tapo: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

tapo CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from mihai-dinculescu/tapo. It costs 462 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for the tapo project, which includes a Rust library, Python bindings, and an MCP server for Tapo devices. They explain the project structure and how Rust types and feature-gated changes are exposed to Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying tapo, its Python bindings, or its MCP server, especially when exposing Rust types or changing debug-related public APIs.
Why use it?
They help keep the Rust library, Python package, MCP server, type stubs, and changelogs consistent when code changes cross language boundaries.

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

tapo 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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

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

Architecture

Workspace Members

  • tapo — Core Rust library (published to crates.io)
  • tapo-py — Python bindings via PyO3/maturin (published to PyPI)
  • tapo-mcp — MCP server exposing Tapo devices as AI tools/resources

Cross-Language Bindings

When modifying Rust code that has Python bindings (tapo-py), always check if corresponding Python type stubs (.pyi files) need updating. The debug feature in tapo is user-facing public APItapo-py enables it (features = ["python", "debug"]), so all debug-gated types are also exposed to Python. Treat changes behind cfg(feature = "debug") as public API changes requiring changelog entries for both Rust and Python.

Exposing Rust Types to Python

  • Simple value/result types: Annotate directly in the tapo crate with #[cfg_attr(feature = "python", pyo3::prelude::pyclass(from_py_object, ...))] and #[cfg(feature = "python")] crate::impl_to_dict!(TypeName);. Do NOT create a redundant wrapper struct in tapo-py.
  • serde_json::Value → Python: Use crate::python::serde_object_to_py_dict. Do NOT write custom conversion functions — pyo3's serde feature does not auto-implement IntoPyObject for Value.

Python Stub Conventions

  • Ext classes in .pyi stubs (e.g. ToDictExt, DebugExt, OnOffExt) must use typing.Protocol since they describe capabilities of PyO3 classes without real Python-level inheritance.

Problem Solving

When a first fix attempt fails, step back and investigate the root cause before trying another surface-level fix. Explain the diagnosis before proposing the next approach.

Git Commits

Always run /commit when committing. It contains the project's commit conventions.

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.

tapo CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mihai-dinculescu/tapo (800 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 462 tokens to every session, about $0.0023 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
