CLAUDE.md

XActions CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from nirholas/XActions. It costs 505 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for using XActions with Claude, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to install XActions skills, configure its MCP server, load only needed tools, and find the correct files and runtime workflow for common requests.
Why use it?
They provide the project’s source of truth for choosing command-line or MCP tools and help prevent agents from following outdated or conflicting instructions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

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

XActions 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

XActions: instructions for Claude

Read AGENTS.md. It is the single source of truth for how to work in this repository, and it is kept current. This file adds only what is specific to Claude; it deliberately does not restate AGENTS.md, because the last time four files described the repository they drifted apart and an agent worked a whole session from the stale one.

AGENTS.md answers, in this order: which lane to use (shell out to the xactions CLI, or load the MCP server), the CLI lane and its output contract, the MCP lane, a table from common request to the exact file that answers it, the skills, the directory map and the three runtime contexts, and the mistakes that have actually cost people time here.

Claude Code specifics

Install the skills so they are available in every session:

xactions skills install --all --global   # writes ~/.claude/skills/<id>/
xactions skills install --all            # or ./.claude/skills/ in this project
xactions skills list                     # what is installed, and from where

Add the MCP server:

claude mcp add xactions -- npx -y xactions-mcp

Load only the tools the session needs. The full list is 152 tools and about 60 KB of JSON before you have read a single tweet:

claude mcp add xactions -- npx -y xactions-mcp --tools read,analytics

Hold every write for human approval before you let an agent near a real account:

XACTIONS_MCP_REQUIRE_APPROVAL=1 npx xactions-mcp

Writes then become drafts, released with xactions drafts approve <id> or the x_approve_draft tool. Independently of that gate, every write is charged against a rolling 24 hour per-account cap that survives a restart.

Claude Desktop

.mcpb is a bundle the user drags onto Settings > Extensions. It carries the server and its dependencies and prompts for the session cookie and the tool groups at install time, so nothing is typed into a config file. Built by node scripts/build-mcpb.mjs and attached to each release.

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.
