claw-code CLAUDE.md

Development instructions for Claw Code, a Rust command-line agent harness, covering its code layout, checks, and working rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing Claw Code, running formatting or tests, or reviewing changes across its repository.
Why use it?
It explains how to verify changes and keep the Rust implementation, Python reference code, and tests consistent.

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

claw-code 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 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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Detected stack

  • Languages: Rust.
  • Frameworks: none detected from the supported starter markers.

Verification

  • Run Rust verification from repo root: scripts/fmt.sh --check; for formatting use scripts/fmt.sh. Run Rust clippy/tests from rust/: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace
  • src/ and tests/ are both present; update both surfaces together when behavior changes.

Repository shape

  • rust/ contains the Rust workspace and active CLI/runtime implementation.
  • src/ contains source files that should stay consistent with generated guidance and tests.
  • tests/ contains validation surfaces that should be reviewed alongside code changes.

Working agreement

  • Prefer small, reviewable changes and keep generated bootstrap files aligned with actual repo workflows.
  • Keep shared defaults in .claude.json; reserve .claude/settings.local.json for machine-local overrides.
  • Do not overwrite existing CLAUDE.md content automatically; update it intentionally when repo workflows change.
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.
