book-capture CLAUDE.md

book-capture CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from masterleopold/book-capture. It costs 1,109 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for a macOS tool that captures book pages from Kindle, Apple Books, PDFs, or photos, reads the text with OCR, and creates themed Obsidian notes. OCR means turning text in images into editable text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, troubleshooting, or contributing to the book-capture plugin.
Why use it?
It gives contributors the project rules, file references, setup checks, and expected workflow in one place.

Instructions file

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

book-capture 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

A Claude Code plugin: captures book pages from Mac Kindle, Apple Books, Kindle Cloud Reader, PDF, or photos of a physical book, OCRs them, and generates thematic Obsidian Markdown. macOS only.

Reference

  • README.md — what it does, install, requirements, the eight /book-capture:* commands, output shape, settings fields, troubleshooting
  • docs/architecture.md — layers, command/agent mechanics, stage file contracts, per-source capture details, known inconsistencies
  • docs/page-images.md — why WebP, the migration script, photo orientation and ordering in full
  • CONTRIBUTING.md — fork/PR flow

Development

No build, no tests, no CI. Verification is running the thing.

bash scripts/setup.sh                  # npm install + compile vision-ocr + playwright chromium
bash scripts/setup.sh --check-only     # exit 1 if deps missing; every command runs this first
claude plugin validate ./              # manifest / frontmatter check
claude --plugin-dir ./book-capture     # load this working copy and exercise the commands

Scripts are ESM .mjs run directly with node, and each prints its usage on bad args — the fastest loop for anything below the prompt layer:

node scripts/import-photos.mjs <photo-dir> --output-dir <dir> --dry-run
node scripts/extract-text.mjs <captures-dir> --concurrency 5 --claude-threshold 0.6

ensureVisionOCR only checks that scripts/vision-ocr exists, so after editing vision-ocr.swift, rm scripts/vision-ocr or run setup.sh — only setup.sh compares mtimes. A stale binary otherwise keeps serving the old OCR silently. That binary and scripts/node_modules/ are gitignored.

macOS is load-bearing: screencapture, osascript, inline swift/swiftc, mdls. Poppler (brew install poppler) for PDF only.

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.
