What is claude-code-js CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for a TypeScript SDK that wraps the Claude Code command-line tool. They document how the project is built, tested, checked, formatted, and published.

Building with npm, running Vitest tests, checking coverage, linting, type-checking, formatting TypeScript, and preparing a package for publishing.

They give a coding agent the commands and project structure needed to work consistently in the repository.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00601	$0.00601
Opus 5	$0.00300	$0.00300
Sonnet 5	$0.00120	$0.00120
Haiku 4.5	$0.00060	$0.00060

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-js 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 5d 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.

Common Development Commands

Build and Development

npm run build - Build the TypeScript project to dist/
npm run dev - Watch mode for development (rebuilds on file changes)
npm run clean - Remove the dist/ directory

Testing

npm test - Run all tests using Vitest
npm test -- tests/claude-code.test.ts - Run a specific test file
npm test -- --coverage - Run tests with coverage report

Code Quality

npm run lint - Run ESLint on all TypeScript files
npm run typecheck - Run TypeScript type checking without emitting files
npm run format - Format code using Prettier

Publishing

npm run prepublishOnly - Automatically runs clean and build before publishing

Architecture Overview

This is a TypeScript SDK wrapper for the claude-code CLI. The architecture follows a clean separation of concerns:

Core Components

ClaudeCode Class (src/claude-code.ts): Main entry point that wraps the claude CLI
- Handles command construction with proper JSON output format
- Manages API key, model, and working directory options
- Provides methods: chat(), newSession(), version()
- Uses execa for process execution
Session Class (src/session.ts): Manages multi-turn conversations
- Tracks session IDs and message history
- Maintains conversation context across multiple prompts
- Automatically resumes the last session ID when continuing conversations
Command Utilities (src/commands.ts): Low-level process execution
- executeCommand() - Executes commands and returns full output
- streamCommand() - Provides real-time streaming of command output
- Both use execa under the hood for robust process management
Type Definitions (src/types.ts): TypeScript interfaces for type safety
- Defines all request/response shapes
- Provides proper typing for options, messages, and errors

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.
