nano: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

nano CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from NanoNative/nano. It costs 1,065 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of project instructions for developing NanoNative/nano, a Java microservice framework. It documents the project structure and the Maven commands used to compile, test, package, and create a native build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Nano code, running its Maven build or tests, checking coverage, or preparing a release build.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the repository-specific rules and commands needed to work on this project consistently.

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

This is NanoNative/nano's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on nano 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 nano 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

nano 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Nano is a lightweight Java microservice framework that revolutionizes development by eliminating traditional OOP patterns (Controllers, Services, Repositories) in favor of static event listeners that react to events in a functional, stateless manner.

Core Philosophy:

  • Static Methods, Not Objects: Business logic lives in static methods, not service objects
  • Event-Driven Communication: Everything communicates through events, not direct method calls
  • Universal Services: Services are generic connectors for external systems - no business logic
  • TypeMap Integration: Built-in type conversion using Berlin Yuna's TypeMap library
  • Global Error Handling: Errors are events that can be subscribed to globally

Build & Development Commands

Maven Commands

  • Build: ./mvnw clean compile or mvn clean compile
  • Test: ./mvnw test or mvn test
  • Package: ./mvnw clean package or mvn clean package
  • Coverage Report: ./mvnw clean verify (generates Jacoco coverage in target/site/jacoco/)
  • Release Build: ./mvnw clean deploy -P release (requires GPG setup)

GraalVM Native Image

  • Add the native-image profile to pom.xml and run: mvn package -Pnative-image
  • Project is designed to be fully compilable with GraalVM for native executables

Architecture & Code Structure

Core Components

  • Nano: Main application class extending NanoServices
  • Context: Central hub for configuration, event channels, and service management
  • Event<T, R>: Generic event system with payload and response types
  • Service: Base interface for external system connectors (HTTP, databases, etc.)
  • Channel: Event routing and subscription mechanism

Key Directories

  • src/main/java/org/nanonative/nano/core/: Core framework classes
  • src/main/java/org/nanonative/nano/services/: Built-in services (HTTP, logging, metrics, file watching)
  • src/main/java/org/nanonative/nano/helper/: Utility classes and event system
  • src/test/java/org/nanonative/nano/examples/: Working examples and patterns
  • docs/: Comprehensive documentation

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.
