phpClickHouse CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for phpClickHouse, a PHP library that sends queries to ClickHouse databases. They describe its supported PHP versions, code structure, compatibility rules, and security requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help agents add or modify PHP client code, format values safely, preserve existing method signatures, follow the project’s namespace and style rules, and run integration tests.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk of breaking the library’s public interface or putting user input directly into SQL, and clarify how changes should be tested.

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

phpClickHouse CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

CLAUDE.md — phpClickHouse

Project Overview

PHP client library for ClickHouse (smi2/phpclickhouse). Pure PHP, no dependencies beyond ext-curl and ext-json. Supports PHP 8.1+.

Principles

  • Follow existing patterns in surrounding code — the codebase uses Doctrine coding standard (phpcs.xml.dist)
  • Write tests for new functionality — all tests require a running ClickHouse instance
  • Keep changes focused — avoid over-engineering, this is a lightweight HTTP client
  • Security: all user-supplied values must go through ValueFormatter::formatValue() or bindings (:param), never raw string interpolation into SQL
  • Use declare(strict_types=1) in every PHP file
  • PSR-4 autoloading: ClickHouseDB\ namespace maps to src/
  • Backward compatibility is sacred: NEVER rename, remove, or change signatures of public methods. Public API must remain fully compatible across versions. New parameters — only with default values. Deprecate, but don't break.

Architecture

Client (API) → Http (transport) → CurlerRequest/CurlerRolling (curl) → Statement (results)
                ↑                        ↑
            Settings              Query + Degenerations (SQL generation)
  • Client.php — user-facing API: select(), write(), insert(), selectAsync()
  • Statement.php — result wrapper with lazy parsing, implements Iterator
  • Settings.php — connection config (timeouts, compression, HTTPS, readonly)
  • Transport/Http.php — HTTP layer, auth methods (header/basic/query string), URL construction
  • Transport/CurlerRolling.php — async execution via curl_multi_*
  • Query/Query.php — SQL + format management, degeneration pipeline
  • Query/Degeneration/Bindings.php — parameter binding (:param → escaped value)
  • Query/Degeneration/Conditions.php — conditional SQL template blocks
  • Quote/ValueFormatter.php — type-aware value escaping for SQL safety
  • Cluster.php — multi-node cluster support with health checks

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.
