cc-audit: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cc-audit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex from pa-arth/cc-audit. It costs 2,869 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Developer notes for cc-audit, a local tool that reads Claude Code transcripts and reports spending attribution, model usage choices, and AI-work habits. Its normal analysis runs on the user's machine, while sending data elsewhere requires explicit consent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on transcript parsing, cost or model attribution, reports, consent-controlled network actions, CLI builds, packaging, linting, type checks, or tests.
Why use it?
They explain the tool's privacy boundary and help preserve it while changing parsing, reporting, commands, or build scripts.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Codex and Claude Code: runs codex exec, but also the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is pa-arth/cc-audit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on cc-audit 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 cc-audit 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

cc-audit 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cc-audit

@promptster/cc-audit — point it at your local Claude Code transcripts and see where the money and the bad habits are. Spend attribution, model right-sizing, AI-fluency signals. Distributed as npx @promptster/cc-audit (a single-file bundle) and as standalone binaries.

Core principle: local-first, consent-tiered egress. The deterministic half (parse → attribute → report) runs fully local with no network and no key. Only explicit opt-in steps send anything, each gated proportional to what leaves the machine. Preserve this — never add a code path that phones home on a bare/non-interactive run.

Commands

pnpm build      # tsc → dist/  (run before node dist/cli.js or the bundlers)
pnpm typecheck  # tsc --noEmit
pnpm lint       # oxlint
pnpm test       # vitest run   (pnpm test:watch for watch)
pnpm dev        # tsc --watch

pnpm build:npm  # → bundles/npm/  (esbuild single file + clean package.json; the npm artifact)
pnpm bundle     # → bundles/      (bun --compile binaries + esbuild .mjs fallback; needs bun)

Package manager is pnpm, pinned by the packageManager field (pnpm-lock.yaml is the committed lockfile; pnpm install --frozen-lockfile in CI). scripts/only-pnpm.mjs runs on preinstall and REJECTS npm/yarn — this package is not published with that guard active elsewhere, but here it is the rule. Use corepack pnpm if a stale pnpm shadows the pinned one on PATH. Always pnpm build before running node dist/cli.js.

Architecture

src/cli.ts is the entry point and the only place that orchestrates I/O, prompts, and the consent flow. Everything it calls is a pure-ish module:

  • Ingestadapters/claudeCode.ts reads ~/.claude/projects and adapters/codex.ts reads ~/.codex/sessionsmodel.ts Session/Span types. The model is tool-agnostic so a Cursor adapter can drop in later.

    Codex is opt-in behind --codex, and that is a correctness choice, not caution. The rails do not observe the same things: Codex ships reasoning as encrypted_content (no thinkingChars), has no Read tool (no reads, so no redundant-read rate) and no plan mode. Those fields come back 0/[], which is indistinguishable from "measured and found absent" — averaged in silently, a Codex-heavy user's fluency signals fall because of what the FORMAT omits. Session.source exists so a signal can select its rail instead. Spend, tokens, models, tools and file ops are fully measured on both.

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.
