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

limps 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.

Monorepo Structure

This is an npm workspaces monorepo with two packages:

  • packages/limps - @sudosandwich/limps - The main MCP planning server
  • packages/limps-headless - @sudosandwich/limps-headless - Headless UI extension for limps

Build and Development Commands

# Root-level commands (run across all workspaces)
npm run build          # Compile TypeScript to dist/ in all packages
npm test               # Run all tests across workspaces
npm run lint           # ESLint check across workspaces
npm run validate       # Full validation: format + lint + type-check + build + test

# Single package commands
npm run build -w packages/limps           # Build only limps
npm run test -w packages/limps            # Test only limps
npm run build -w packages/limps-headless # Build only limps-headless

# Development
npm run dev -w packages/limps             # Watch mode for limps

Running a Single Test

cd packages/limps
npx vitest run tests/path/to/file.test.ts
npx vitest run -t "test name pattern"

Architecture Overview

limps is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI agent plan management. It provides tools and resources that AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) can use to manage planning documents and tasks.

Core Components (packages/limps)

Entry Points:

  • src/cli.tsx - Pastel-based CLI entry point (main user interface)
  • src/index.ts - Direct server invocation for backwards compatibility (stdio transport)
  • src/server-main.ts - Server initialization with config loading, database setup, and file watcher
  • src/server-http.ts - HTTP daemon server using StreamableHTTPServerTransport
  • src/commands/serve.tsx - stdio-to-HTTP bridge for Claude Desktop/Cursor (uses StreamableHTTPClientTransport)

MCP Layer:

  • src/server.ts - Creates MCP server instance with @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • src/tools/index.ts - Registers 14 MCP tools (document CRUD, plan management, task status)
  • src/resources/index.ts - Registers 4 MCP resources (plans://index, plans://summary/, plans://full/, decisions://log)

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.
