What is mxcli CLAUDE.md?

A set of contribution instructions for the mxcli repository, a command-line tool for working with Mendix projects. It explains the expected process for proposing, building, testing, reviewing, and submitting changes.

Use it when contributing to mxcli, especially when preparing a proposal, reviewing changes, running build and test commands, or opening a pull request.

It gives coding agents and contributors the repository’s required steps before they edit or submit code. This helps avoid missing approvals, validation commands, or pull-request checks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.07017	$0.07017
Opus 5.5	$0.02807	$0.02807
Sonnet 5.5	$0.01403	$0.01403
Haiku 4.5	$0.00702	$0.00702

Security

Grade A, and why

mxcli 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 9d 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.

This file provides guidance for Claude Code when working with this repository.

Welcome — Contributing to mxcli

If you're starting a new task, here's how contributions work in this repo:

File an issue first — describe the bug or feature before coding. See CONTRIBUTING.md for details.
Get approval — wait for maintainer sign-off before starting work.
Create a feature branch — feature/123-short-description or fix/456-what-broke.
Use the contributor commands to stay on track:
- /mxcli-dev:proposal — create a structured feature proposal (asks the right questions, investigates BSON storage)
- /mxcli-dev:review — review your changes against the PR checklist before pushing
Validate locally — make build && make test && make lint must all pass.
Open a PR — link the issue, document Mendix Studio Pro validation, confirm agentic testing.

For the full workflow, read CONTRIBUTING.md. The evidence bar every change is held to is in "Working Rules for a Change" below; the subsystem checklists live in /mxcli-dev:review.

Project Overview

ModelSDK Go is a Go library for reading and modifying Mendix application projects (.mpr files) stored locally on disk. It's a Go-native alternative to the TypeScript-based Mendix Model SDK, enabling programmatic access without cloud connectivity.

Build & Test Commands

# build the CLI (preferred - uses Makefile)
make build

# run tests
make test

# format and vet code
make fmt
make vet

# run a specific example
go run ./examples/read_project/main.go /path/to/project.mpr
go run ./examples/modify_project/main.go /path/to/project.mpr

# run the code generator
go run ./cmd/codegen/main.go -input <reflection-data-dir> -version 10.0.0 -output ./generated/metamodel

Note: This project uses modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go) and does not require CGO. No C compiler is needed.

Note: The VS Code extension (vscode-mdl/) uses bun, not npm/node. Use bun install, bun run compile, etc. The Makefile targets (make vscode-ext, make vscode-install) already use bun.

Changes

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.
