adamas-lang: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

adamas-lang CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from skuznetsov/adamas-lang. It costs 1,030 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for working on the Adamas Crystal V2 compiler, including its language rules, documentation style, build commands, and safe test procedure. A compiler turns source code into a runnable program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing the compiler, writing project documentation, building it, running compiled test programs safely, or investigating crashes.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk of unsafe test runs, inconsistent project communication, accidental standard-library changes, and incorrect build or debugging steps.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is skuznetsov/adamas-lang's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on adamas-lang 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 adamas-lang 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

adamas-lang 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.

Crystal V2 Compiler - Project Instructions

Language & documentation

  • Repository (code comments, markdown docs, commit messages in this project): write in English.
  • Chat with the project owner: prefer Russian unless they switch language.

Safe Testing Protocol

  • ALWAYS run test binaries via scripts/run_safe.sh <binary> <timeout> <max_mem_mb>
  • NEVER run test binaries directly — they can exhaust FDs/memory and freeze the machine
  • Default: scripts/run_safe.sh /tmp/test_hello 5 512 (5s timeout, 512MB limit)
  • The script monitors FD count and RSS; kills process if FD > 1000 or memory > limit

Build & Run

crystal build src/adamas.cr -o bin/adamas --error-trace   # build compiler
bin/adamas /tmp/test_hello.cr                                  # compile test
scripts/run_safe.sh /tmp/test_hello 5 512                          # run safely
  • Debug crash: lldb --batch -o 'run' -k 'bt 30' -k 'quit' /tmp/test_hello
  • Eager HIR (debug): ADAMAS_EAGER_HIR=1 bin/adamas ...

Critical Rules

  • NEVER modify stdlib files — must be 100% compatible with original Crystal stdlib at ../crystal/src
  • When in doubt, always check original Crystal compiler code at ../crystal/src
  • Original Crystal compiler: ../crystal/src/compiler/crystal/codegen/
  • Prefer zero-copy memory patterns to reduce GC pressure, bound memory use, and speed up the compiler.
  • Clean up temporary artifacts (/tmp/, ./tmp/, ~/Projects/Crystal/.codex_artifacts/) when no longer needed; commit working features and fixes when ready.
  • When you find a bug, add a regression script to reproduce it — it pays off quickly.
  • For fast debug iterations, prefer no-prelude oracles: easier to inspect .ll, .hir, and .mir.
  • Keep TODO.md updated when shipping meaningful changes.
  • Many bugs trace back to incorrect arena lifetime / tracking — verify arenas first.

Grok ACP Sidecar

  • Use Grok via ~/.grok/bin as a cheap read-only sidecar for non-trivial root-cause work.
  • Give Grok narrow bounded questions with exact files, logs, anchors, and required output shape; do not ask it to make edits.
  • Treat Grok output as candidate evidence only. Verify locally before adopting any claim.
  • Record useful and failed Grok interactions in grok_acp_beta_report.md so the beta-test signal survives context resets.
  • Prefer Grok for parallel audits such as "classify this missing-demand family", "find all call paths to this enqueue site", or "review this proposed root-cause hypothesis".
  • Do not wait on Grok when the next local falsifier is obvious; continue local work and integrate Grok only if it returns actionable evidence.

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.
