Instructions file for Claude Code

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

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

ForgeGuard 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.

Working in this repository

  • Do not run forgeguard init against the repository root. ForgeGuard installs into its own checkout like any other project, writing .claude/settings.json, .claude/skills/, and .forgeguard/. Use sh tests/sandbox.sh to build throwaway repositories under the gitignored sandbox/ instead.
  • AGENTS.md is a symlink to CLAUDE.md; edit CLAUDE.md.

Checks

.github/workflows/ci.yml runs, in order:

cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo test --locked --workspace
cargo build --locked --workspace --release
sh tests/install_test.sh
sh tests/wizard_test.sh

tests/wizard_test.sh drives the interactive init wizard through a pseudo-terminal, so it needs a built binary and takes the first of target/debug or target/release. sh tests/logo.sh --check verifies the banner grid still matches assets/brand/logo-mark.svg; it is not part of CI because it needs macOS qlmanage and Pillow.

Things that have bitten before

  • The Windows release job only builds, so test code that fails to compile there is never caught by CI. Gate unix-only tests with #[cfg(unix)].
  • A // forgeguard: allow FG-XXX -- reason marker suppresses the rule for only the two lines that follow it, so keep the marker on the line above the finding.
  • The code graph under .forgeguard/cache/memory/ is a cache: bump memory::store::SCHEMA_VERSION when extraction or the schema changes and it rebuilds itself. The committed artifact is .forgeguard/memory/graph.db.zst instead, which .forgeguard/.gitignore deliberately does not ignore.
  • Terminal output uses the stdlib-only theme module in crates/forgeguard-cli/src/main.rs — no color crates. Anything it prints must collapse to plain text when stdout is not a terminal or NO_COLOR is set.
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.
