context-snipe: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

context-snipe CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from RP-Digital-Innovations/context-snipe. It costs 2,052 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding instructions documenting Context Snipe, a Windows app that gives AI coding tools screen information and project security findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on Context Snipe's screen capture, OCR, MCP connections, dependency scanning, or related repositories.
Why use it?
It gives developers and AI tools a shared map of the product and its supporting repositories instead of leaving their roles unclear.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: positional $N argument.

This is RP-Digital-Innovations/context-snipe's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on context-snipe 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 context-snipe 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

context-snipe 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 9d 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.

Context Snipe — Master Reference

Read this before touching anything. AI tools have built pieces of this across multiple repos without leaving a map. This is the map.


What Context Snipe actually is

A Windows desktop app (and supporting tools) that gives AI coding tools real information about the developer's screen and project dependencies — so the AI stops giving useless generic advice.

Two main features:

  1. Screen capture — press Ctrl+Shift+X and the app grabs a screenshot of whatever window you're in, runs OCR on it, and makes that available to your AI coding tool (Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed) via MCP.
  2. Dependency/CVE scanning — reads your lockfiles and tells your AI which known security vulnerabilities actually affect your project.

Business model: Free (screen capture only) / Pro $9/mo / Security $29/mo.


The 4 repos and what each one does

1. context-snipe-v2 (PRIVATE) — the actual product

This is the main thing. Everything else supports it.

A Tauri 2 desktop app that runs as a background tray icon.

  • On first boot: automatically writes itself into the MCP config files of Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Zed so the AI tools can talk to it.
  • When the user presses Ctrl+Shift+X: captures the active window via DXGI (Windows GPU direct), runs OCR via Tesseract to extract text from the image, saves the result to a temp file.
  • When an AI tool asks for context: the MCP server reads that temp file and returns the screenshot + OCR text to the AI.
  • Also includes dependency scanning (reads lockfiles) and CVE checking.

Key files in src-tauri/src/:

  • lib.rs — app startup, tray icon, global shortcut, daemon mode
  • capture.rs — screen capture + OCR logic
  • ide_registrar.rs — writes the MCP config into IDE folders on first boot
  • mcp_server.rs — the MCP JSON-RPC server (runs when invoked with --mcp)
  • mcp_firewall.rs — routes the capture result to the MCP layer

State as of June 2026: The code compiles (old error.txt files in the repo are from earlier debugging, the current code has those fixes). Releases v0.1.0 through v0.1.2 exist in context-snipe-releases.

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.
