CodeRAG: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

CodeRAG CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from maciek-O-digiaidev/CodeRAG. It costs 1,123 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for CodeRAG, a tool that builds a searchable map of a codebase and related documents for AI coding agents. It uses source code, documentation, and project backlog information to provide context through MCP tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Helping an AI agent understand, search, and navigate the CodeRAG project, including its ingestion pipeline, storage, retrieval engine, MCP server, and tests.
Why use it?
AI agents often lack enough context about a large or unfamiliar codebase. These instructions explain the project’s structure, technology choices, and context-retrieval system so agents can work with it more accurately.

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

CodeRAG 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 6d 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.

CodeRAG — Project Context for AI Agents

What is CodeRAG?

CodeRAG is an intelligent codebase context engine for AI coding agents. It creates a semantic vector database (RAG) from source code, documentation, and project backlog, then exposes it as MCP tools that give AI agents deep understanding of the entire codebase.

Architecture

Sources (Git, Jira, Confluence, MD)
  → Ingestion Pipeline (Tree-sitter AST, NL enrichment, metadata)
    → Embedding & Storage (LanceDB, BM25 index, dependency graph)
      → Retrieval Engine (hybrid search, graph expansion, re-ranking, token budget)
        → Agent Interface (MCP Server: coderag_search, coderag_context, coderag_status)

Tech Stack

  • Language: TypeScript (Node.js, ESM)
  • Code parsing: Tree-sitter (WASM bindings)
  • Embedding (local): Ollama + nomic-embed-text
  • Embedding (API): voyage-code-3, OpenAI text-embedding-3-small
  • Vector DB: LanceDB (embedded, zero-infra)
  • Keyword search: MiniSearch (BM25)
  • NL Summarization: Ollama (qwen2.5-coder / llama3.2)
  • MCP Server: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • CLI: Commander.js
  • Testing: Vitest with coverage
  • Package manager: pnpm workspaces

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.
