Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Codex.

This is malkreide/news-monitor-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on news-monitor-mcp 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 news-monitor-mcp 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

news-monitor-mcp 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 354 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

Teil 1 — Konventionen (portfolio-weit)

Vor der Arbeit

Klon-Aktualität prüfen — Standard-Branch ermitteln, nicht main annehmen:

B=$(git ls-remote --symref origin HEAD | sed -n 's|^ref: refs/heads/\([^[:space:]]*\).*|\1|p')
git fetch origin "${B:?Standard-Branch nicht ermittelbar}" &&
  git rev-list --count HEAD..FETCH_HEAD

Drei Server im Portfolio heissen ihren Standard-Branch master (openlex-mcp, swiss-courts-mcp, swisstopo-mcp); dort scheitert ein fest verdrahtetes origin/main mit «couldn't find remote ref main». Wer das für ein Netzproblem hält, arbeitet weiter auf genau dem veralteten Klon, vor dem dieser Absatz warnt. Den :?-Schutz nicht weglassen: Bei leerem B fetcht git still den Remote-HEAD und endet mit 0.

Ein veralteter Klon erzeugt eine rote CI, deren Ursache nicht im Diff steht. Am 3.8.2026 zweimal passiert — beide Male fehlten genau die Commits, die das Gate einführten, an dem der Branch scheiterte.

In diesem Repo läuft die Prüfung zusätzlich als SessionStart-Hook (.claude/hooks/session-start.sh, registriert in .claude/settings.json). Er meldet nur, wenn Commits fehlen, und geht bei jedem Netz-, Remote- oder Git-Problem still durch — er ersetzt den Handgriff oben deshalb nicht, sondern fängt das Vergessen ab. Sein Schweigen ist kein Beleg für einen aktuellen Klon.

Gates lokal fahren, mit der GEPINNTEN ruff-Version aus der CI. Eine andere Version meldet Abweichungen, die niemand verursacht hat.

Tests

Gegenprobe ist Pflicht. Ein Test, der grün bleibt, wenn man die Implementierung entfernt, prüft nichts. Jede neue Zusicherung einzeln neutralisieren und zeigen, dass genau die zugehörigen Tests fallen.

Zwei Fallen, die beide grün blieben:

  • Eine Fake-Uhr, die nur beim Schlafen vorrückt, kann eine Zusicherung über echte Zeit nicht widerlegen.
  • monkeypatch.setattr(modul.asyncio, "sleep", ...) greift ins Modul asyncio selbst und entschärft die Mechanik im ganzen Prozess. Patche einen Modul-Alias (_sleep = asyncio.sleep), nicht das fremde Modul.

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.
