What is claude-pulse CLAUDE.md?

A repository-specific instruction file for Claude Code, the coding assistant, describing two Bash scripts, their input data, commands, and architecture.

Use it when working on the claude-pulse scripts, checking status-line input fields, or running the repository’s tests and code checks.

It gives the assistant the project’s rules and structure before it changes code, reducing guesses about commands, interfaces, and testing.

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	$0.02310	$0.02310
Opus 5.5	$0.00924	$0.00924
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00462	$0.00462

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-pulse CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

`jq` is required. `git` and `curl` are optional. There is no build step. Users install by curling the scripts straight from `main` on GitHub (see README), so anything merged to `main` ships to users right away.

CLAUDE.md

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

What this is

claude-pulse is two standalone Bash scripts for Claude Code:

statusline.sh: the statusLine command. Claude Code pipes the session JSON to it on stdin. It prints two lines, plus a third agents line while subagents are listed.
subagent-statusline.sh: the subagentStatusLine command. It receives {session_id, columns, cwd, tasks: [...]} on stdin about every 5 seconds while the agent panel lists subagents. It writes one {"id", "content"} JSON line per row, and saves its input for the agents line.

jq is required. git and curl are optional. There is no build step. Users install by curling the scripts straight from main on GitHub (see README), so anything merged to main ships to users right away.

The stdin schemas are documented at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/statusline (see "Available data" and "Subagent status lines"). Check there before adding or changing fields.

Commands

bash tests/run.sh                                              # all tests; offline, uses a temp HOME and cache
shellcheck statusline.sh subagent-statusline.sh tests/run.sh   # lint
bash statusline.sh < tests/fixtures/statusline-full.json       # render a fixture by hand
bash subagent-statusline.sh < tests/fixtures/subagents.json
bash docs/make-preview.sh                                      # regenerate docs/preview.svg (needs python3)

tests/run.sh is a list of expect/reject/equal assertions on ANSI-stripped output. Run it with TZ=UTC LC_ALL=C, as it already does. To check a single case, render the fixture by hand or comment out the other assertions; there is no per-test runner. Under GitHub Actions, failures are also printed as ::error annotations, which the public API serves without auth (/repos/moictab/claude-pulse/check-runs/<job id>/annotations), unlike job logs.

CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs on every push. It runs shellcheck, then the tests on:

ubuntu-22.04 (jq 1.6)
ubuntu-24.04 (jq 1.7.1, GNU coreutils)
ubuntu-latest (26.04, Rust uutils coreutils)
macOS (with /bin/bash 3.2)
Windows (Git Bash)

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.
