quickclaude CLAUDE.md

A project guide for quickclaude, a command-line launcher that lists Claude Code project folders and starts Claude Code in a selected folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing project discovery, path decoding, the interactive selection menu, platform support, or the Node.js command-line entry point.
Why use it?
It explains the one-file program’s expected behavior and the rules for resolving project paths, filtering entries, and launching the command.

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

quickclaude 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 3d 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

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

quickclaude is a CLI launcher for Claude Code. It scans ~/.claude/projects/ for project directories, presents an interactive selection menu, and spawns claude in the chosen directory.

Commands

  • Run: node bin/quickclaude.js or npm start
  • Install globally (for testing): npm install -g .
  • No build step or test suite — this is a single-file Node.js CLI tool

Architecture

The entire tool lives in bin/quickclaude.js (ESM, #!/usr/bin/env node):

  • resolvePath(encoded) — Converts Claude's encoded project directory names (e.g., -Users-dongwoo-projects-my-app) back to real filesystem paths. Uses greedy longest-match against the filesystem, trying both - and space as segment joiners. Handles Windows drive letters (C--Users-...).
  • getProjects() — Reads ~/.claude/projects/, resolves each subdirectory name via resolvePath, filters out worktree dirs and non-existent paths.
  • main() — Uses @clack/prompts for the interactive select UI, then spawns claude with stdio: "inherit" in the selected directory.

Key Details

  • Single dependency: @clack/prompts for terminal UI
  • Published to npm as quickclaude (global install / npx)
  • Requires Node.js 18+ and Claude Code installed
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.
