code-insights: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

code-insights CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from melagiri/code-insights. It costs 2,095 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project guidance for Code Insights, a local command-line tool and dashboard that analyses sessions from AI coding tools. It explains the project structure, which is a monorepo—a repository containing several related packages—and its local-only data model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing the CLI, React dashboard, or server; working in the pnpm workspace; reading project documentation; or preserving the local SQLite storage and no-cloud data model.
Why use it?
It gives contributors the project context and rules needed to change a live codebase without overlooking its packages, documentation, or privacy requirements.

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

This is melagiri/code-insights's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on code-insights 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 code-insights 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

code-insights 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 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.

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.

CLAUDE.md — Code Insights

Primary Claude Code workspace. All sessions run from this repo root. See docs/ for detailed documentation. This file is the quick reference.


Project Overview

Code Insights is an open-source CLI tool and embedded dashboard for analyzing AI coding sessions. It parses session history from multiple AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, VS Code Copilot Chat), stores structured data in a local SQLite database, and provides both terminal analytics and a browser-based dashboard with LLM-powered insights.

Architecture: Single-repo pnpm workspace monorepo with three packages: CLI, dashboard (Vite + React SPA), and server (Hono API).

Privacy model: Fully local-first. No cloud accounts, no sign-ups, no data leaves the machine. SQLite database at ~/.code-insights/data.db.


Development Philosophy (CRITICAL)

No MVPs, no prototypes, no half-measures. This product is LIVE with real users. Every feature ships as a full, complete implementation. We do not build "minimum viable" anything — we build the real thing, iterate based on feedback, and revert or update if it doesn't work out.

This principle applies to planning, designing, AND implementation:

  • Planning: Don't scope down to "MVP facet set" vs "ideal set." Design the complete solution.
  • Designing: Don't propose phased rollouts with "ship phase 1, add phase 2 later." Design it right the first time.
  • Implementing: Don't cut corners with "we can add this later." Build it now or explicitly decide not to build it.

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.
