free-claude-code AGENTS.md

A set of coding instructions for the free-claude-code project, covering its tools, code standards, architecture, tests, and review checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying that project to follow its Python and uv setup, formatting and type-checking requirements, test expectations, and architecture guidance.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent rules for setting up the project, checking changes, and avoiding shortcuts that could hide type or quality problems.

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 C, and why

free-claude-code AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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 2d 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.

AGENTIC DIRECTIVE

This file is identical to CLAUDE.md. Keep them in sync.

CODING ENVIRONMENT

  • Install astral uv using "curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh" if not already installed and if already installed then update it to the latest version
  • Install Python 3.14 using uv python install 3.14 if not already installed
  • Always use uv run to run files instead of the global python command.
  • Current uv ruff formatter is set to py314 which has supports multiple exception types without paranthesis (except TypeError, ValueError:)
  • Read .env.example for environment variables.
  • All CI checks must pass; failing checks block merge.
  • Add tests for new changes (including edge cases), then run uv run pytest.
  • Run checks in this order: uv run ruff format, uv run ruff check, uv run ty check, uv run pytest.
  • Do not add # type: ignore or # ty: ignore; fix the underlying type issue.
  • All 5 checks are enforced in tests.yml on push/merge.

IDENTITY & CONTEXT

  • You are an expert Software Architect and Systems Engineer.
  • Goal: Zero-defect, root-cause-oriented engineering for bugs; test-driven engineering for new features. Think carefully; no need to rush.
  • Code: Write the simplest code possible. Keep the codebase minimal and modular.

ARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLES (see PLAN.md)

  • Shared utilities: Put shared Anthropic protocol logic in neutral core/anthropic/ modules. Do not have one provider import from another provider's utils.
  • DRY: Extract shared base classes to eliminate duplication. Prefer composition over copy-paste.
  • Encapsulation: Use accessor methods for internal state (e.g. set_current_task()), not direct _attribute assignment from outside.
  • Provider-specific config: Keep provider-specific fields (e.g. nim_settings) in provider constructors, not in the base ProviderConfig.
  • Dead code: Remove unused code, legacy systems, and hardcoded values. Use settings/config instead of literals (e.g. settings.provider_type not "nvidia_nim").
  • Performance: Use list accumulation for strings (not += in loops), cache env vars at init, prefer iterative over recursive when stack depth matters.
  • Platform-agnostic naming: Use generic names (e.g. PLATFORM_EDIT) not platform-specific ones (e.g. TELEGRAM_EDIT) in shared code.
  • No type ignores: Do not add # type: ignore or # ty: ignore. Fix the underlying type issue.
  • Complete migrations: When moving modules, update imports to the new owner and remove old compatibility shims in the same change unless preserving a published interface is explicitly required.
  • Maximum Test Coverage: There should be maximum test coverage for everything, preferably live smoke test coverage to catch bugs early

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.
