tiger-cli CLAUDE.md

A repository instruction file that tells a coding agent how to refer to Tiger Data products and how to build the Tiger CLI.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing documentation, code comments, CLI messages, or changing and building the Tiger CLI.
Why use it?
It keeps names and user-facing text consistent while giving the agent the project's approved development commands.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

tiger-cli 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.

Naming Guidelines

When writing or updating documentation, code comments, CLI output, error messages, or any other user-facing text, use these official naming conventions:

Official Names

  • Company Name: "Tiger Data" (two words, with space)
  • Cloud Platform: "Tiger Cloud" (NOT "TigerData Cloud" or "TigerData Cloud Platform")
  • CLI Tool: "Tiger CLI"
  • MCP Server: "Tiger MCP"
  • API References: "Tiger Cloud API" (NOT "TigerData API")

Examples

Correct Usage:

  • "Tiger CLI is a command-line interface for managing Tiger Cloud platform resources."
  • "Authenticate with Tiger Cloud API"
  • "List all database services in your Tiger Cloud project."
  • "The Tiger MCP server provides programmatic access to Tiger Cloud."

Incorrect Usage:

  • "TigerData Cloud Platform" → Use "Tiger Cloud platform"
  • "TigerData API" → Use "Tiger Cloud API"
  • "TigerData project" → Use "Tiger Cloud project"
  • "TigerData MCP" → Use "Tiger MCP"

Development Commands

Building

# Build the main CLI binary
go build -o bin/tiger ./cmd/tiger

# Build from project root (creates bin/tiger)
go build -o bin/tiger ./cmd/tiger

Testing

# Run all tests
go test ./...

# Run tests with verbose output
go test -v ./...

# Load environment variables from .env file (note: source .env doesn't work)
export $(cat .env | xargs)

# Run integration tests with environment variables from .env file
export $(cat .env | xargs) && go test ./internal/cmd -v -run TestServiceLifecycleIntegration

Running Locally

# After building, run the CLI
./bin/tiger --help

# Or run directly with go
go run ./cmd/tiger --help

Integration Testing

Using the Test Script (Recommended)
# Run all integration tests (default pattern: Integration)
./scripts/test-integration.sh

# Run with verbose output
./scripts/test-integration.sh -v

# Run specific test pattern (overrides default)
./scripts/test-integration.sh -run CreateRole

# Run with custom timeout
./scripts/test-integration.sh -timeout 10m

# Combine flags (any go test flags are supported)
./scripts/test-integration.sh -v -run CreateRole_WithInheritedGrants -timeout 5m

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.
