What is indiestack CLAUDE.md?

Project-specific instructions for IndieStack, a service that helps people discover developer tools. They describe its Python web application, database, authentication, payments, deployment, and agent commands.

Working on IndieStack routes, shared page components, SQLite data access, authentication, subscriptions, its MCP server, backups, health checks, and deployments.

They give a coding agent the project context and operating rules needed to change, test, deploy, and maintain the code safely.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01206	$0.01206
Opus 5.5	$0.00482	$0.00482
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00241	$0.00241
Haiku 4.5	$0.00121	$0.00121

Security

Grade A, and why

indiestack 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 2mo 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 — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IndieStack

The discovery layer between AI coding agents and 6,500+ developer tools. Python 3 / FastAPI / SQLite / Fly.io. Two founders (Patrick + Ed).

How This Project Works

Routes in src/indiestack/routes/ return HTMLResponse with Python f-string templates
Shared components in src/indiestack/routes/components.py (page_shell, tool_card, upvote_js, category_icon)
Database logic in src/indiestack/db.py — SQLite with aiosqlite, WAL mode
MCP server in src/indiestack/mcp_server.py — published on PyPI as indiestack
Auth in src/indiestack/auth.py — GitHub OAuth, sessions
Payments in src/indiestack/payments.py — Stripe subscriptions
Deploy to Fly.io. Always smoke test first. See rules/deploy.md.

Key Commands

/deploy — smoke test + deploy to Fly.io
/publish-mcp — bump version + publish MCP server to PyPI
/status — health check dashboard
/backup — backup production database
/hub — query the command hub (tasks, activity, decisions)
/orchestrate — dispatch tasks to the 6-department orchestra
/meeting [topic] — structured meeting with all agents (CEO + 5 depts) via claude-peers; /meeting close to finish and write tasks to briefing files
/brainstorm — generate growth/marketing/feature ideas
/weekly-stats — send stats digest to Telegram

Rules (auto-loaded from .claude/rules/)

Domain knowledge is split into focused rules files that auto-load:

Always loaded:

vision.md — product identity, positioning, revenue constraint
stack.md — tech patterns, auth, code style, route creation
deploy.md — deployment procedures, Fly.io
gotchas.md — past mistakes — CHECK THIS, it grows over time

Loaded when editing matching files:

design.md — design system, tokens, brand (routes + components)
database.md — SQLite patterns, migrations (db.py + scripts)
mcp.md — MCP server architecture, versioning (mcp_server.py + pyproject.toml)
stripe.md — payment logic, webhooks (payments.py + pricing.py)

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.
