md-anything: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

md-anything CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ojspace/md-anything. It costs 993 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions and a runbook for md-anything, a command-line tool and MCP server that converts text files or web pages into Markdown. A runbook is a practical guide for running and checking a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install dependencies, lint, build, test, run conversions, process folders of inputs, check capabilities, and configure MCP connections.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the current commands, expected behavior, and error details needed to work with the project correctly.

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

md-anything 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.

Important behavior notes

CLI shape

Both forms are intentionally supported:

  • bun run src/cli.ts convert <input>
  • bun run src/cli.ts <input>

If you run bun run src/cli.ts convert with no input:

  • stderr includes Missing input for convert command.
  • exit code is 1

Guided CLI errors

The CLI is expected to steer users toward the right command:

  • directory input points to mda ingest <path>
  • unknown input suggests mda --help or mda examples
  • weak extraction suggests mda doctor

Coverage lives in tests/integration/cli-ux.test.ts.

Ingest reality

Current ingest behavior is simple:

  • walks a folder
  • converts supported files
  • returns converted, skipped, failed, and per-doc metadata
  • supports -r and -o

It does not currently support source manifests, --graph, or --index.

MCP safety model

src/mcp.ts + src/mcp-support.ts enforce stricter rules than the CLI:

  • local paths must stay inside the current workspace root
  • only http / https URLs are allowed
  • private and localhost URLs are blocked by default
  • set MDA_MCP_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS=1 only when intentionally overriding that policy

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.
