kart-royale: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

kart-royale CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ryancampbell/kart-royale. It costs 2,881 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project handover guide for working on Kart Royale, a Three.js kart-racing game whose visual assets are generated in code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading the project and art direction, following its development commands, respecting shared interfaces, and verifying builds and visual changes.
Why use it?
It records the project's rules, known pitfalls, and required checks so changes can be made without breaking established behavior.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is ryancampbell/kart-royale's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kart-royale 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 kart-royale configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/ryan/dev/personal/kart-game.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to ryancampbell/kart-royale. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

kart-royale 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Working on this repo

A kart racer in Three.js with zero art assets — every texture, mesh, material and sound is generated in code at load time. Written almost entirely by Claude agents working in parallel. This file is the handover note: the contract to code against, the traps that have already cost real rounds, and how to tell whether a change actually helped.

Read README.md for what the project is, and ART_DIRECTION.md for what it is supposed to look like — §9 of that file is the scoring rubric, and it is the bar.

Commands

npm run dev      # vite dev server
npm run build    # tsc --noEmit && vite build  — this is the gate, it must pass
npm run preview  # serve the production build

Never start a bare npx vite for a test harness. Use tools/vite-server.mjs, which spawns the binary directly, kills the whole process group on teardown, and refuses to adopt a server that is already serving a different working tree. An orphaned dev server from a worktree once silently served stale code into every measurement for a full round.

The contract

src/types.ts is the interface every subsystem codes against — ITrack, IKart, IItems, IRace, IInput, Ctx, Surface, SURFACE_PROPS.

Do not edit src/types.ts as a side effect of another change. It is what makes parallel work possible; changing it invalidates everyone else's assumptions at once. If a change genuinely needs the contract widened, do that as its own commit and say so.

Rough ownership, one concern per directory:

path what lives there
src/render/ renderer, post chain, procedural textures/materials, sky
src/world/ track layout + geometry, scenery, foliage, water
src/kart/ chassis, suspension, tyres, model, liveries
src/game/ race state, AI, camera, items, projectiles
src/fx/ particles, trails, decals
src/ui/ HUD, menus, minimap
src/audio/ synthesis, music, engine
src/core/ input, settings, diagnostics, prewarm, event bus

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.
