What is cloclo CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for cloclo, an open-source command-line coding agent that can use different AI providers. They describe its source modules, generated build file, memory features, tools, and testing workflow.

Use them when modifying cloclo, rebuilding its bundled Node.js command-line program, working on its agent features, or running its tests and checks.

They prevent edits from being lost by directing changes to the source files instead of the generated single-file runtime. They also provide the project conventions needed to build and test it correctly.

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 5.1	$0.01973	$0.01973
Opus 5.5	$0.00789	$0.00789
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00395	$0.00395
Haiku 4.5	$0.00197	$0.00197

Security

Grade A, and why

cloclo 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.

cloclo (claude-native) — Project Conventions

Architecture

CRITICAL: claude-native.mjs is a BUILD OUTPUT. NEVER edit it directly. All source code lives in src/ (21 modules). Edit there, then run node build.mjs to regenerate claude-native.mjs. Any direct edit to claude-native.mjs will be lost on next build.

Source modules in src/ (dependency order): utils.mjs → config.mjs → providers.mjs → auth.mjs → security-rules.mjs → security.mjs → browser.mjs → tools.mjs → lsp.mjs → auto-memory.mjs → memory-metrics.mjs → memory-dream.mjs → audit.mjs → teams.mjs → sandbox.mjs → context-refs.mjs → smart-routing.mjs → skill-metrics.mjs (optional) → agent-metrics.mjs (optional) → aicl.mjs (optional) → cron.mjs → engine.mjs → session.mjs → index.mjs

Ink UI in ink-ui.mjs (runtime deps: ink, ink-select-input, ink-text-input, react). NDJSON bridge in claude-tool-loop.js (~943 lines, supports stream and mcp modes). gstack/ is a vendored skill/tool framework sub-project.

npm package: cloclo (v1.0.1). Binary: cloclo. Shipped files: claude-native.mjs, ink-ui.mjs, README.md, ROADMAP.md.

Testing & Build Workflow

node build.mjs              # Rebuild claude-native.mjs from src/
npm test                     # test-suite.mjs && test-loop.js && test-mcp.js
node test-suite.mjs          # Unit tests only (1542+ assertions)
node test-suite.mjs --e2e    # + live API calls (needs keys)
node test-suite.mjs --verbose # Verbose on failures

Baseline: git stash && node test-suite.mjs → 1453 passed, 0 failed, 13 skipped. Working tree has ~89 additional passing tests and 53 tests for unimplemented features (skill-metrics wiring, nudge system, CLI -p validation). These are test-ahead-of-implementation, not regressions.

After any code change: always node build.mjs then npm test (or at least node test-suite.mjs).

Test Patterns

Unit tests: Extract functions via extractBlock(), eval in isolated namespace. Beware: extractBlock counts braces — destructured default params like { type, since } = {} will break extraction. Use opts param + opts?.type instead.
E2E tests: runCLI(args, envOverrides, timeout) — spawns child process, captures stdout/stderr/exitCode.
Add new test sections before the // SUMMARY block (~line 7099) in test-suite.mjs.

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.
