CLAUDE.md

CodeShellManager CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from umage-ai/CodeShellManager. It costs 22,510 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for CodeShellManager, a Windows desktop app that hosts several Claude Code and other command-line sessions in tabs or a grid. It includes session search, alerts, Git status, and saved sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to build or run the WPF app, choose command-line flags, work from the repository root, and handle Visual Studio hot-reload crashes.
Why use it?
They provide the commands, system requirements, and known .NET 10 debugging workaround needed to build and run the app reliably.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; positional $N argument.

This is umage-ai/CodeShellManager's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on CodeShellManager 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 CodeShellManager configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/thraen/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:….

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

CodeShellManager 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 27d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 904 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CodeShellManager

A WPF .NET 10 multi-terminal host for Claude Code (and other CLI tools). Runs multiple pseudo-terminal sessions in a tabbed/grid layout with full-text search, alert detection, git status, and session persistence.

Build & Run

# From repo root
dotnet build src/CodeShellManager/CodeShellManager.csproj
dotnet run --project src/CodeShellManager/CodeShellManager.csproj

# Or open CodeShellManager.slnx in Visual Studio / Rider

Requirements: .NET 10 SDK, Windows 10/11 (uses ConPTY + WebView2)

Visual Studio: Hot Reload disabled

Properties/launchSettings.json ships with "hotReloadEnabled": false, and the csproj sets <MetadataUpdaterSupport>false</MetadataUpdaterSupport> in Debug. Both are workarounds for a System.ExecutionEngineException that crashes the app on F5 under .NET 10.0.8 + VS 18 — Microsoft.Extensions.DotNetDeltaApplier.dll faults during its own startup before any managed code runs. Ctrl+F5 (Start Without Debugging) is unaffected either way. Remove both when the runtime bug is fixed upstream.

Command-line flags

Flag Effect
--clean Debug isolation mode — see below.

--clean (parsed in App.OnStartup, exposed as App.CleanStart):

  • MainWindow.OnLoaded skips the restore loop and clears the in-memory SessionManager — both sessions AND groups — so any new work in the run starts from a blank slate.
  • MainViewModel.SaveStateAsync short-circuits — nothing is written to state.json for the entire run. Window bounds, layout changes, settings tweaks, and any sessions created during the clean run are all discarded on exit.
  • The user's prior state.json survives the run untouched, so this is the safe way to test from a blank slate.

Architecture

Key layers

PTY (ConPTY) → PseudoTerminal → TerminalBridge → WebView2 (xterm.js)
                                     ↓
                           OutputIndexer → SQLite FTS5
                           AlertDetector → SessionViewModel.RaiseAlert()

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.
