jonggrang: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

jonggrang CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from porcupine-md/jonggrang. It costs 2,108 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for AI agents working on Jonggrang, a command-line tool that organizes software work into planning, coding, simplification, testing, and review. It also documents the project’s commands, structure, and development rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an AI agent is changing Jonggrang, running its development commands, or working with its workflow modes, hooks, templates, and agent backends.
Why use it?
It gives agents the context needed to work safely in the repository and requires documentation to be updated when the code changes. This reduces forgotten project rules and outdated instructions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is porcupine-md/jonggrang's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on jonggrang 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 jonggrang 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

jonggrang 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.

CLAUDE.md — Project Guide for AI Agents

Guide for any AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Jonggrang) working in this repo. AGENTS.md is a symlink to this file — both point to the same source.


What Jonggrang Is

Jonggrang is a CLI orchestrator for AI development workflows. It runs the pipeline Plan → Implement → Simplify → Test → Review with one atomic task per fresh-context agent, enforced by hooks (secrets blocker, context overload guard, quality gate). The goal is not to make agents faster — they are already fast enough — but to force them to stop and clean up before complexity quietly accumulates.

Two primary modes:

  • Work Loop — iterative, stateless, one agent per task. Good for small-to-medium features.
  • Orchestrate Mode — deterministic 16-phase, 5 specialist agents, persistent state via MANIFEST.yaml. For serious delivery.

Agent backends: opencode, claude, codex, jonggrang (Pi SDK in-process). Selected via .jonggrang/jonggrang.json.

Entry points: bin/jonggrang (CLI), client/ (Pi TUI), server.js (web dashboard). Hooks live in hooks/, skills in skills/, templates in templates/.

Read These When You Need Context

Two docs are the canonical source of truth for the project's intent. Read them before any non-trivial change — do not infer architecture from code alone:

  • docs/PHILOSOPHY.md — Why Jonggrang exists, the pipeline as a quality gate, the five-layer stack, hook layers, autonomy modes, project file structure. Read this when:
    • You are touching the pipeline (Plan → Implement → Simplify → Test → Review), any hook in hooks/, the compaction gate, or the feedback loop.
    • You are unsure why a constraint exists (e.g., why coordinators cannot edit files, why exit is blocked until tests pass).
    • You are tempted to "simplify" something that looks redundant — it is probably load-bearing.

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.
