fenic: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

fenic CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from typedef-ai/fenic. It costs 1,047 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for developing fenic, a Python framework for transforming AI and language-model data, including setup, dependencies, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on fenic to follow its setup process, synchronize Python or Rust dependencies, build Rust extensions, and run local or cloud tests.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project’s background and the commands needed to prepare, test, and maintain the repository.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is typedef-ai/fenic's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on fenic itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything fenic configures →

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

fenic 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 2mo 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.

@AGENTS.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository. The @AGENTS.md line above pulls in the cross-agent quick-reference for writing fenic pipelines (also read natively by Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, etc.); the rest of this file covers developing fenic itself. For deep authoring help, the fenic-mechanics skill auto-loads in Claude Code.

Project Overview

Fenic is a PySpark-inspired DataFrame framework specifically designed for AI and LLM applications. It provides semantic operators for LLM-powered data transformations, native support for unstructured data (markdown, transcripts, JSON), and efficient batch inference across multiple model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google).

Development Commands

Setup and Dependencies

# Initial setup (installs dependencies and builds Rust extensions)
just setup

# Sync Python dependencies
just sync

# Build Rust extensions (required after Rust code changes)
just sync-rust

# Sync with cloud extras

Testing

# Run local tests (excludes cloud tests)
just test
# or
just test-local

# Run cloud-related tests
just test-cloud

# Run specific test file
uv run pytest tests/path/to/test_file.py

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.
