es-toolkit CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for es-toolkit, a TypeScript utility library with functions for arrays, strings, objects, promises, and other common tasks. It includes its folder layout, supported languages, and development commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing utility functions, running tests, checking types, linting, or updating documentation.
Why use it?
They give the coding agent the project’s testing, linting, type-checking, documentation, and performance expectations.

Getting it into your agent

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

es-toolkit 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.

Design Principles

  • Performance: Must match or beat lodash.
  • Simplicity: Simplest interface for the 85% use case. No complex options.
  • Don't implement: Functions replaceable by modern JS (Array.isArray, Number.isNaN, Math.min), or TC39 Stage 3+ proposals.
  • es-toolkit vs compat: es-toolkit is the strict, opinionated API. es-toolkit/compat matches lodash behavior exactly for migration. Compat is feature-complete — no new functions are being added. Only behavior inconsistency fixes against lodash are accepted.
  • What we accept: New functions need an accepted discussion first, performance work needs benchmark results, and refactoring-only changes are not accepted. See .github/CONTRIBUTING.md.

Coding Conventions

  • for loops over reduce (local mutation is fine)
  • Built-in JS over custom helpers (Array.isArray(), not isArray())
  • Type params: T elements, K keys, E errors
  • readonly T[] for array params that aren't mutated
  • Detailed JSDoc with @template, @param, @returns, @throws, @example

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.
