pyre: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

pyre CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from MothBlight-Git/pyre. It costs 6,612 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction document that defines how to build Pyre, a desktop grid of paper-like notes with deadlines that visibly burn away near their due time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing Pyre so the agent follows the specified behaviour, visual references, fire effect, portability, and agent-readable note system.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent a written build contract and priorities to follow when requirements or reference files differ.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is MothBlight-Git/pyre's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on pyre itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything pyre configures →

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

pyre 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 — 427 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PYRE — build spec

A frameless, transparent, always-on-top desktop grid of square paper notes. A note with a deadline burns away from its bottom edge in the last two hours. Notes can be dragged anywhere on the grid; burning ones claim the top-left unless you have moved them yourself. Everything is readable and writable by an AI agent. The whole thing runs from a single portable executable.

This document is the build contract. Read it fully before writing code.


0. Authority order

When these disagree, higher wins:

  1. This file — the current requirements.
  2. reference/burn-system.css — an approved verbatim extraction of the fire rendering. Copy it in unchanged. Several gradient stops are non-obvious and were arrived at by fixing specific visual defects; reconstructing them by eye will look wrong and you will not know why.
  3. reference/note-example.html — the fidelity target. Open it in Chrome; your build must match it.
  4. reference/design-handoff.md — the design system doc. Still authoritative for type, colour, layer order, motion and copy. Superseded only where §1 below says so.
  5. reference/Pyre Rail Directions.dc.html — the full design exploration. Reference, not source.

For QUEUE (the Smartsheet panel): reference/queue/QUEUE-BRIEF.md wins on appearance and reference/queue/QUEUE-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md wins on behaviour; sections 13–16 of the design exploration are the resolved queue design. QUEUE-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md §1.1 lists every place the queue deliberately departs from those files.

spec/ holds tested reference implementations of the two things the design files do not cover. Copy them into src/ as indicated in each header; they are not pseudocode.


1. What changed since the design handoff

Four requirements landed after the design was approved. Each one supersedes part of it.

# Change Supersedes
1 Burning starts at T−2h and maxes at due. The 7-day heat horizon and heat = clamp01(1 − t/168). The "firelight · 5d" and "glow · 2d" stages are no longer burn stages — they become the ambient warmth band (§2.2).
2 Notes are draggable on a free grid. "Sort: descending heat… not user-configurable in v1."
3 Burning notes take the top-left unless intentionally moved. The pure sort. Sort now governs only unpinned notes.
4 Portable single-file package. ~/.stickyburn/notes.json as the only data location.

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.
