flog: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

flog CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from shaominngqing/flog. It costs 4,998 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of flog AGENTS.md, MIT.

Repository instructions for Claude Code working on the Rust project flog. They explain the project structure, design boundaries, build and test commands, and which documentation to read before making changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying flog, especially for locating modules, understanding its data protocol, following contribution and coding rules, and running the right checks.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk of changing the wrong part of the code or breaking rules that keep the user interface separate from the rest of the application.

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

This is shaominngqing/flog's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on flog 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 flog configures โ†’

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

flog CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to flog AGENTS.md โ€” 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

CLAUDE.md

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

Before non-trivial changes, read docs/ARCHITECTURE.md first, then docs/MODULES.md to locate the right file, and docs/PROTOCOL.md for wire-format detail. Process rules live in docs/CONTRIBUTING.md; code-style rules in docs/CODING_STYLE.md; UI framework boundaries in docs/UI_FRAMEWORK_BOUNDARY.md.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Design rules that outlive the codebase

These rules guard against regressions that would make future work (including a planned GUI frontend) expensive. They apply to every commit, human or AI:

  1. UI layer only reads App, never writes business state. Renderers may only write LayoutCache. Business mutations belong to event/apply.rs or App methods.
  2. domain/ parser/ input/ transport/ app/ must NEVER use ratatui / use crossterm / any UI framework. This is the UI-agnostic core; it must stay portable to a future GUI. event/ may depend on exactly one input framework (currently crossterm), but must translate framework signals to neutral ClickRegion / (future) KeyAction enums before they reach App mutations.
  3. Input events must go through the two-phase detect/apply pattern. detect_click_region(&App, x, y) -> Option<ClickRegion> is pure and testable. apply_click_region(&mut App, region, class) performs mutations. Never interleave the two. See Phase 3 Step 3.6.
  4. New state must be derivable by pure functions without assuming a TUI cell grid. If your state requires a Frame or Rect to make sense, it belongs in ui/ or LayoutCache (R5 of UI_FRAMEWORK_BOUNDARY.md), not in App.
  5. File size budget is a signal, not a law. Under 500 lines is default. 500-800 yellow (document the reason). Over 800 red (must split). Test files (*_tests.rs sibling pattern) are exempt. Per CONTRIBUTING.md ยง5.5.
  6. Every B-class bug gets a red-locked characterization test. #[ignore = "bug: <audit-id>"] test lands first; un-ignore in the same commit as the fix. No shadow TODOs, no silent fixes.

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.
