gsccli: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

gsccli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from nalyk/gsccli. It costs 2,150 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Operating instructions for a TypeScript command-line tool that uses Google Search Console and the Indexing API. These services provide website search-performance data and URL indexing requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing search analytics, URL inspection, indexing requests, command options, reports, pagination, caching, or output formats.
Why use it?
They document rules for imports, options, validation, pagination, result formatting, errors, caching, and output so commands behave consistently.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is nalyk/gsccli's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gsccli 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 gsccli 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 C, and why

gsccli CLAUDE.md scanned grade C 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 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Content-addressable. SHA-256 over the request payload → `~/.gsccli/cache/<hash>.json`. Wipe with `rm -rf ~/.gsccli/cache`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

gsccli — Operating Contract

TypeScript ESM CLI for Google Search Console + Indexing API. Senior-grade workflow tooling on top of every GSC API endpoint: auto-pagination, client-side sort, period comparison, parallel batch URL inspection, file-backed query cache, validation guards. Claude operates this repo mostly autonomously.

The 10 rules that break things silently

  1. Imports end in .js, never .ts — import { foo } from './bar.service.js'. ESM + moduleResolution: bundler requires it. Hard build break if violated.
  2. Every command .action() starts with resolveGlobalOptions(command) — single place where flags + env + project .gsccli.json + global ~/.gsccli/config.json are reconciled (in that priority order).
  3. Service results return ReportData ({headers, rows, rowCount}) — even single-value or "Deleted X" responses get coerced into a 1×N row. Formatters depend on it.
  4. handleError(err) is terminal (: never) — never wrap, never rethrow, never try-around it. It is the leaf of every action.
  5. Pipeline order is inviolable: Commander → resolveGlobalOptions + validate → service → ReportData → formatOutput → writeOutput. No layer-skipping.
  6. API clients only via the singletons in searchconsole.service.ts / indexing.service.ts — direct google.webmasters({...}) / google.indexing({...}) bypasses the auth chain and cache.
  7. validate(schema, opts) is terminal — process.exit(1) on ZodError. Don't catch ZodError outside validate. New options need a schema in src/validation/schemas.ts.
  8. New CLI config key = update CLIConfig interface, CONFIG_KEYS map, AND LOCAL_BY_DEFAULT_KEYS (when site-related/per-project) in src/types/config.ts. Otherwise setConfigValue rejects them and defaultScopeFor mis-routes them.
  9. stderr = status (logger/ora). stdout = data (writeOutput). Mixing breaks --format json | jq piping AND breaks the MCP server (which speaks JSON-RPC on stdout).
  10. New top-level command = program.addCommand(createXxxCommand()) in src/index.ts or it's invisible at the CLI surface.

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.
