pituitary: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

pituitary CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from nantobv/pituitary. It costs 644 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for Pituitary, a tool that checks whether software specifications, documentation, and code remain aligned. It defines the project's architecture, coding standards, source-of-truth rules, and workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding implementation and documentation work in the Pituitary project, including its local-file inputs, Markdown documents, SQLite index, command-line interface, and optional MCP wrapper.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent rules for working in the Pituitary repository. It reduces conflicting edits and keeps generated instruction files tied to the canonical AGENTS.md file.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

pituitary 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 8d 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.

Project

Pituitary is a consistency governance tool that keeps specifications, documentation, and code aligned. It builds a temporal, confidence-weighted governance graph from spec bundles and docs, then runs overlap, drift, compliance, impact, and freshness analysis against it. The current repo is focused on local filesystem inputs, Markdown docs, SQLite-backed indexing, a CLI-first interface, an optional MCP wrapper, and repo CI validation.

Coding Standards

  • Read README.md and ARCHITECTURE.md before deep implementation work. Use the active GitHub issues for backlog and priority context.
  • If you touch core write paths or repo governance, also read docs/development/repo-governance.md.
  • Treat repository docs as the primary source of truth; keep GitHub issues aligned with them rather than the reverse.
  • Prefer small, reversible changes and deterministic tooling over hand-maintained generated state.
  • Keep outputs machine-readable where the architecture expects JSON-first behavior.

Architecture Rules

  • First ship is CLI-first. Keep the CLI as the required transport and do not make core behavior depend on MCP, even though the repo also ships an optional MCP wrapper.
  • Scope is local filesystem only: spec.toml + body.md bundles, Markdown docs, SQLite, and sqlite-vec.
  • The repo ships CI for fmt, readiness, test, and vet validation, but GitHub- or vendor-specific reporting integrations remain out of scope.
  • Spec and doc analysis come before code-compliance features.
  • Canonical contract decisions live in ARCHITECTURE.md; update repo docs and GitHub issues together when those contracts change.

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.
