c9s: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

c9s CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from StefanoGuerrini/c9s. It costs 2,256 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A terminal dashboard for Claude Code that shows your projects and coding sessions in one place. It reads local Claude Code files and lets you create or attach to sessions through tmux, a tool for managing terminal windows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to browse Claude Code projects, view session details and token usage, start new sessions, and reconnect to running ones.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search through folders or remember which terminal contains a session. It also works without setting up a server or connecting to an API.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is StefanoGuerrini/c9s's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on c9s 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 c9s 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

c9s 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.

c9s — Claude Code Dashboard

A simple terminal dashboard for Claude Code. Run c9s, see all your projects and sessions, create new ones, attach to running ones. Zero setup — it reads directly from ~/.claude/.

Inspired by k9s: simple, fast, keyboard-driven.

Vision

  • Dashboard-first: Launch c9s → see all your Claude Code projects and sessions across all directories
  • Zero setup: Discovers existing sessions from ~/.claude/history.jsonl and ~/.claude/projects/
  • tmux for sessions: Real interactive Claude Code terminals via tmux windows (no in-process terminal emulator)
  • Simple: One binary + tmux. No daemon, no plugins, no agent mail. Just a dashboard.
  • Future: Extend to other CLI agents (Codex, Gemini) — but Claude Code first.

Data sources (all local, no API)

What Where
All sessions + projects ~/.claude/history.jsonl
Token usage per session ~/.claude/projects/<path>/<session>.jsonl → sum message.usage
Session name/title sessions-index.json → customTitle, or history.jsonl → display
Session status JSONL file mtime + ps/lsof process detection

Testing

Always write tests for every change. No code lands without corresponding test coverage.

  • Tests live next to the code they test (foo_test.go alongside foo.go)
  • Run all tests: go test ./... -count=1
  • Run a specific package: go test ./internal/claude/ -v
  • Use t.TempDir() for any file I/O in tests — never write to real paths
  • Table-driven tests preferred for functions with multiple input/output cases
  • Test both happy paths and edge cases (missing files, empty inputs, etc.)

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.
