scout-plugin: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

scout-plugin CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Raven-Scout/scout-plugin. It costs 721 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Scout, a Python engine and plugin that works with personal information stores. They require test data to be anonymized because the related repositories are public.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing fixtures and inline test cases while preserving the formatting patterns the parser needs. It also defines safe placeholder values for people, projects, repositories, and chat workspaces.
Why use it?
They prevent real names, companies, links, and workspace details from being accidentally published in tests or example data.

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

scout-plugin 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 1mo 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 notes for AI agents in this repo (the Python Scout engine/plugin).

Fixtures must be anonymized — this repo and its two siblings are public

Scout runs against a real person's vault, so anything lifted from it into a fixture or an inline test string must be scrubbed before it lands. All three Scout repos — this one, Scout (desktop), and scout-iOS-app — are public.

  • No real identifiers. Strip company/product names, real coworker names, real Linear IDs, GitHub repos, and Slack workspaces/channels. Use the shared stand-ins so fixtures stay internally consistent:
    • People: Alex / Priya / Sam; comment author alex.
    • Linear: PROJ-1234 (neutral prefixes like OPS-, DESK- for variety) — never the real team prefixes (AI-, KAI-, ST-, …).
    • GitHub: example-org/<repo>.
    • Slack: acme-co.slack.com/archives/C0123456789/p1700000000000000.
    • Vendors/products: a generic noun, not the brand.
  • Anonymize content, not structure. Keep the tokens the parser is tested on (synthetic [#TAG] prefixes, **bold**, _(italic)_, [[wikilinks]], — separators, `code`). Only swap the words around them.
  • Don't hardcode personal config in source. The Linear deep-link workspace is read from SCOUT_LINEAR_WORKSPACE (default your-workspace), not baked in; keep new connector/workspace specifics config- or env-driven the same way.
  • Preserve legitimate attribution — NOT leaks, leave them: pyproject authors, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json / plugin.json owner, LICENSE, and the project's own github.com/<org>/… URLs (including the self-update URL).

parser-corpus.json is ONE byte-identical file living in three repos

engine/tests/fixtures/contract/parser-corpus.json is the canonical copy; Scout (desktop) and scout-iOS-app vendor byte-identical copies, checksum-guarded on both the Python and Swift sides — so you cannot edit just one copy. On any change (anonymizing counts):

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.
