MAX-MSP_CC_Framework: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

MAX-MSP_CC_Framework CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from taylorbrook/MAX-MSP_CC_Framework. It costs 7,707 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Max/MSP, a visual programming environment for music, sound, and multimedia. They explain how to use a database of Max objects and related tools such as Gen~, RNBO, and Max for Live.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when creating or editing Max patches, audio processing code, video or matrix work, GenExpr, RNBO exports, or Node for Max scripts.
Why use it?
They give a coding agent project-specific rules and object information, reducing incorrect patches and unsupported objects.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; positional $N argument.

This is taylorbrook/MAX-MSP_CC_Framework's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on MAX-MSP_CC_Framework 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 MAX-MSP_CC_Framework 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

MAX-MSP_CC_Framework 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MAX Development Framework

This file defines how Claude works with MAX/MSP patches and code in this project. Every rule here is mandatory. When generating patches, writing GenExpr, creating RNBO exports, or scripting with Node for Max / js objects, follow these rules exactly. Each rule is a one-line imperative; where detail moved out, the rule names its home.

Reference docs:

  • .claude/skills/references/db-maintenance.md -- object-DB internals: override merging, refpage authority, empty-I/O audits, re-sync after a Max update
  • .claude/skills/references/genexpr-rules.md -- full gen~ rules with derivations and per-version evidence (max-dsp-agent loads it)
  • .claude/skills/references/ui-presets.md -- UI presets, Max 9 theme defaults and the "Text Contrast Resolution" algorithm
  • .claude/skills/references/severity-contract.md -- what validator and critic findings mean, and which block a save
  • .claude/skills/references/troubleshooting.md -- MAX console error -> cause -> fix
  • .claude/skills/references/proven-forms.md -- forms confirmed in MAX, with evidence tiers
  • .claude/skills/references/max-9.2-changes.md -- Max 9.2 objects, messages, attributes and v8 APIs
  • .claude/skills/references/shared-capabilities.md -- capabilities every specialist agent shares (styling, layout, editing)

Object Database

The object knowledge base lives at .claude/max-objects/: one objects.json per domain (max, msp, jitter, mc, gen, m4l, rnbo) plus packages/<Package>/objects.json. Each entry is keyed by object name: name, maxclass, module, domain, inlets (id/type/signal/hot), outlets (id/type/signal), arguments, messages, min_version, verified, rnbo_compatible, variable_io.

Supplementary Files

  • overrides.json -- expert corrections that take precedence over extracted data (merged per port; semantics in db-maintenance.md).
  • aliases.json -- shortcuts mapped to canonical names (t -> trigger, b -> bangbang, sel -> select); also the bundle's max objectfile shortcuts (mc.times~, hslider, list.* -> zl.*, jit.+, Vizzie short names).
  • relationships.json -- common pairings and companions (tapin~/tapout~, notein/stripnote).
  • pd-blocklist.json -- Pure Data objects that do NOT exist in MAX, with their MAX equivalents.
  • extraction-log.json -- extraction metadata and statistics.
  • groups.json -- inherited group names (mc wrapper, shared Jitter, thispatcher selectors); written only by tools/sync_max_bundle.py --apply groups, merged at call time by ObjectDatabase, never copied into domain files.
  • idioms.json -- cords the bundle's own help patches ship; validation Layer 3 never type/role-checks a listed cord (bounds always); written only by --apply idioms.
  • version_io.json -- per-version I/O changes mined from help boxes saved by different Max builds; written only by --apply version-io.

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.
