Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin.

This is timescale/pg-aiguide's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on pg-aiguide 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 pg-aiguide configures →

About the project

pg-aiguide is a knowledge and tooling project that gives AI coding assistants version-aware PostgreSQL documentation and curated database practices. Developers use it through agent skills, an MCP server, or a Claude Code plugin to help coding tools generate better PostgreSQL code. The catalogue entries are its skills, instructions, MCP integration, and rule.

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

pg-aiguide 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.

Tiger Docs MCP Server - Development Guidelines

Build, Test & Run Commands

  • Build: ./bun run build - Compiles TypeScript to JavaScript
  • Watch mode: ./bun run watch http - Watches for changes and rebuilds automatically
  • Run server: ./bun run start stdio - Starts the MCP server using stdio transport
  • Checks: ./check - All-in-one command to lint and test. Run before every commit. Covers TypeScript (biome, tsc, tests) and Python (ruff format + ruff check in ingest/). Python checks are skipped with a warning if uv is missing.

Code Style Guidelines

  • Use ES modules with .js extension in import paths
  • Strictly type all functions and variables with TypeScript
  • Follow zod schema patterns for tool input validation
  • Use .nullable() instead of .optional() for optional MCP tool parameters (required for gpt-5 compatibility)
  • Prefer async/await over callbacks and Promise chains
  • Place all imports at top of file, grouped by external then internal
  • Use descriptive variable names that clearly indicate purpose
  • Implement proper cleanup for timers and resources in server shutdown
  • Follow camelCase for variables/functions, PascalCase for types/classes, UPPER_CASE for constants
  • Handle errors with try/catch blocks and provide clear error messages
  • Use consistent indentation (2 spaces) and trailing commas in multi-line objects

Python (ingest/)

  • Formatted and linted by ruff; config lives in ingest/pyproject.toml
  • Never commit generated artifacts (__pycache__/, *.pyc, .venv/, .ruff_cache/)
  • Add dev-only tooling to the dev dependency group, not dependencies
  • Commit the regenerated uv.lock whenever dependencies change; CI runs uv lock --check
  • Chain re-raised exceptions with raise ... from e to preserve the original traceback

Releasing

  • Release with ./bun release <version | major | minor | patch> from a clean main; don't create tags or releases in the GitHub UI. See DEVELOPMENT.md.
  • The script bumps the version in package.json, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, and .cursor-plugin/plugin.json, commits release: vX.Y.Z, tags, and pushes. The tag push triggers .github/workflows/publish.yml.
  • The push to main requires bypassing the pull-request rule. Without that access the tag pushes but the commit is rejected, leaving main behind the released version.

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.
