research-git CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for research-git, a Python memory system for coding experiments. It stores reusable ideas as Feature Capsules beside a Git repository and can regenerate a selected idea onto a later version of the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or testing research-git, capturing or recalling feature ideas, running its command-line interface, or preparing changes that must work with Python 3.11 and the project’s CI.
Why use it?
They explain the project’s commands, file layout, testing setup, and CI requirements so an agent can work on the tool consistently.

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

research-git 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 2d 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this is

research-git (rgit) is a memory system for agentic coding experiments: it captures code ideas as "Feature Capsules" in a graph beside the repo (.rgit/), and later regenerates a chosen idea onto today's codebase. Published to PyPI as research-git, console entry point rgit (rgit.cli:main, also python -m rgit).

Commands

uv pip install -e ".[dev]"          # install for development (pip is blocked in this sandbox; use uv)
python -m pytest -q                 # run all tests (local: .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q)
python -m pytest tests/test_recall.py -q          # one file
python -m pytest tests/test_cli.py -k capture -q  # one test by keyword

pytest is configured in pyproject.toml with pythonpath = ["src"], so tests run from the repo root without installing. There is no linter or formatter configured.

CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs the suite on ubuntu/windows/macos with Python 3.11 via uv pip install --system -e ".[dev]". uv.lock is gitignored — CI uses uv pip, not uv sync. Keep code 3.11-compatible and Windows-safe even though the local venv may be newer.

Architecture

The core design split is two planes:

  • Engine (deterministic, free) — all Python in src/rgit/: the graph store, content-addressed snapshots, diff→symbol mapping, ranking, composing briefs. Never calls an LLM API.
  • Intelligence (delegated) — a Claude Code plugin shipped inside the wheel at src/rgit/_plugin/: three subagents (capsule-segmenter, capsule-regenerator, edge-judge) and two skills (rgit-capture, rgit-recall). The host agent dispatches these on the user's existing subscription. .claude-plugin/marketplace.json points at src/rgit/_plugin; the plugin files are wheel package-data, so installer changes must keep pyproject.toml's package-data globs in sync.

Anywhere the engine needs intelligence it exposes an interface instead: e.g. segmenter.py defines a Segmenter Protocol, tests inject MockSegmenter, and the real segmentation happens when the plugin's subagent fills that role. Tests never dispatch real agents.

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.

research-git CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository StepzeroLab/research-git (42 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,244 tokens to every session, about $0.0062 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
