clique: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

clique CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from thejdubb02/clique. It costs 1,382 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for CLIque, a lightweight coding workspace that runs command-line sessions in a browser and keeps them running in tmux.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following project conventions, deciding what to build next, choosing how to handle motion, and understanding the project's command-line interface and releases.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project's rules, priorities, and release process so changes stay consistent with the intended design.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is thejdubb02/clique's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on clique 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 clique 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

clique 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 13d 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 — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLIque — standing rules

Folder-organised, CLI-agnostic coding sessions in a browser, persisted in tmux. Replaces Codeman + CodemanPanel. Python stdlib only — no framework, no node_modules, no build step. 24 MB resident against Codeman's 253 MB, and that gap is the product.

Docs, each with one job — read the one that matches the question:

Question File
What is being built next, in order the CLIque board in Kaneo, one card per job
Why it is ranked that way, what was measured docs/next.md
The argument, and what is refused ROADMAP.md
Raised but not committed to docs/ideas-inbox.md
What shipped CHANGELOG.md

On-demand guidance (skills in .claude/skills/)

  • Motion (clique-motion): CSS/WAAPI only, never a library; animate transform and opacity; reduced-motion ships with it.
  • After any web/ change, and before calling a session done (clique-release-check): tools/visual_check.py, tools/shipped_check.py, release steps.
  • End of any panel feature (clique-three-surfaces): does Android need this, and if not, why not? Answer out loud.

The API is the whole surface

Every action in the panel is an HTTP call — there is nothing the UI can do that a script cannot. Keep it that way: a feature reachable only by clicking is a feature an agent driving CLIque cannot use.

A new route, settings key or PATCH-able field means a line in API.md in the same commit. tools/api_drift.py fails otherwise, so this is not a thing to remember — but write the description properly, because the check only proves the name is present, not that the prose is any good.

It has to work on a stranger's machine

Every feature is designed for someone who installs the package, opens the panel, and is off. Not for this box. If a feature only works because of something in /root/platform, a cron job we run, a file another tool of ours writes, or a key in our vault, it is not finished, and it is a trap: it will look complete here and be dead on arrival everywhere else.

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.
