drywall: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

drywall CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from nikhaldi/drywall. It costs 515 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A Claude Code plugin that finds repeated or very similar code and helps consolidate it. It uses jscpd to detect duplication, presents ranked results, and includes an agent for refactoring and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scanning a project for exact, near, or structural duplicates, reviewing the most important findings, and refactoring them into shared code.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to search manually for duplicated code and helps organize the resulting cleanup.

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

drywall 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 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.

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 Overview

DRYwall is a Claude Code plugin for detecting and eliminating code duplication. It uses jscpd as its detection engine.

Architecture

The plugin has three components that work together:

  • MCP Server (source: src/jscpd.js, built: servers/jscpd.js) — A Node.js MCP server providing the detect_code_duplication tool. Reads .drywallrc.json, runs jscpd, and returns structured results ranked by impact. The skill and agent both use this tool for detection. Bundled via esbuild for distribution (no node_modules needed at runtime).

  • Skill (skills/scan/SKILL.md) — User-invocable command /drywall:scan that calls the MCP tool and presents the top 10 duplicates with consolidation suggestions.

  • Agent (agents/dedup-refactor.md) — Autonomous refactoring agent (Sonnet, max 30 turns) that calls the MCP tool, classifies duplicates (exact/near/structural), plans consolidation, refactors code, and verifies changes.

Configuration

Projects using DRYwall configure via .drywallrc.json at project root. Keys jscpdVersion and respectGitignore are DRYwall-specific; all other keys are passed through as jscpd CLI flags (camelCase is converted to kebab-case). User arguments override config file values.

Development

  • npm install — install dependencies
  • npm run build — bundle src/jscpd.js (and its dependency src/lib.js) to servers/jscpd.js via build.js
  • The bundle must be rebuilt and committed after changes to src/jscpd.js or src/lib.js
  • npm test — run unit tests (Node.js built-in test runner)
  • Tests live in test/**/*.test.js and cover src/lib.js (helpers extracted for testability)
  • test/fixtures/ contains a sample codebase with intentional duplication for manual testing

Version

The version is defined in package.json and injected into the bundle at build time via esbuild's define. It must also be kept in sync in .claude-plugin/plugin.json — CI verifies this.

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.
