Project guidance for Claude

Pre-push checklist

CI (.github/workflows/pr-check.yml) runs four gates and fails the PR if any gate fails. Run all four locally before pushing — deno task check and deno task test alone are not sufficient.

deno fmt --check    # CI gate 1 — formatting
deno lint           # CI gate 2 — lint
deno check main.ts  # CI gate 3 — type check
deno test --allow-net --allow-read  # CI gate 4 — tests

Or as a single command:

deno fmt --check && deno lint && deno check main.ts && deno test --allow-net --allow-read

Formatting (the most common failure)

deno fmt --check is strict about line breaks in import statements, type unions, and ternaries. The Deno formatter has opinions that don't always match what an LLM will produce on the first try. Always run deno task fmt (which auto-fixes) after writing or editing TypeScript or Markdown files, then verify with deno fmt --check.

If CI fails on formatting after a push, the fix is:

deno task fmt
git add -u && git commit -m "Apply deno fmt formatting"
git push

Project conventions

• Runtime: Deno v2.x. No Node.js or npm install — dependencies are declared in deno.json imports and resolved via JSR/npm specifiers.
• No emojis in code, comments, or commits unless explicitly requested.
• Commit style: plain imperative ("Add X", "Fix Y") — not conventional commits. Subject under 72 chars, explain why in the body when not obvious.
• No Co-Authored-By trailer on commits unless explicitly requested.

Architecture cheat sheet

• main.ts — entry point; registers all MCP tools on stdio transport
• src/registries/ — one client per package registry (npm, maven, pypi, etc.)
• src/parsers/ — one parser per dependency file format
• src/tools/ — MCP tool implementations
• src/utils/ — shared utilities (cache, http, version parsing, vulnerability)
• src/config/ — custom registry/auth configuration loader

When adding a new registry, you typically need: a registry client (src/registries/X.ts), a parser if it has a dependency file format (src/parsers/X.ts), and registration in src/registries/index.ts and src/parsers/index.ts. Update the tool input enums in src/tools/*.ts and the registry list in README.md.
