joa CLAUDE.md

joa CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from neethanwu/joa. It costs 408 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for joa, covering its Bun and Node.js runtimes, architecture, storage rules, coding standards, and test commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing joa, running its tests and checks, working with JSONL and SQLite storage, or changing its layered modules.
Why use it?
They give an agent the repository-specific rules needed to change the code without breaking its data flow or runtime support.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

joa 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

joa — CLAUDE.md

Runtime

  • Dev tooling: Bun — bun test, bun install, bunx biome.
  • Published CLI: Node.js — tsc build to dist/, shebang #!/usr/bin/env node.
  • SQLite: Runtime shim in db.tsbun:sqlite under Bun, better-sqlite3 under Node.js.

Architecture

  • Write order: JSONL first, SQLite second. JSONL is source of truth.
  • Session ID: no module-level singleton. sessionId() is a generator. Callers pass it through LogContext.
  • Three-layer module architecture:
    • Layer 1 (Foundations): errors, ids, config — no internal deps
    • Layer 2 (Storage): time, entry, journal, db, sync, context — depends on Layer 1 only
    • Layer 3 (Operations): formatters, log, query, status — depends on Layer 1 + 2

Code Standards

  • No any without a JSDoc comment explaining why.
  • No SQLite driver imports outside db.ts.
  • Core library (src/core/) has no CLI or MCP imports.

Testing

  • Tests use in-memory SQLite (new Database(":memory:")) and temp dirs.
  • Run tests: bun test

Lint / Format

  • Run lint: bunx biome check .
  • Fix lint: bunx biome check --write .
  • Typecheck: bunx tsc --noEmit

Important Constraints

  • FTS escaping: always escape user-provided search strings before passing to SQLite FTS.
  • Tag filtering: uses json_each() for exact match. Tags must not contain " or \ characters (validated at write time).
Changes

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.
