What is claude-office CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, in the Claude Office Visualizer project. They describe the project, its backend and frontend, development commands, tests, and code hooks.

Use them when installing dependencies, starting the development environment, running checks and tests, simulating events, or working on the backend, frontend, hooks, or plugin.

They give the coding assistant the project context and the commands needed to work consistently across the repository's different parts.

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	$0.00735	$0.00735
Opus 5	$0.00367	$0.00367
Sonnet 5	$0.00147	$0.00147
Haiku 4.5	$0.00073	$0.00073

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-office 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 9d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Overview

Claude Office Visualizer transforms Claude Code operations into a real-time pixel art office simulation. A "boss" character (main Claude agent) manages work, spawns "employee" agents (subagents), and orchestrates tasks visually.

See docs/architecture/ARCHITECTURE.md for system architecture and component details.

Commands

# Root
make install       # Install all dependencies
make dev-tmux      # Run in tmux (recommended) - backend :8000, frontend :3000
make dev-tmux-kill # Kill tmux session
make checkall      # Lint, typecheck, test all components
make simulate      # Run event simulation

# Component-specific (run from backend/ or frontend/)
make dev           # Start dev server
make checkall      # Check single component (faster)
uv run pytest tests/test_file.py::test_name  # Single backend test

# Hooks (cd hooks/)
./install.sh       # Install hooks
./uninstall.sh     # Remove hooks

# OpenCode Plugin (cd opencode-plugin/)
bun run build      # Build plugin
bun run typecheck  # Type check

Development Workflow

Preferred: Use make dev-tmux - creates separate windows for backend/frontend.

Read logs: tmux capture-pane -t claude-office:backend -p
Switch windows: Ctrl-b n / Ctrl-b p
Hot reload enabled on both servers

Debugging: Hook logs at ~/.claude/claude-office-hooks.log (enable with CLAUDE_OFFICE_DEBUG=1)

Project Skills

/office-sprite - Generate office furniture sprites
/character-sprite - Generate character sprite sheets
/desk-accessory - Generate tintable desk items

See .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md for details.

Workflow Guidelines

Commit after every batch of work: Always commit after completing each logical unit.

Use subagents for validation: Spawn a Bash subagent to run make checkall and commit:

"Run 'make checkall' from the project root. If successful, commit with message: '<message>'"

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.
