pdfnative-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

pdfnative-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Nizoka/pdfnative-mcp. It costs 1,444 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for contributors to pdfnative-mcp, a server that lets agents use the pdfnative PDF engine. They explain the project structure, commands, and coding rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building, type-checking, linting, testing, checking examples, and understanding the architecture of this TypeScript PDF server.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project-specific guidance needed to change and check the code consistently, while separating contributor guidance from user instructions.

Written for Claude Code: PreToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is Nizoka/pdfnative-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on pdfnative-mcp 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 pdfnative-mcp configures →

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

pdfnative-mcp 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.

Claude Code addendum

Everything in AGENTS.md applies. This file adds only what is specific to Claude Code sessions in this repository.

Token discipline

  • Run tests through npx tsx scripts/gate.ts --fast or npx vitest run <file> (the dot reporter is configured); never paste a full test run into context.
  • Never Read dist/, coverage/, test-output/, package-lock.json, node_modules/. The deny list in .claude/settings.json applies to Read and, at best effort, to Grep/Glob — ask the built server (tools/list, prompts/get) instead of reading dist/.
  • A tool's inputs are in src/tools/<name>.ts; a shared fragment (layout, print, typography, color, …) is one Grep away in src/*.ts. tools/list is about 300 kB: project it, never print it.
  • Read README.md, ROADMAP.md, docs/KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md and docs/AGENT_CONTRACT.md by section: grep -n "^## " first, then a line range. CHANGELOG.md: only the top entry.
  • .github/instructions/*.md are the per-area rules: open the ONE matching the area you touch (table in AGENTS.md §Where is what).
  • Sample regeneration: npm run build && npm run test:generate then npx tsx scripts/verify-samples.ts. Any --update (rebaseline) must be justified in the release note.
  • Never push, never open PRs/issues/releases, never tag (HITL policy, hook-enforced). No Co-Authored-By trailers (attribution.commit is "").

Gate

  • npx tsx scripts/gate.ts --fast before proposing a commit; npm run gate is the CI profile; --publish --require-all on release branches only.
  • --only <step> for one step, --json for machine output; logs in test-output/.gate/<step>.log — open only the failing step's log, through the shell.
  • When the gate exceeds the shell timeout, run it in the background and read the result with --json.

Where to look first

  1. src/server.ts — the TOOLS registry, prompts, instructions; tests/_fixtures/tool-shape.json — every pinned schema shape.
  2. AGENTS.md §Where is what — the path → purpose → instruction-file table.
  3. docs/assets/ecosystem.json — every count and version; npm run verify:docs enforces it.

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.
