ideate CLAUDE.md

ideate CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from paultyng/ideate. It costs 7,298 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Developer instructions for Ideate, a macOS desktop app for tracking ideas through different stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help contributors build or modify idea tracking, terminal sessions, inter-process communication, GitHub pull-request review, and Claude CLI integration.
Why use it?
They explain how the Go backend, web interface, command-line tools, local file storage, and AI-agent integrations fit together before code is changed.

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 B, and why

ideate CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- **Agent-mediated (MCP)** — agent sessions inherit the user's `~/.claude/settings.json` MCP servers, so any tool with an MCP server is reachable from a session without Ideate-specific glue.

CLAUDE.md — Ideate

What This Is

Ideate is a desktop app (Wails: Go backend + web frontend) for tracking ideas through their lifecycle. v0.1 ships macOS-only; cross-platform (Linux/Windows, Intel) is on the roadmap. Phases are non-linear — an idea can start/end in any phase, skip phases, or only use one. See README.md for the user-facing overview.

Tech Stack

  • Go backend via Wails v2
  • React frontend in system webview (HashRouter)
  • CLI: Cobra subcommands — root launches Wails app (daemon), subcommands are IPC clients
  • IPC: Daemon/client via Connect (gRPC-compatible) over Unix domain socket. Proto-defined RPCs, buf for codegen.
  • Local filesystem storage: each idea is a subdirectory under a user-configurable ideas directory
  • Agent integration: claude CLI via creack/pty (interactive PTY sessions) + Ideate MCP server + HTTP hooks
  • Terminal rendering: xterm.js in frontend, creack/pty in Go
  • PR review: @git-diff-view for diff rendering with inline comments, gh CLI for GitHub integration

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.
