starling CLAUDE.md

starling CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from starling-browser/starling. It costs 329 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for agents working on the starling-browser project. They require reading AGENTS.md first and include project-specific coding, testing, and performance rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them before changing code in this repository, especially when working with C#, comments, braces, performance, or demo-site testing.
Why use it?
They help an AI coding agent follow the repository’s existing standards instead of making changes that conflict with its rules.

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

starling 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Agent instructions

The repository's agent rules of engagement live in AGENTS.md — read it first.

The C# performance policy is the source of truth in AGENTS.md under "Coding standards — performance policy for C# code". It applies to all code in this repo. Follow it for every change.

Comments and doc comments: Use them sparingly. A comment should explain a decision local to the scope of the code when that decision isn't clear from the code itself. Skip comments that restate what the code already says. Keep them local too — never send the reader three layers up or into another system, and do not narrate a problem you hit (no "fixes the issue where..."). See AGENTS.md under "Coding standards" for the full rule.

Braces: Always use braces for conditionals, loops, and other block statements, even when the body is a single line.

Testing a demo site: when asked to test, verify, or check a demo site (the fixtures in testdata/sites/...), always load it through the running Aspire harness at http://localhost:8088/<name>/, never by rendering the files from disk (file://, a loopback, or an in-process stub). Rendering from disk hides real serving failures — most notably the sites YARP container not running when Docker is down. See AGENTS.md under "Getting traces & telemetry from Aspire" for the rule and the quick checks when a site will not load.

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.
