ccx-context-system: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ccx-context-system CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from shck-dev/ccx-context-system. It costs 1,059 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for the ccx Claude Code plugin, which keeps per-thread project notes in STATE.md files and builds an INDEX.md dashboard from them. It also documents the plugin's commands, architecture, tests, and installation workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, validating, or updating the ccx context-management plugin and its scratch notes.
Why use it?
It explains how the plugin preserves useful context between coding sessions and how to validate or refresh it. That reduces the need to reconstruct project history from memory.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is shck-dev/ccx-context-system's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ccx-context-system 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 ccx-context-system configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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

ccx-context-system 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.

CLAUDE.md

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

What this is

A Claude Code plugin marketplace repo whose single plugin, ccx (plugins/ccx/), provides scratch-notebook context management for any project: per-thread STATE.md handoff docs under .scratch/<thread>/, plus a compiled INDEX.md dashboard. Everything (scripts, hooks, tests) runs under bun, regardless of the host project's language.

Commands

  • Tests: bun tests/run-tests.ts — single-file scenario harness (no test framework; ok() assertions, exits non-zero on failure). It builds fresh fixture projects in a tmpdir each run (a fake Go project on stock config + a custom-config project) and exercises every script and the backlink hook. There is no per-test runner; run the whole file.
  • Validate plugin structure: claude plugin validate ./plugins/ccx (and claude plugin validate . for the marketplace).
  • Try changes live in one session: claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/ccx.
  • Refresh an installed copy after edits: /plugin marketplace update ccx-context-system (or restart the session).

Architecture

Three layers, all under plugins/ccx/:

  1. Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md) — start-thread, save-state, tidy-scratch. Markdown with frontmatter; they inject live data at load time via !`bun "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/<x>.ts"` preamble commands, then instruct the model. Skills never re-implement logic that scripts own (e.g. slugging goes through slug.ts).
  2. Scripts (scripts/*.ts) — deterministic bun CLIs the skills call: where.ts (resolved context), threads.ts / orphans.ts / scan.ts (read-only scans), slug.ts, compile-index.ts (the INDEX compiler).
  3. Hooks (hooks/hooks.json → scripts) — four: backlink-scratch-notes.ts (PostToolUse on Write: prepends a [[STATE]] wikilink to new unlinked scratch notes); auto-compile-index.ts (PostToolUse on Write|Edit: a STATE-doc write kicks a detached, .pending-debounced INDEX recompile — the INDEX saves itself); record-session-thread.ts (UserPromptExpansion on start-thread: records {display, slug, source, ts} to <scratch_root>/.sessions/<session_id>.json); state-freshness-guard.ts (Stop: work newer than the associated thread's STATE → block the stop once with "persist Status/summary first"; GRACE 10 min · THROTTLE 30 min · stop_hook_active-safe · SKIP_STATE_GUARD=1 escape). Hooks read the tool-call JSON from stdin and fail open — any parse error or unexpected input → exit 0; a hook must never crash the session — and stay silent on the pass path.

Changes

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.
