ductor: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ductor CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex from PleasePrompto/ductor. It costs 1,808 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of ductor AGENTS.md, MIT.

Project instructions for ductor, a Python chat orchestrator that connects messaging services such as Telegram, Matrix, and Slack to provider command-line tools. They document setup, runtime flow, tests, and code-quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up ductor, running its tests and linters, tracing message delivery, and modifying its bots, WebSocket API, orchestration, or provider integrations.
Why use it?
They give coding agents a reliable map of how messages travel through the application. This reduces the risk of changing the wrong transport, service, or state-handling layer.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Codex and Claude Code: reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME, but also the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is PleasePrompto/ductor's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on ductor itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ductor configures →

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

ductor 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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to ductor AGENTS.md — 15 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Project Overview

ductor is a multi-transport chat orchestrator for the official provider CLIs (claude, codex, gemini, agy, grok). It runs Telegram, Matrix and/or Slack, can expose an optional direct WebSocket API, keeps state under ~/.ductor, and supervises the main agent plus optional sub-agents in one asyncio process.

Stack:

  • Python 3.11+
  • aiogram 3.x (Telegram)
  • matrix-nio (Matrix, optional extra)
  • slack-bolt (Slack, optional extra)
  • aiohttp (webhook server, internal API, optional direct API)
  • Pydantic 2.x
  • asyncio

Development Commands

# Setup
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run
ductor
ductor -v

# Tests
pytest
pytest -k "pattern"

# Quality
ruff format .
ruff check .
mypy ductor_bot

Runtime Flow

Telegram:
  Update -> AuthMiddleware -> SequentialMiddleware -> TelegramBot
  -> Orchestrator -> CLIService -> provider subprocess -> Telegram delivery

Matrix:
  sync event -> MatrixBot auth/room checks -> Orchestrator
  -> CLIService -> provider subprocess -> Matrix delivery

API (optional):
  /ws auth (token + e2e_pk + optional chat_id/channel_id)
  -> encrypted frames -> Orchestrator streaming -> encrypted result events

Background and async delivery:

Observer / TaskHub / InterAgentBus callback
  -> bus.adapters -> Envelope -> MessageBus
  -> optional shared lock + optional session injection
  -> registered transport adapters (TelegramTransport / MatrixTransport)

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.
