cueclaw: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cueclaw CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from memodb-io/cueclaw. It costs 1,704 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for CueClaw, a system that turns natural-language requests into multi-step agent workflows. It can run independent workflow steps at the same time and support several chat interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on CueClaw's planner, workflow executor, terminal interface, daemon bridge, or WhatsApp and Telegram integrations.
Why use it?
They explain the project's workflow model, planning conversations, background execution, messaging channels, and connection between the user interface and backend.

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

cueclaw 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CueClaw

Orchestrate agent workflows with natural language. Uses the Claude Agent SDK to generate execution plans, confirm with users, and run workflows in the background.

Project Status

MVP implemented (Phases 0-6) with multi-turn planner, decomposed TUI (context/hook architecture), daemon bridge with PID file management, and channel-aware planner. ~316 tests across 33 test files.

Key Concepts

  • Workflow: Natural language → Planner (LLM) → PlannerOutput → framework fills id/phase/timestamps → Workflow JSON (DAG of steps)
  • Planner Session: Multi-turn conversation with the planner — clarify requirements, store credentials, then generate workflow
  • Executor: Parallel DAG execution — independent steps run concurrently via Promise.all
  • Channel: Unified interface for TUI, WhatsApp, Telegram — sendMessage returns message ID, optional editMessage for in-place status updates
  • ChannelContext: Identifies channel + sender, threaded through planner for channel-aware system prompt (bot vs TUI)
  • Daemon Bridge: Abstraction between TUI and backend — detects external daemon via PID file (~/.cueclaw/daemon.pid) or system service
  • TUI Architecture: Decomposed into providers (ThemeProvider → KeypressProvider → DialogManager → AppProvider → AppLayout), context layer (UIStateContext + UIActionsContext), custom hooks (6 in tui/hooks/), command registry (tui/commands/), theme system (tui/theme/ with 3 built-in themes), per-type message components (tui/messages/)
  • Input References: $steps.{id}.output (step results) and $trigger_data (trigger payload), resolved at execution time
  • Container Execution: Opt-in via container.enabled: true in config.yaml — dev mode uses cueclaw-agent:latest (local build via container/build.sh), production uses version-pinned ghcr.io/memodb-io/cueclaw-agent:{version} with auto-pull from GHCR; falls back to local execution if Docker is unavailable or pull fails
  • Session: Per-step (not per-run) — steps don't share session context to avoid pollution
  • File Logging: initLogger() writes to ~/.cueclaw/logs/daemon.log (all processes) and executions/ subdir (per-workflow); composes with TUI in-memory stream via pino multistream

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.
