claudeguard: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claudeguard CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from TaroVard/claudeguard. It costs 765 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for claudeguard, including its setup, development commands, architecture, tests, type checking, linting, and command-line interface. A command-line interface is a program controlled by terminal commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or testing claudeguard, installing or removing its hook, managing security profiles, checking status, running the CLI, or performing Python quality checks.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the exact project workflow for installing dependencies, configuring security profiles, and checking changes. This reduces mistakes when working on hooks or CLI behavior.

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

claudeguard 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 6d 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.

Architecture Overview

claudeguard is a security layer for Claude Code that intercepts tool calls and makes permission decisions through pattern matching. The system is built around these core components:

Hook System (src/claudeguard/hook.py)

  • Entry point that intercepts Claude Code tool calls via JSON stdin/stdout protocol
  • Integrates with Claude Code's permissionDecision hook system
  • Handles error sanitization and fail-safe behavior

Permission Engine (src/claudeguard/permission_decision.py)

  • Makes security decisions (allow, ask, deny) based on loaded profiles
  • Implements fail-safe defaults (errors default to "ask")
  • Core decision-making logic for tool call authorization

Pattern Matching (src/claudeguard/pattern_matcher.py)

  • Multi-strategy pattern matching: glob, regex, and MCP-specific patterns
  • Includes DoS protection for regex patterns and input validation
  • Extracts resources from tool calls for pattern comparison

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.
