bpmn-generator: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

bpmn-generator CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Stieges/bpmn-generator. It costs 25,223 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for generating BPMN 2.0 process diagrams from structured JSON. BPMN is a standard notation for describing business processes, and the output can be opened by tools such as Camunda Modeler.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides conversion from natural-language process descriptions to validated JSON, automatic layout, and BPMN XML and SVG output.
Why use it?
It separates process meaning from diagram layout, reducing the risk that generated coordinates or XML break the diagram.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is Stieges/bpmn-generator's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on bpmn-generator 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 bpmn-generator configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is │ ../cross/decision-doc.js, for the opt-in `decisions` option — text, no rule,.

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

bpmn-generator 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 11d 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

CLAUDE.md — BPMN Generator

Project Context

Enterprise BPMN 2.0 Generator: JSON Logic-Core → Validation → ElkJS Layout → BPMN 2.0 XML + SVG. OMG BPMN 2.0.2 compliant (ISO/IEC 19510:2013). Compatible with bpmn.io / Camunda Modeler.

Used as a Claude Code Skill (SKILL.md) — the LLM extracts Logic-Core JSON from natural language, the pipeline handles layout and serialization. The LLM NEVER touches coordinates.

Glossary

  • Logic-Core: the JSON intermediate format between LLM and pipeline. Schema in references/input-schema.json, prose in references/logic-core-schema.md. Example: tests/fixtures/simple-approval.json.
  • BPMN 2.0.2: OMG standard (ISO/IEC 19510:2013) for business process notation. We emit XML compatible with bpmn.io and Camunda Modeler.
  • BPMNDI: BPMN Diagram Interchange — the <bpmndi:*> namespace that carries graphical layout (coordinates, waypoints) alongside the semantic XML.
  • Pool / Lane: a Pool is a participant in a collaboration (its own process boundary); Lanes partition a Pool into roles/actors. Pools communicate via Message Flows.
  • WF-Net: Workflow-Net — a restricted Petri-Net with one source and one sink. Used for soundness analysis (WF01–WF03 rules).
  • Soundness: a process is sound if every case can reach the end state, no dead activities, no proper deadlocks. Petri-Net property.
  • Sugiyama: layered graph drawing algorithm (Sugiyama et al., 1981). ElkJS implements a variant; we use it via the org.eclipse.elk.layered algorithm.
  • ElkJS Layered: JavaScript port of the Eclipse Layout Kernel's layered algorithm. Our auto-layout engine — see scripts/bpmn/layout.js.
  • Bruce Silver Method & Style: industry-recognized style conventions for BPMN diagrams. Most M-layer rules derive from this work — M11 is our own (the decisionRef bridge), not Silver.
  • MCP: Model Context Protocol — the protocol Claude Code uses to talk to external tools. We expose the generator via scripts/mcp-bpmn-server.js.
  • MaD: Model-and-Data sanity check used by the robustness subsystem to validate synthetic fixtures.
  • Golden file: an .expected.bpmn (or .expected.svg) committed alongside a fixture; tests fail if output diverges.

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.
