Knot CLAUDE.md

Knot CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from ProjAnvil/Knot. It costs 1,921 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Knot, an API documentation system with an Svelte frontend, Go backend, and separate Go MCP server for AI integration. They describe the project layout and common development commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on Knot's frontend, backend, or MCP server, including starting development servers and creating production builds.
Why use it?
They give a coding agent the repository context and the correct commands for installing dependencies, developing, building, and running each part.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

Knot 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 3d 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.

Project Overview

Knot is an API documentation management system with Model Context Protocol (MCP) support. It features a Svelte 5 frontend and Go backend, supports multiple databases (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL), and includes standalone CLI tools for both backend and MCP server management.

The project is structured as three independent components:

  • frontend/: Svelte 5 application (manages its own dependencies with bun/npm)
  • backend/: Go backend server
  • mcp-server/: Go MCP server for AI integration

Essential Commands

Frontend Development (Svelte 5 + Vite)

cd frontend
bun install              # Install dependencies
bun dev                  # Start dev server on port 5173 with hot reload
bun run build            # Build for production to dist/

Backend Development (Go + Chi + GORM)

cd backend
go mod download          # Download Go dependencies
make build               # Build binary to bin/knot-server
./bin/knot-server        # Run server on port 3000

# Development with auto-reload (using air)
air

# Build for all platforms
make build-all           # Outputs to dist/
make package-all         # Create distribution packages

MCP Server Development (Go)

cd mcp-server
go mod download          # Download Go dependencies
make build               # Build binary to bin/knot-mcp
./bin/knot-mcp          # Run MCP server

# Build for all platforms
make build-all           # Outputs to dist/

CLI Tool (knot)

The backend includes a CLI tool for server management:

cd backend
./bin/knot setup         # Initialize config at ~/.knot/config.json
./bin/knot start         # Start server in background
./bin/knot stop          # Stop running server
./bin/knot status        # Check server status and PID

Architecture

Database Layer

  • ORM: GORM (Go ORM) with multi-database support
  • Schema: Defined in backend/internal/models/
    • Group: API groupings
    • API: API endpoints (references groups)
    • Parameter: Request/response parameters with nested support (self-referencing for object/array types)
  • Migrations: Auto-migration via GORM's AutoMigrate on startup
  • Database Support: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL with runtime switching

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.

Knot CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ProjAnvil/Knot (2 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,921 tokens to every session, about $0.0096 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
