branch + PR + Squash merge + TDD + run_local.py/CI 门禁;不运行 orchestrator 的 7 阶段 SDLC 文档管线
  • SDLC 文档管线对本仓 N/A: PRD / ARCH / UI-SPEC / DEV-PLAN / TEST-REPORT / DEPLOY-SPEC 是框架交付给下游业务项目的产物,对元项目本身不需要(非"未开始")
  • 进度事实源: git 历史 / PR / CHANGELOG / docs/proposals/,不在本文件维护阶段或文档状态字段
  • 剩余 backlog(真实状态以各提案头部为准,本行仅防遗忘指针):
    • penpot-bridge C2 + E —— docs/proposals/penpot-bridge-convergence.md(核心已落,C2/E 子项延期)
  • Learnings Registry: (compacted; archive in .cataforge/learnings/registry-archive.md)

文档导航

  • 导航索引: docs/.doc-index.json(机器索引,所有 Agent 通过 cataforge context read 查询;缺失时运行 cataforge context index 重建)
  • 通用规则: .claude/rules/COMMON-RULES.md
  • 子代理协议: .claude/rules/SUB-AGENT-PROTOCOLS.md
  • 编排协议: .cataforge/agents/orchestrator/ORCHESTRATOR-PROTOCOLS.md (orchestrator专属)
  • 状态码Schema: .cataforge/schemas/agent-result.schema.json
  • 加载原则: 按章节/条目粒度按需通过 cataforge context read 加载,不全量加载

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.
