CLAUDE.md

mnela CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from SmartDogg/mnela. It costs 3,014 tokens per session, scanned D, original, MIT.

A repository-specific instruction guide for working on the Mnela application. It documents the system's services, architecture, deployment and development paths, project suggestions, and AI call routing.

In plain words

Understanding Mnela's API, workers, orchestrator, MCP service, Telegram bot, configuration, projects, and related development conventions.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the context and rules needed to work consistently in this particular codebase.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is SmartDogg/mnela's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mnela 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 mnela 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 D, and why

mnela CLAUDE.md scanned grade D with 3 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Mnela — developer guide for Claude Code

This file is read by Claude Code when working inside the Mnela repo. The Server-Brain instruction template that the runtime Claude subprocess uses lives at infra/claude/CLAUDE.md.template — DO NOT confuse the two.

Architecture overview

  • apps/api — NestJS HTTP API. /search/ask SSE stream, /admin/* panels, /system/config typed registry, /admin/providers LLM CRUD, /projects (incl. suggestions + preview + dismiss).
  • apps/orchestrator — NestJS process running BullMQ consumers: enrichment, project-context, vision (analyze_attachment), claude-status boot, and the new projects consumer (project_suggest debounced post-enrichment + project_autofill). See ADR-0051.
  • apps/worker — ingestion worker (parsers, attachment promotion).
  • apps/mcp — HTTP MCP transport for external tools.
  • apps/tg-bot — Telegram bot frontend over /search/ask + /documents/upload. Single-tenant: one TelegramBot singleton row + TelegramAllowedUser whitelist. Configured under /admin/system → Telegram; hot-reloaded via mnela:events telegram:reload channel. grammY + Bot API 9.5 sendMessageDraft streaming. Multi-modal turn bundling (debounce telegram.bundleWindowMs) merges voice + photo + text into one /ask call. See ADR-0053.
  • apps/web — Next.js 15 UI. v1 menu has three sections: Workspace (/, /graph, /ask), Library (/documents, /projects, /inbox shown as "Review"), Admin (/activity, /admin/system). /projects (Active/Suggested/Dismissed tabs), /projects/new (suggestion grid + manual create + autofill), /projects/[slug] (Files/Timeline/Entities/Decisions/Questions + Ask-scope deep-link) — the Decisions tab owns the per-project list and Create flow (no standalone /decisions page). /activity is the single home for ?tab=uploads (was /imports) and ?tab=queue (was /jobs); legacy URLs redirect there. /admin/system is the only admin route — it folds in AI Providers + Claude Code status (expand) + Storage stats + API tokens (was /admin/tokens). See ADR-0052.
  • packages/llm-providers — the only place AI calls flow through. See ADR-0049.
  • packages/mcp-tools — @mnela/mcp-tools registry. invokeTool(name, input, ctx) is the shared entry point for both the MCP host and the in-process agent loop.
  • packages/core — system-registry.ts: typed SystemConfig keys + readRegistryValue shared by api/orchestrator/worker.
  • packages/db — Prisma schema + repositories. Migrations are hand-written when migrate dev is impractical on Windows (see ADR-0048 stopgap pattern).
  • packages/claude-runner — low-level wrapper around the claude CLI subprocess. Never import directly from app code — go through @mnela/llm-providers.

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.
