Deckbuilder CLAUDE.md

Deckbuilder CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from teknologika/Deckbuilder. It costs 4,922 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for Deckbuilder, a Python library and MCP server that generates PowerPoint presentations. They define rules for AI-assisted coding, including working on branches and keeping tests and code checks intact.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding work on Deckbuilder code, documentation, tests, branches, and presentation-generation features.
Why use it?
They give an agent clear project rules so its changes follow the repository's quality, language, testing, and workflow requirements.

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

Deckbuilder 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 3d 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.

Project Overview

THE THREE LAWS OF AI CODING

LAW 1 - An AI may not reduce the quality of a codebase or, through inaction, allow a codebase's quality to be reduced.

LAW 2 - An AI must obey orders from humans, unless such orders are unclear, or conflict with the First Law.

LAW 3 - An AI must follow the prime directives, provided this does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

IMPORTANT AI PRIME DIRECTIVES

1. ALWAYS, ALWAYS WORK ON A BRANCH

2. ALWAYS ENSURE CODE IS HIGH QUALITY, AND MEETS DRY PRINCIPLES

3. MAKE CHANGES THAT ENHANCE AND IMPROVE THE CODEBASE

4. ALWAYS TRY AND ENHANCE EXISTING CODE, AND MINIMISE CYCLOMATIC COMPLEXITY, DONT CREATE ALTERNATE CODE PATHS

5. DOCUMENT CODE IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT EASY FOR AI TO NAVIGATE THE CODE BASE

6. TESTS, PRE-CHECKIN HOOKS AND CI ARE GUARDRAILS. NEVER FAKE RESULTS OR WORK AROUND THEM WITH --NO-VERIFY

7. ALWAYS USE AUSTRALIAN ENGLISH, AND THE METRIC SYSTEM

About this project

Deckbuilder is a Python library and accompanying MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server for intelligent PowerPoint presentation generation. The project has evolved beyond initial setup into a comprehensive content-first presentation intelligence system.

Testing the application

The easiset way is to use the CLI drectly then use python-pptx to verify your output e.g.

Bash(source .venv/bin/activate && deckbuilder create tests/output/imput_file.md --output tests/output/ouput_file)

🔄 Project Awareness & Context

  • Always read PLANNING.md at the start of a new conversation to understand the project's architecture, goals, style, and constraints.
  • Check TASK.md before starting a new task. If the task isn’t listed, add it with a brief description and today's date.
  • Use consistent naming conventions, file structure, and architecture patterns as described in PLANNING.md.

🧱 Code Structure & Modularity

  • Never create a file longer than 500 lines of code. If a file approaches this limit, refactor by splitting it into modules or helper files.
  • Organize code into clearly separated modules, grouped by feature or responsibility.
  • Use clear, consistent imports (prefer relative imports within packages).

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.
