claude-shapeup: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-shapeup CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from tiago-peixoto/claude-shapeup. It costs 1,296 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for editing Claude Code plugin prompts and maintaining their tests and Git hooks. The tests include exact checks for scripts and prompt structure, plus behavior checks judged against scenarios.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up the clone, editing prompts, running the two test layers, and following the repository's commit and push rules.
Why use it?
Prompt changes can alter an agent's behavior even when ordinary deterministic tests still pass, so the repository uses separate checks for structure and outcomes.

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

This is tiago-peixoto/claude-shapeup's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-shapeup 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 claude-shapeup 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

claude-shapeup 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 9d 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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Working on this repo (baseline instructions for any Claude agent)

This repo is a Claude Code plugin. Its skills under skills/*/SKILL.md are mostly prompts — the agent's behavior is defined by the text, not by code. A prompt edit can silently shift what the agent produces, even when every deterministic test still passes. Full rationale: CONTRIBUTING.md.

One-time setup (per clone)

Run once after cloning, to activate the local git hooks that enforce the workflow at commit and push time:

bash scripts/setup-hooks.sh

This points core.hooksPath at .githooks/ (tracked in the repo), so the hooks stay in sync as the repo evolves.

Test architecture (two layers, no snapshots)

Layer Subject Determinism Where it fires
Unit Hooks, scripts, prompt structure (placeholder grounding, $FEATURE_DIR block locality, hook wiring) Deterministic — exact text assertions tests/unit/*.sh; runs on pre-commit
Behavioral Agent outcomes via LLM-as-judge against rubric-based scenarios Non-deterministic — evaluated by meaning, not text tests/behavioral/; runs on pre-push when prompts / hooks / references change

There is no snapshot/baseline layer. Exact-text diffs against a non-deterministic generator are a category error. Regressions on meaning belong in the behavioral layer; regressions on scaffolding belong in the unit layer.

Before editing a prompt

Use the behavior-tdd skill (.claude/skills/behavior-tdd/) for any change to agent behavior — editing a skills/*/SKILL.md, a references/* doc, or a behavioral contract. It operationalizes the steps below: establish the behavioral RED, prove it with the ablation negative-control (run-behavioral.sh --ablate), edit, verify GREEN pass^k + unit + regression, and commit cleanly with a single version bump. Don't hand-roll prompt edits without it.

  1. Start from a concrete signal: a failing test, a user complaint, or a behavioral scenario. No speculative rewording — if you can't describe what's broken, don't edit.
  2. Run bash tests/run-all.sh --unit. Must be green before continuing.
  3. Dispatch an Explore subagent to audit the current state of the skill you plan to edit. Do not edit blind.

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.
