claude-setup: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-setup CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from RohitBind123/claude-setup. It costs 2,322 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of working instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. It defines a development process that includes research, planning, test-driven development (writing tests before code), performance checks, reviews, and migration safety.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide feature development from research and planning through tests, implementation, code review, content review, and build verification. It also sets rules for asynchronous operations and database changes.
Why use it?
It gives the coding assistant a consistent process for building and reviewing software. The rules address common problems such as slow database access, unsafe data migrations, missing values, and unclear user-facing labels.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is RohitBind123/claude-setup's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-setup 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-setup 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-setup 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 2mo 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.

Global Claude Code Instructions

You have the Everything Claude Code (ECC) system installed globally. Use it.

Workflow: Always Follow This Order

  1. Research First — Search for existing solutions, patterns, and implementations before writing code
  2. Plan First — Use /plan or the planner agent for any non-trivial feature
  3. TDD — Use /tdd or tdd-guide agent. Write tests first, then implement
  4. Perf by Default — Apply production-performance rules as you code (see Rules section). Never write sequential independent queries, N+1 patterns, or uncached stable data
  5. Data Quality by Default — Missing values are never rendered as 0. Internal enum keys never reach users. See rules/common/data-quality.md
  6. Async State Safety by Default — Mutations fire BEFORE UI transitions. Long-running flows support resume. See rules/common/async-state-safety.md
  7. Migration Safety by Default — Pre-migration audit, dedup before unique index, backfill scripts for new denormalized columns. See rules/common/migration-safety.md
  8. Code Review — Use /code-review or code-reviewer agent after writing code
  9. Content Quality Review — Use content-quality-reviewer agent before any user-facing launch
  10. Verify — Use /verify before committing

Production from Day 1

The five rule files below are non-negotiable for any new project. Apply them from the first commit, not as a post-launch cleanup. Each file was extracted from real session learnings where the reverse order cost days of rework.

Rule File What it prevents
rules/common/production-performance.md Sequential queries, N+1, missing cache, unsized pools
rules/common/data-quality.md Misleading zeros, internal fields in UI, silent fallthrough
rules/common/async-state-safety.md Race conditions, lost state on navigation, polling over SSE
rules/common/migration-safety.md Failed migrations, duplicate rows, blocking ALTER TABLEs
rules/typescript/production-performance.md No-persistence React Query, broad invalidations, inline JSX functions

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.
