nodejs-starter: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

nodejs-starter CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from threeal/nodejs-starter. It costs 292 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Unlicense.

Repository instructions for a minimal Node.js library and command-line starter written in TypeScript. Node.js runs JavaScript outside a web browser, while the template uses yargs for commands and Vitest for tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a Node.js library or CLI, locating commands and public exports, running tests, or adapting the template to a real project.
Why use it?
It explains the template’s file layout, build assumptions, and placeholder code so developers know what to replace and what guidance may still be generic.

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

nodejs-starter 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.

About This Repository

A minimal Node.js library and CLI starter template. Its only application code is a placeholder Fibonacci implementation in src/ — real logic is added by projects derived from it.

Gotchas

  • lefthook run pre-commit skips every job when nothing is staged, even ones that ignore the staged file list — pass --all-files to run it outside an actual commit.
  • The pre-commit hook fixes files in place, and the run fails if any file changes. Report that failure and leave the fixes for the user to review and re-stage before committing again.
  • Vitest's 100% coverage threshold applies to the whole run, not per file — a single test file can fail on source that other tests cover, so run the full suite (pnpm vitest run).
  • tsconfig.json is for type checking, tests included; tsconfig.build.json only builds the package during prepack.
  • .gitignore ignores every dotfile and dotdir (.*) — a new one needs an explicit ! exception there or it silently won't be tracked.
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.
