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

smart-citizen 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 18d 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 — 280 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file guides Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working in this repo.

Before editing files under src/<dir>/, scripts/, or tests/, read that directory's CLAUDE.md first. See Per-directory guides below for the list.

Communication style

  • Plain words, short sentences. Cut adjectives, hedges, and throat-clearing. If a sentence isn't earning its weight, drop it.
  • One concept per message. When the work involves several distinct concepts, present the first, stop, and ask the user before moving on. Do not stack ideas, decisions, or trade-offs in a wall of text.
  • Prompt at decision points. When the next step needs the user's preference, judgment, or clarification, ask before proceeding. A one-line confirmation is cheaper than redoing work.

Project Overview

Smart Citizen (formerly SC Localization Editor) is a Windows-only PyQt6 GUI for customizing Star Citizen localization strings. Tagline: Smarter Strings for Star Citizen. Users edit strings in a table backed by the global source (locally cached base.ini from Data.p4k) merged with per-channel user.ini overrides, then apply the result to their game with backup management.

Branding: User-facing strings, registry path (Osiris DevWorks\Smart Citizen), and the default data root (Documents\Smart Citizen\) use the new name. AppSettings keeps one-shot migrators for the legacy Osiris DevWorks\SC Localization Editor registry tree and Documents\SC Localization Editor\ folder (rebrand was 0.9.0); keep them while pre-0.9 users may upgrade.

Version: VERSION.TXT is the sole source of truth. Now 2.3.1.

Build modes are covered in src/utils/CLAUDE.md under Portable vs registry build mode.

Per-directory guides

Directory-specific docs (read the one for the layer you're touching):

  • src/gui/CLAUDE.md — GUI layer (PyQt6 widgets, workers, table model).
  • src/utils/CLAUDE.md — settings, build-mode flag, P4K extraction, enhancement helpers.
  • src/parser/CLAUDE.md — INI parsing, status classification.
  • src/merger/CLAUDE.md — source merge engine.
  • src/models/CLAUDE.md — domain data models.
  • scripts/CLAUDE.md — standalone CLI scripts and the build pipeline.
  • tests/CLAUDE.md — test suite layout, pytest config.

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.
