What is citeclaw AGENTS.md?

A repository guide for the Citoid Node.js service, describing its folders, commands, coding rules, and tests.

Use it to install, run, lint, test, and extend the service while following its file structure and naming conventions.

It gives a coding agent the project’s working rules and test process, reducing guesswork when changing the code.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00632	$0.00632
Opus 5	$0.00316	$0.00316

Security

Grade A, and why

citeclaw AGENTS.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 yesterday.

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.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

Citoid is a Node.js service with a flat top-level layout.

server.js: service entrypoint (service-runner, launched via Bun script).
app.js: Express app initialization, middleware, route loading, and config defaults.
routes/: API route handlers (citoid, info, root).
lib/: core business logic (citation pipeline, Zotero integration, translators, external API adapters).
test/: Mocha test suites by area: features/app, features/errors, features/scraping, features/unit, zotero.
config.dev.yaml, config.prod.yaml, config.yaml: runtime configuration.
.pipeline/ and dist/: CI/container build configuration and packaging artifacts.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

Use npm with Node.js 20 or 22.

npm install: install dependencies.
npm run start: run via service-runner using config.yaml.
npx citeclaw <args>: run CLI from npm.
npm run test: lint + core feature suites.
npm run test:zotero: full test run including Zotero-heavy tests.
npm run coverage: run nyc coverage.
npm run lint / npm run lint:fix: enforce/fix ESLint rules.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

Follow ESLint config wikimedia/server (.eslintrc.json).
Use tabs for indentation and single quotes in JS, matching existing files.
Prefer camelCase for variables/functions; keep existing class-style filenames in lib/ (for example CitoidService.js).
Route and translator files are typically lowercase (routes/info.js, lib/translators/crossRef.js).

Testing Guidelines

Frameworks: Mocha + Chai; nock for HTTP mocking; nyc for coverage.
Place tests near matching domains (test/features/unit/*, test/features/scraping/*, etc.).
Name tests by behavior or integration target (for example semantic-scholar-service.js, redirect.js).
Run npm run test before submitting; run npm run test:zotero when changing Zotero/translators/scraping flow.

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.
