Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is s-hiraoku/vscode-sidebar-terminal's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vscode-sidebar-terminal 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 vscode-sidebar-terminal 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

vscode-sidebar-terminal 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 7d 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 — 682 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Development Flow (Mandatory)

  1. When receiving a feature request or modification, write tests first
  2. Present the tests to confirm the specification
  3. Proceed to implementation only after confirmation
  4. Adjust implementation until all tests pass

OpenSpec Instructions

These instructions are for AI assistants working in this project.

Always open @/openspec/AGENTS.md when the request:

  • Mentions planning or proposals (words like proposal, spec, change, plan)
  • Introduces new capabilities, breaking changes, architecture shifts, or big performance/security work
  • Sounds ambiguous and you need the authoritative spec before coding

Use @/openspec/AGENTS.md to learn:

  • How to create and apply change proposals
  • Spec format and conventions
  • Project structure and guidelines

Keep this managed block so 'openspec update' can refresh the instructions.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

CRITICAL: Protecting Local Changes

NEVER delete or discard uncommitted local changes without explicit user permission.

When you need to investigate build issues or test changes:

  1. ALWAYS use git stash first to save uncommitted changes
  2. After investigation, restore with git stash pop
  3. NEVER use git checkout -- . or git restore . to discard changes
  4. NEVER use git clean without explicit user confirmation

Example workflow:

# Save current changes before investigation
git stash push -m "WIP: saving before investigation"

# Do your investigation...

# Restore changes when done
git stash pop

If build issues occur, ask the user before discarding any changes.

This project has domain-specific CLAUDE.md files with detailed implementation guidance:

File Purpose
src/webview/CLAUDE.md WebView architecture, Manager patterns, debugging
src/test/CLAUDE.md TDD workflow, test patterns, quality gates

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.
