bob-control CLAUDE.md

bob-control CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from PounceAI/bob-control. It costs 629 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of project instructions for working on Bob Control, an MCP server and command-line worker that manages tasks in a SQLite database on Windows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose the correct commands for WSL or native Windows, access the task board, dispatch a queued task, and run the project build.
Why use it?
It prevents mistakes caused by running commands in the wrong environment, especially when using Linux inside Windows and the database is open by another process.

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

bob-control 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 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.

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.

Working in this repo with Claude Code

Bob Control is an MCP server + CLI + auto-dispatch worker over a SQLite task board (data/tasks.db). Bob runs on native Windows and holds the board open in WAL.

Two execution contexts

Claude Code here runs in one of two contexts. Detect which by uname / whether wslpath exists, and use the matching commands.

WSL inside Bob (common case)

The board is held open in WAL by Bob on the Windows side. WAL's shared memory can't cross the WSL/Windows boundary, so opening the board with Linux-side node fails with disk I/O error 4618 — even a read. Don't try to fix that by changing the journal mode; it can't be converted while Bob holds it, and WAL is correct for Bob.

Instead, reach the board through Windows node.exe (available via WSL interop):

  • Board ops: ./bob <create|list|show|...> — the shim routes the CLI through node.exe.
  • Make Bob execute a queued task (dispatch over Bob's IPC pipe, which only a Windows-side process can reach): node.exe "$(wslpath -w dist/worker.js)" --once.
  • Build (plain file I/O, runs fine under Linux node): npm run build.

Native Windows

No boundary, so the plain scripts work directly: node dist/cli.js ..., npm run worker, npm run build. The ./bob shim also works here (it falls back to plain node).

Quality gate

Before pushing or opening a PR, run the same checks CI enforces and make sure they're green:

npm run lint && npm run format:check && npm test

(npm run format auto-fixes formatting.) CI runs lint → format:check → build → test+coverage on Windows for Node 22 and 24; a red check blocks the merge.

PR & commit messages

Substance only: the problem, the changes, why. No process narration ("did a deslop pass", "ran two reviews", "added tests"), no validation play-by-play, no AI-attribution trailer.

Worktrees (run several in parallel)

Several worktrees of this repo can run in parallel on one shared board: one Bob window + one worker per worktree, each pinned --tag worktree:<name>, board shared via BOB_TASKS_WORKTREE_SHARED=1. Launch a per-worktree Bob with launch-bob.cmd <worktree-path>; a per-worktree lease keeps one worker per checkout. Full runbook (and the Bob-1.x-only caveat): README → Worktrees.

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.
