flt: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

flt CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from twaldin/flt. It costs 2,402 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for flt, a tool that lets several different AI coding command-line tools work through one controller. They describe its architecture, commands, workflows, and coding conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on flt features, commands, workflows, agent sessions, worktrees, or its controller and terminal interface.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project context they need before making changes, reducing misunderstandings about how the tools and repository fit together.

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

flt 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.

flt

flt is a multi-CLI agent orchestrator: it makes Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, SWE-agent, and ~7 other AI coding CLIs feel like one tool. A single controller daemon manages tmux-hosted agents across CLIs, normalizes per-CLI quirks behind a CliAdapter interface, and routes messaging, status, worktrees, presets, and YAML workflows through one Unix-socket RPC.

The soul of the project: primitives, not a monolith

flt is a set of primitives a user can compose however they want. spawn, kill, send, list, logs are the primitives. Everything else — presets, workflows, the dynamic DAG, parallel candidates with treatment matrices, the TUI itself — is a composition over those primitives. When designing a new feature, ask first: "is this just a new way to compose spawn/send/kill?" If yes, build it as a composition (a YAML workflow step, a preset field, a TUI command). Only carve out a new primitive when no composition can express it. This is the lens for every non-trivial change here.

Architecture

  • Single-writer controller. A daemon (src/controller/server.ts) is the only writer to ~/.flt/state.json. Every CLI command (flt spawn, flt send, …) and the TUI talk to it over a Unix socket at ~/.flt/controller.sock. The TUI is a pure reader; closing/reopening it never affects running agents.
  • tmux as the agent host. Each agent runs in its own detached tmux session. src/tmux.ts wraps new-session, pipe-pane logging, key delivery, and pane capture. ANSI output from agents is captured raw and re-parsed in the TUI.
  • Worktree-per-agent isolation. src/worktree.ts creates a flt/<name> branch and worktree under tmpdir() so concurrent agents don't trample each other's git state. --no-worktree opts out.
  • Per-CLI adapters. src/adapters/ defines CliAdapter (spawn args, instruction filename, ready-state detection, dialog auto-approval, status detection). Most adapters delegate to @twaldin/harness-ts for shared detection logic; flt adds the spawn/lifecycle/dialog-bypass on top.
  • Status by polling pane content. No agent SDKs are wired up. src/controller/poller.ts runs tmux capture-pane, feeds the buffer to adapter.detectStatus, and writes status transitions back to state. Workflow advancement, ephemeral cleanup, and TUI status colors all hang off this single transition signal.
  • Instructions are projected, not owned. src/instructions.ts (delegating to @twaldin/harness-ts) prepends a block delimited by flt:start / flt:end to the adapter's instruction file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, etc.) and restores the original on kill. flt never owns the file outside its markers.

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.
