What is caruso AGENTS.md?

A set of development instructions for Caruso, a Ruby command-line tool that converts guidance from Claude Code marketplaces into formats such as Cursor rules. It identifies official documentation as the source of truth and lists build, installation, and testing commands.

Use it when developing, testing, building, installing, or verifying the Caruso Ruby gem and its conversions between coding-assistant formats.

It gives contributors a shared understanding of the project's purpose and the documentation and commands to follow when changing it.

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	$0.02820	$0.02820
Opus 5.5	$0.01128	$0.01128
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00564	$0.00564
Haiku 4.5	$0.00282	$0.00282

Security

Grade A, and why

caruso AGENTS.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 — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

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

Mission

Caruso is a Ruby gem CLI that bridges the gap between AI coding assistants. It fetches "steering documentation" (commands, agents, skills) from Claude Code Marketplaces and converts them to formats compatible with other IDEs, currently Cursor.

Source of Truth: Official Documentation

IMPORTANT: The authoritative sources for Claude Code and Cursor specifications are the official docs. Reference links are in /Users/philipp/code/caruso/reference/:

claude_code.md - Links to official Claude Code docs (hooks, plugins, marketplaces, skills)
cursor.md - Links to official Cursor docs (hooks, modes, rules, commands)

When implementing features or fixing bugs, always fetch the latest docs from these official URLs. If the implementation conflicts with the official docs, the docs are correct and the code should be updated to match.

Development Commands

Build and Install

# Build the gem
gem build caruso.gemspec

# Install locally
gem install caruso-*.gem

# Verify installation
caruso version

Testing

# Run offline tests only (default)
bundle exec rake spec
# or
bundle exec rspec

# Run all tests including live marketplace integration
bundle exec rake spec:all
# or
RUN_LIVE_TESTS=1 bundle exec rspec

# Run only live tests
bundle exec rake spec:live

# Run specific test file
bundle exec rspec spec/integration/plugin_spec.rb

# Run specific test
bundle exec rspec spec/integration/plugin_spec.rb:42

Important: Live tests (tagged with :live) interact with real marketplaces (anthropics/skills) and require network access. They can be slow (~7 minutes). Marketplace cache is stored in ~/.caruso/marketplaces/. Integration tests set CARUSO_TESTING_SKIP_CLONE=true to skip Git cloning for fast offline testing.

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.
