CLAUDE.md

claude-lens CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from radumardale/claude-lens. It costs 883 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for claude-lens, a command-line and terminal interface tool that scans Claude Code configuration. It documents development commands, architecture, and major code areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a guide when developing, building, type-checking, scanning, or changing claude-lens features such as plugins, agents, and its terminal interface.
Why use it?
It helps an AI coding assistant understand how the project is organized before making changes. This reduces the risk of editing the wrong layer or using the wrong command.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is radumardale/claude-lens's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-lens 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 claude-lens 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

claude-lens 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 10d 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

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Development Commands

npm run dev           # Run CLI in development mode (tsx)
npm run build         # Compile TypeScript to dist/
npm run typecheck     # Type check without emitting

Run specific commands in dev:

npm run dev                         # Launch TUI (default)
npm run dev -- scan                 # Text summary
npm run dev -- scan --json          # Full scan as JSON
npm run dev -- disable agent foo    # Disable an agent

Architecture

Entry flow: bin/claude-lens.tssrc/cli/index.ts → routes to command or TUI

src/
├── cli/commands/     # CLI command handlers (scan, plugins, enable, disable, etc.)
├── scanner/          # Discovers components by reading Claude Code config files
├── actions/          # Enable/disable operations for each component type
├── tui/              # React/Ink interactive terminal UI
│   ├── views/        # Full-screen views (Dashboard, List, Detail, Settings)
│   ├── components/   # Reusable UI components
│   └── hooks/        # useConfig (main state), useSettings (editor prefs)
├── formatters/       # Output formatting (dashboard, table, json)
├── types/            # All TypeScript interfaces
└── utils/            # Path helpers, settings I/O, YAML parsing, editor launch

Data flow:

  1. Scanner reads Claude Code files (~/.claude/, project .claude/, .mcp.json)
  2. Returns typed data structures (Plugin[], Agent[], McpServer[], etc.)
  3. CLI formats and outputs; TUI renders with React/Ink
  4. Actions modify files/settings; scanner re-runs to refresh state

Component Types

Type Scanned From Disable Method
Plugins ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json Toggle enabledPlugins in settings.json
MCPs .mcp.json files (global, project, plugin) Registry at ~/.claude-lens/disabled-mcps.json
Agents ~/.claude/agents/*.md Rename to .md.disabled

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.
