A project instruction file for Claude Code, describing TraceBug's layout, commands, rules, and development workflow. TraceBug is a local-first bug-capture tool with a browser extension, a TypeScript software library, and a command-line tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide code changes, find relevant directories, understand build and test commands, and avoid editing generated files directly.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project context it needs before changing files. It also warns which files are generated and which project rules to follow.

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

TraceBug-ai 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.

TraceBug - project memory for Claude Code

Local-first bug-capture tool: MV3 browser extension + npm SDK + stdio MCP CLI. MIT. No backend.

Layout

  • src/ - SDK (TypeScript). Built with tsup into the extension bundle.
  • cli/ - MCP CLI entry (cli/bin.ts -> dist/bin.mjs, published as packages/tracebug/).
  • tracebug-extension/ - MV3 extension: manifest.json, background.js (service worker), content-script.js, offscreen.* (MediaRecorder), popup.*, player.*, tracebug-init.js. Packaged builds land in tracebug-extension/dist/{chrome,firefox}.
  • tracebug-extension/tracebug-sdk.js and tracebug-extension/tracebug-provider-api.js - both generated by npm run build (tsup). Never edit by hand. The second is the provider HTTP layer (src/providers/api.ts) bundled for the background service worker, which cannot import the page SDK.
  • tests/ - Vitest unit tests (e.g. tests/storage.test.ts). e2e/ - Playwright specs + .e2e.mjs scripts; benchmark at e2e/benchmark.mjs.
  • docs/ - user docs; docs/adr/ - architecture decisions (read the relevant ADR before changing architecture).
  • docs/launch/ - current launch work: STATE.md (where things stand - start here), PLAN.md (what's left), PROGRESS.md. The *-archive.md files are closed history; don't read them unless you need why.

Commands

  • All gates: node scripts/check.mjs (--full if extension files changed, --firefox at the end of a phase). One line per gate, full output only on failure. See the gates skill; don't run the npm scripts one by one.
  • Build SDK + extension bundle: npm run build (tsup; rewrites tracebug-extension/tracebug-sdk.js, then reload the unpacked extension)
  • Single test file: npx vitest run tests/storage.test.ts --reporter=dot | e2e: node e2e/<name>.e2e.mjs (run only the related suite)
  • Benchmark: node e2e/benchmark.mjs

Hard rules

  • No backend, no telemetry, no remote loads in exported .html (ADR 001, 002).
  • Zero runtime dependencies (ADR 005). MV3 only (ADR 004). MCP is stdio only (ADR 006).
  • Never add a manifest permission without asking. Removing or making optional is fine.
  • Keep storage invariants in docs/ticket-flow.md and tests/storage.test.ts: never evict saved tickets, verify writes before showing "Saved".
  • Keep Firefox 128+ working; branch on feature detection, not on user-agent strings.
  • In extension mode the SDK runs in the page's main world: page localStorage is readable by the host site. Never store secrets there.

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.
