tech-route-maker: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

tech-route-maker CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Stephen-studying/tech-route-maker. It costs 330 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for creating technical route diagrams, research figures, engineering workflows, and project roadmaps from source evidence. They define how to capture the domain, build an editable route description, validate it, and render the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to create editable workflow or method diagrams, ingest and track source files, validate tech-route.json, and produce rendered diagrams with a quality report.
Why use it?
They reduce guesswork when turning technical material into an accurate diagram and require unresolved domain details to be addressed before rendering.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is Stephen-studying/tech-route-maker's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on tech-route-maker 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 tech-route-maker 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

tech-route-maker 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 1mo 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

Claude Adapter

Use this repository as a Claude-compatible project context or skill folder.

Read SKILL.md first. It is the source of truth for when to use tech-route-maker, how to select default presets, when to ask necessary questions, and how to render editable outputs.

When a user asks for a technical route diagram, paper framework figure, engineering route, project roadmap, method flowchart, workflow, pipeline, or editable diagram:

  1. Inspect source evidence.
  2. Establish domain_context: discipline, subfield, project type, research object, method family, data/materials, constraints and evaluation metrics.
  3. Read references/domain-profiles.md when the discipline is unclear or unfamiliar.
  4. Build tech-route.json.
  5. Inventory local sources with trm ingest and record stable source IDs and SHA-256 hashes.
  6. Offer the closest preset, then confirm missing domain and final delivery choices instead of guessing them.
  7. Run trm validate <route> --strict.
  8. Render selected formats with trm render only after final blockers are resolved.
  9. Report QUALITY_REPORT.md findings and required manual revision.

If the user asks for copyable Draw.io or diagrams.net code, render drawio-code and tell them to paste tech-route.drawio-code.xml into diagrams.net / draw.io through Extras > Edit Diagram.

Use --allow-draft only for an explicitly unfinished draft. Do not render screenshots as the main editable output, and do not present inferred nodes as evidence.

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.
