replen: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

replen CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from replenhq/replen. It costs 4,055 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for Replen, a service that helps developers discover software libraries, updates, security advisories, and standards relevant to their repositories. It matches these items to the technical capabilities used in each repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ingest and rank possible matches for repositories, then review candidates and create written recommendations inside a coding-agent session.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to monitor many open-source sources manually and filters suggestions according to the technologies and needs of your own projects.

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

replen 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.

What it is

Replen is a tool/library discovery service for AI coding workflows. It maps each of a user's repos to its technical capabilities (computer vision, geospatial, market-making, etc.) and watches the OSS ecosystem for things that fit — a library that fills a capability, a new release in a dependency you use, a security advisory in your stack, a standard you implement changing, an upstream going dark. The matching is the product: every candidate is scored against your capabilities, not a generic trending list. The expensive reasoning (per-candidate verdict + writeup) runs in the user's Claude Code / Codex session on their subscription tokens — the server side does only mechanical, no-LLM ingestion + ranking, so there's no per-user LLM bill and source code never leaves the user's machine.

Stack

TypeScript (ESM, Node ≥20) · Next.js 16 + React 19 (dashboard + API routes under src/app/) · Drizzle ORM over SQLite/libSQL (@libsql/client, schema + migrations in src/db/) · node-cron scheduler (src/scheduler/cron.ts, run-once.ts) · Firebase Auth (next-firebase-auth-edge) · Zod validation · cheerio (HTML scraping) · nodemailer (digest email). OpenAI text-embedding-3-small for semantic matching (src/lib/embeddings.ts); a cheap chat model only for catalogue classification (src/catalogue/classify.ts). Ships two sibling npm packages: cli/ (the npx replen onboarding one-liner) and mcp/ (@replen/mcp, a stdio MCP server exposing ~13 tools). A Claude Code skill lives in skills/replen-match/.

Niche / domain

Developer-tooling / AI-agent infrastructure: capability-based OSS discovery, semantic retrieval, and agent-in-the-loop triage. Domain vocabulary that matters: capability facets, facet vs centroid embeddings, modality gate (image/timeseries/text/… cross-modal collision suppression), eligibility filter, discovered vs scouted pools, diversity cap, discovery mode (scouted/discovered/re-checked/prune), Watchtower (no article — the maintained cross-vendor source network the lenses run on: announcement sources + pricing pages + EOL cycles + advisories — ~1,250 sources hosted; starter seeds self-hosted), the watch lenses (libraries / security / stack-releases / spec-changes / upstream-health / pricing), skill tier vs hosted tier, handoff PR, k-anonymity for the cross-user catalogue. Named surfaces (use these terms, no articles on the proper nouns): Brainstem (the matching core — facets, catalogue, learning loop; the sourcing of repos to use as-is / port / cherry-pick / clean-room build), Watchtower (the source network), Atlas (the knowledge graph + webapp; its markdown files are Tiles — never call OUR artifact a 'vault', that's Graphify/Obsidian vocabulary), Leaps, Recall, the Footnote (calm in-session line), the Brief (weekly four-questions email), the Queue.

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.
