Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is riwsky/iosef's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on iosef 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 iosef 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

iosef 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.

Work guidelines

Use local checkout for researching other repositories: You will, reasonably, often want to compare approaches against joshuayoes/ios-simulator-mcp or facebook/idb. Do NOT compare by browsing raw.githubcontent or the github web interface - instead, clone the repos locally. Another useful source of comparison is ldomaradzki/xctree.

Test against the playground apps: the repo also includes two playground apps (one iOS, one watchOS); changes should generally be validated against one or both of those.

Keep references updated: the following locations are pretty cross-cutting, and should be reviewed (especially after changes to the interface) in case they need updating: [ ] The guidance in skills/ios-simulator-interaction [ ] The benchmarking in scripts/benchmark.py [ ] The documentation in the README.md [ ] Playground Xcode projects: the .xcodeprojs are generated by XcodeGen from MCPTestApp/project.yml and WatchTestApp/project.yml (and are gitignored — treat them as build artifacts). Sources are globbed from the app folder, so adding/renaming/removing a .swift file needs no project edits: just run xcodegen generate in the app dir (or scripts/build-test-app.sh, which regenerates automatically). Install the generator once with brew install xcodegen. Edit project.yml only to change build settings, deployment target, or schemes.

Scripts for frequent commands: ls the scripts directory to see commands for building and benchmarking. Consider adding more if you find yourself running any commands pretty often.

Changes

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.
