agents: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agents CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from mtnyilmaz/agents. It costs 580 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A central set of instructions for a layered system of AI-agent rules used across different code editors and project types. It explains how shared rules are organized and installed into another repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install rules for projects such as React, Vue, Next.js, Go, Django, FastAPI, Laravel, or full-stack applications, then sync them with supported editor tools.
Why use it?
It provides a single source for common, language-specific, framework-specific, and project-specific rules instead of maintaining separate copies.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is mtnyilmaz/agents's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agents 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 agents configures →

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to mtnyilmaz/agents. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

Copy the file
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mtnyilmaz/agents/main/CLAUDE.md
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mtnyilmaz/agents

Made for: Claude Code.

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

agents 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 1mo 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.

Claude Instructions

This is a centralized agent rules registry. See README.md for the complete system overview.

What This Repo Is

A layered, multi-IDE AI agent rule system. Rules are organized in .agents/layers/ by scope (universal → language → framework → concern → project), assembled per-repo via install.sh, and synced to IDE tools via sync-rules.sh.

How to Work With This Repo

  1. Read README.md for the full system overview
  2. Rules source of truth: .agents/layers/
  3. Skills: .agents/skills/
  4. Workflows: .agents/workflows/
  5. Scripts: .agents/scripts/install.sh and sync-rules.sh

Installing Rules Into a Target Repo

bash .agents/scripts/install.sh --type <type> --target /path/to/repo
bash .agents/scripts/sync-rules.sh   # run inside target repo

Supported --type values: nextjs, nuxt, vue, react, tanstack, fastify, express, go, django, fastapi, laravel, expo, email-*, fullstack

Layer Order

universal → language → framework → concern → project

Each layer narrows scope. universal applies to every repo. project applies only to one specific repo.

Critical Rules (apply everywhere)

  • Never commit without explicit user permission
  • Conventional Commits: feat(scope): description
  • Adapter pattern for all third-party integrations
  • Soft delete everywhere — never hard delete records
  • No console.log in production code — use structured logger
  • Route → Service → Database — never skip service layer
  • User-facing copy (any app name in the repo): always from that package’s i18n — default en, standard second tr; no hardcoded client-visible literals (dummy/fixture/seed/test data excepted)

Version Policy (MANDATORY)

ALWAYS use @latest when installing any dependency. Never rely on your training data for version numbers — they are outdated. Never copy version numbers from rule/skill/layer files.

# RIGHT — always @latest
npx create-next-app@latest
npx create-expo-app@latest
pnpm add next@latest fastify@latest expo@latest zod@latest

# WRONG — never hardcode versions
npx create-next-app@15    # ❌
pnpm add fastify@5        # ❌
pnpm add expo@54          # ❌

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.
