plantcv-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

plantcv-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from musharna/plantcv-mcp. It costs 745 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of plant-genomics-mcp CLAUDE.md, MIT.

Repository instructions that set standards for writing code, defining outcomes and constraints, and designing tests. CI means automated checks run by the project, while pre-commit hooks check changes before they are committed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing this repository to define acceptance checks, record constraints, follow its house rules, and report the results.
Why use it?
They reduce ambiguous implementation work and tests that pass without detecting the stated bug. They require evidence that a test fails for the intended reason and that the valid path still works.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is musharna/plantcv-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on plantcv-mcp 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 plantcv-mcp configures →

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

plantcv-mcp 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to plant-genomics-mcp CLAUDE.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The bar for code in this repo

Most code here is machine-written. It is held to a HIGHER bar than hand-written code, not a lower one. This file is the contract; CI and the pre-commit hooks are its enforcement. Read it before writing anything.

1. Before code: outcome and constraints, in writing

State, in the PR description or the issue, before the first line of code:

  • Outcome: the observable behaviour that will exist when this is done.
  • Acceptance check: the command whose exit status decides done. If no such command exists yet, writing it is the first task.
  • Constraints: what must not change (public API, file formats, data on disk, runtime budget), and what is out of scope.

Ambiguity is a stop sign. Ask; do not pick the most likely reading.

2. A test is worth only what it can fail on

Every test ships with three controls:

  1. Seen to fail: run it against the broken state and confirm it fails FOR THE STATED REASON. A security test that asserts "some exception was raised" passes on vulnerable code too.
  2. Positive control: a negative assertion (error raised, input rejected) lives in the same test as the assertion that the legitimate path succeeds.
  3. Real execution at every system boundary: code that talks to a registry, a CLI, the network or another process's file layout gets at least one check that drives the real thing, not only a fixture.

A fixture encodes your belief; it cannot fail on that belief. A wall-clock budget cannot tell a slow host from a broken test. A surviving mutant (nightly-guardrails.yml) is the coverage report.

3. House rules (enforced; see .pre-commit-config.yaml)

Each rule is an incident, not a preference:

  • x.replace(a, b) with the result discarded is a silent no-op.
  • pytest.raises(Exception) cannot tell a wrapped error from a leaked one.
  • except ParseError with defusedxml imported lets the attack path escape.
  • # nosec names the test id AND a traced reason.
  • No nested lazy quantifiers; no nohup ... &; no text-transform: uppercase over unit strings; no absolute developer-machine paths.

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.
