forward-deployed-engineer-toolkit CLAUDE.md

forward-deployed-engineer-toolkit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from mollyretter/forward-deployed-engineer-toolkit. It costs 479 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for coding agents working on a specific software toolkit. It covers how to structure skills, write commits and pull requests, run checks, and protect private data in public build logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following the project's development workflow, checking skills before merging changes, writing compliant commits and pull requests, and keeping sensitive information out of CI output.
Why use it?
It gives agents the repository rules they need to follow and warns them that continuous-integration output is public, while Braintrust traces are private.

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

forward-deployed-engineer-toolkit 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 5d 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.

Working in this repo

Notes for agents (Claude Code) collaborating on forward-deployed-engineer-toolkit. Project-level guidance; user-level writing preferences live in user memory.

Commit and PR conventions

  • One gitmoji per commit (unicode preferred, e.g. ✨, ♻️, 🐛, 📋). Do not double up emoji and text code.
  • PRs go through gh pr review with explicit dev approval before any review comment posts publicly.

Skill conventions

  • Each skill ships in two shapes: a Claude Code skill (SKILL.md) and an importable schema/library (schema.ts plus tests).
  • New skills should follow the directory shape of skills/north-star/ (the prior art).
  • validate-skills.mjs and vitest run in CI on every PR; both must be green before merge.

Privacy: CI stdout is public, braintrust is private

This repo is public. GitHub Actions logs are public. Braintrust traces are private. Anything any CI script prints to stdout or stderr is durably public.

Rules for CI scripts that touch braintrust data:

  • Eval scripts, telemetry scripts, and threshold-check scripts may print only aggregate numbers (counts, precision, recall, percentages, averages). Never:
    • PR diff content, even partial
    • Agent prompts or responses, even partial
    • Finding text, location strings that reference real files, or suggestion text
    • Dev decision content (the labels themselves, beyond aggregate counts)
    • Any field of a logged trace beyond the trace ID
  • If a script needs to indicate which traces it processed, print trace IDs only. Anyone with braintrust access can look up the content; anyone without it sees only opaque identifiers.
  • On API errors: print a sanitized error message (e.g. braintrust API error: status 429), never the request or response bodies.
  • When in doubt, do not print. Add a comment explaining why a field is intentionally redacted so future maintainers do not "fix" it.

This rule applies to every script under scripts/ and every workflow under .github/workflows/. Skill files (SKILL.md) repeat the rule for the agent's benefit during interactive runs, but the canonical statement is here.

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.
