Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is sergeiwallace/ai-cli-utils's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ai-cli-utils 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 ai-cli-utils 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

ai-cli-utils 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 4d 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 — 34 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

lean config

Continuous Integration

  • GitHub Actions CI is active and its results are meaningful — a red check is a code or workflow problem, not a billing block. Public repos get free unmetered standard runners. Use the local gate (ruff, pytest) as the fast pre-push signal and CI for cross-platform coverage, especially Windows, which no local Linux/macOS run provides. Read docs/procedures/github-actions-status.md before interpreting or changing CI workflows.

Public Open-Source Package Standards

This is a public open-source package. All code, docs, comments, tests, and commit messages must be written for a general audience.

  • No proprietary names — never reference ai-core, aido, or any private platform/tool names in code, docs, comments, or tests
  • No personal identifiers — no personal names (first or last), usernames, private server IPs/hostnames, or account-specific paths. Use generic placeholders: user, myproject, example.com, 192.0.2.x
  • No private project names or prefixes — don't hardcode any project names or session prefixes from personal workflow in source, docs, or tests. Use only fully generic names: myproject, myapp, session-1, test-session
  • Generic examples throughout — all session names, project names, and config values in tests/docs must be obviously placeholder. Nothing that could be mistaken for a real personal workflow artifact.
  • OS portability — all code must account for Windows, macOS, and Linux differences. No macOS-only assumptions (e.g. ~/Library/, pbcopy, open). Use sys.platform, pathlib, and os abstractions. Flag any unavoidably platform-specific code with a comment.
  • Commit messages are public — same rules apply to git commit messages
  • If you catch an existing violation while working, flag it immediately rather than letting it accumulate

CLI Conventions

  • All options must have both short and long forms — e.g. -f/--force, -d/--dry-run. No long-only flags (except hidden internal SUPPRESS flags passed machine-to-machine).
  • When adding a new CLI option, add both forms simultaneously. Do not ship long-only flags.
  • Name every command {verb}-{noun} (migrate-session, not session-migrate). A command group is a noun and its subcommands are verbs. A new command that does not fit this form is raised with the maintainer for review before it ships.

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.
