claude-code-transcripts AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for a Python tool that publishes transcripts of Claude Code sessions. They specify its development commands and require test-driven development (TDD), meaning tests are written and made to fail before the implementation is added.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the tool, writing tests first, formatting Python code, and bundling related code, tests, and documentation in commits.
Why use it?
They provide a repeatable way to develop, test, format, and commit changes without relying on individual habits.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-transcripts AGENTS.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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Uses uv. Run tests like this:

uv run pytest

Run the development version of the tool like this:

uv run claude-code-transcripts --help

Always practice TDD: write a faliing test, watch it fail, then make it pass.

Commit early and often. Commits should bundle the test, implementation, and documentation changes together.

Run Black to format code before you commit:

uv run black .
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.
