agent-intern: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agent-intern CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from SinanTufekci/agent-intern. It costs 1,497 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project-specific instructions for an AI coding assistant working on the agent-intern repository. It records commands, coding rules, testing guidance, and known traps for that project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing agent-intern, a Python server that runs other coding command-line tools as helper agents. It is especially relevant for running checks and distinguishing offline tests from live tests.
Why use it?
It helps the assistant follow the repository's local conventions instead of guessing how to install, test, format, or run the code.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is SinanTufekci/agent-intern's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-intern 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 agent-intern 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

agent-intern 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 14d 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.

agent-intern is a stdio MCP server (FastMCP, Python 3.10+) that runs other coding CLIs headless as sub-agents: agy, codex, copilot, cursor-agent and opencode, plus grok, kimi and muse (experimental, never answered by a real model). Users run it from PyPI as uvx agent-intern.

Commands

pip install -e ".[dev]"     # what CI runs; a uv-made .venv has no pip: uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
ruff check .                # CI gate
ruff format --check .       # CI gate; tree is clean. Format only the files you touched
pytest -q                   # offline suite, ~930 tests in ~30 s, fake CLIs, no quota spent
pytest test_server.py::test_every_runtime_module_is_listed_in_py_modules   # one test
python server.py            # the server on stdio (the `agent-intern` script is the same)
python test_smoke.py        # LIVE: real agy calls on your own quota; never pass it to pytest

A bare pytest collects the same files CI names in .github/workflows/ci.yml, because conftest.py ignores test_smoke.py. CI lists them one by one, so a new test_*.py has to be added there (and to the command in CONTRIBUTING.md) or CI never runs it.

Rules

Fetch before you start. Local main can lag origin/main: releases are sometimes cut from another checkout (0.32.1 was). Run git fetch origin and git log --oneline main..origin/main first, and branch from origin/main.

The server must keep working in both Claude Code and Antigravity. Both host the same stdio server. plugin/ and .claude-plugin/ (the slash-command skills) are a Claude Code-only extra; nothing the server does may depend on them. SERVER_INSTRUCTIONS and the tool descriptions speak to "the host model" and must not assume Claude is the caller. Unit tests cannot show host compatibility: a change to tool names, signatures, instructions or startup needs a live load in both hosts 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.
