starboard CLAUDE.md

starboard CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from palamim/starboard. It costs 1,922 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository-specific instructions for Claude Code working on the Starboard Swift app. They document commands, code style, architecture, and decisions that may not be obvious from the source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building, running, or modifying Starboard, including its menu-bar behavior, settings panels, themes, and Dock integration.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project rules and practical context needed to make changes that fit the existing codebase.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

starboard 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 today.

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.

Guidance for Claude Code working in this repo.

Commands

  • Build: swift build
  • Run: .build/debug/Starboard, backgrounded (swift run blocks the terminal on stdout/stderr)
  • No tests, linters, or CI beyond .github/workflows/build.yml.

Code style

Zero comments in Sources/Starboard/, by design — this file is the only place rationale lives. If you add non-obvious logic, document the why here, not inline.

Architecture

Plain SPM executable, no Xcode project, no Info.plist — main.swift sets .accessory activation policy directly instead. AppDelegate's behavior is split across AppDelegate+*.swift extensions by concern (the invisible main menu bar, the clickable popup panel menu, Dock-tracking state machine, Dock-relative geometry, screen resolution, Dock Accessibility reads, debug logging, theme switching, panel appearance settings, the Accessibility fallback hint); DockPresence, PanelBuilder, TerminalTheme, PanelSettings, Theme, ThemePickerView, SettingsPanelView, TerminalLayout, ShellEnvironment, FallbackHintPanel, and Mascot are standalone. Read the code for how it works — it's small and the names are literal.

Panel corner radius, background tint opacity, and terminal font are all user-adjustable at runtime via the "Settings…" panel menu item (SettingsPanelView/AppDelegate+Settings.swift), persisted in UserDefaults through PanelSettings. Corner radius always has a concrete value (defaults to TerminalTheme.defaultCornerRadius until overridden); tint opacity is nil until the user touches the slider, so switching themes still shows each theme's own baked-in alpha rather than silently forcing one opacity on every theme; font name likewise falls back to TerminalTheme.defaultFontName (the first installed preferred Nerd Font, else the system monospace font) until overridden. The font picker enumerates installed fonts, keeps those marked monospaced by AppKit, and presents one regular-preferred face per family while storing its PostScript name. Panel width was deliberately left out of this — the whole product idea is gluing to the Dock's tray width, so that one stays a hardcoded constant in TerminalLayout.

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.

starboard CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository palamim/starboard (339 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 1,922 tokens to every session, about $0.0096 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
