claudette: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claudette CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from utensils/claudette. It costs 7,622 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, and related tools. They document project conventions, build and test commands, and which companion instruction files must stay aligned.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding AI-assisted work on a Rust and React/TypeScript desktop project, including documentation, code style, testing, and configuration updates.
Why use it?
They give coding assistants a shared source of truth so generated changes and reviews follow the repository's architecture and rules.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is utensils/claudette's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claudette 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 claudette 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

claudette 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

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

Claudette

Cross-platform desktop orchestrator for parallel Claude Code agents, built with Rust (Tauri 2) and React/TypeScript.

AI assistant configuration

This file is the source of truth for project conventions. Several companion configs read by other AI tools live alongside it and need to stay aligned when the rules here change:

  • .github/copilot-instructions.md — repo-wide guidance read by GitHub Copilot on every PR review and code suggestion.
  • .github/instructions/rust.instructions.md — scoped to **/*.rs via applyTo frontmatter.
  • .github/instructions/frontend.instructions.md — scoped to src/ui/**/*.{ts,tsx,css}.
  • .github/instructions/regression-review.instructions.md — scoped to all files; used during PR review for regression-first checking.
  • AGENTS.md — symlink to this CLAUDE.md, read by Codex / OpenCode / other agent tools that look for that filename. Edit CLAUDE.md, never AGENTS.md.

When you change architecture, commands, code-style, regression rules, or god-file lists in this CLAUDE.md, scan the Copilot files for the same statement and update both. Drift here causes Copilot's PR reviews to flag (or miss) issues that don't match what we tell humans.

Documentation discipline

Always update the user-facing docs in the same PR as the feature change. Adding, removing, or changing user-visible behavior — settings, commands, CLI flags, keyboard shortcuts, environment variables, file locations, plugin manifests, notification triggers — requires a matching docs change. The docs site lives at site/src/content/docs/ (Astro Starlight). Two surfaces matter:

  • site/src/content/docs/features/<topic>.mdx — the per-feature deep-dive page. New cross-cutting feature → new page. Existing feature gained a knob → update the page. Register new pages in the sidebar nav at site/astro.config.mjs so they're reachable.
  • site/src/content/docs/features/settings.mdx — the flat settings reference table. Every Settings panel control belongs in this file's matching ## <Section> table; add the row when you add the control.

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.
