youclaw: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

youclaw CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from OtterMind/youclaw. It costs 1,627 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for YouClaw, a desktop AI assistant built with a Tauri desktop shell, a Bun backend, and a React web interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to start development, run type checks and tests, build the desktop sidecar, or understand where the backend, frontend, database, scheduler, and agent code live.
Why use it?
They show how the desktop and web parts fit together and provide the commands used to develop, test, and build them.

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 OtterMind/youclaw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on youclaw 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 youclaw 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

youclaw 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.

Commands

bun dev              # Start backend dev mode (Bun)
bun dev:web          # Start frontend dev mode (Vite)
bun dev:tauri        # Start Tauri dev mode (Vite frontend + Bun backend + WebView, auto-opens DevTools)
bun start            # Production backend
bun typecheck        # TypeScript type check
bun test             # Run tests (bun test)
bun build:sidecar    # Compile Bun sidecar binary
bun build:tauri      # Build Tauri desktop app

Tech Stack

  • Runtime: Bun (backend sidecar + package manager)
  • Desktop Shell: Tauri 2 (Rust, window/tray/updater)
  • Backend: Hono (HTTP) + bun:sqlite (database) + Pino (logging)
  • Agent: @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent + @mariozechner/pi-ai
  • Frontend: Vite + React + shadcn/ui + Tailwind CSS
  • Validation: Zod (v4, import from zod/v4)
  • Scheduling: croner (cron expression parser)
  • Telegram: grammY
  • Config Format: YAML (yaml library)

Architecture

  • Desktop mode: Tauri (Rust shell) -> WebView loads frontend + Sidecar runs Bun backend
  • Web mode: Vite frontend + Bun backend deployed independently, frontend proxies API via Vite proxy
  • Dev mode: bun dev:tauri launches Vite frontend + Bun backend + Tauri WebView simultaneously (debug skips sidecar)
  • Build pipeline: bun build --compile compiles backend into single-file sidecar -> Vite compiles frontend embedded in Rust binary -> Tauri bundles DMG/MSI/AppImage
  • Frontend communicates with Bun backend uniformly via HTTP/SSE (same for desktop and web mode)
  • Port config: Rust reads port from Tauri Store -> injects PORT env var to sidecar; frontend reads port from the same Store to build baseUrl
  • Three-layer architecture: Entry layer (Telegram/Web/API) -> Core layer (AgentManager/Scheduler/Memory/Skills) -> Storage layer (SQLite/filesystem)
  • EventBus decouples Agent execution from multi-channel output
  • IPC Watcher uses filesystem polling for Agent <-> main process communication (scheduled task CRUD)

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.
