vertz: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

vertz CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from vertz-dev/vertz. It costs 923 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for working on Vertz, a full-stack TypeScript framework with database, server, user-interface, and AI-agent tools. It covers both TypeScript and Rust parts of the framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining the vertz-dev/vertz framework, including its packages, native Rust code, database, APIs, and UI.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project’s architecture, tools, conventions, and design rules so changes fit the existing codebase.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is vertz-dev/vertz's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vertz 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 vertz 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

vertz 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.

Vertz Framework

What is Vertz?

Vertz is a full-stack TypeScript framework. It includes:

  • Database ORM (@vertz/db) — typed queries, migrations, PostgreSQL + SQLite + D1
  • API server (@vertz/server) — entities, services, REST endpoints, auto-generated OpenAPI
  • Compiled UI (@vertz/ui) — signals, JSX, router, SSR, forms, scoped CSS
  • AI agents (@vertz/agents) — agents, typed tools, workflows on Cloudflare Workers
  • Custom runtime & CLI (vtz) — Rust-powered dev server, build, test runner

One schema definition (d.table()) drives the database, API types, client SDK, and UI — if it builds, it works.

Read VISION.md and MANIFESTO.md before making any design decision. Every API, architecture choice, and implementation approach must align with the 8 principles in the vision.

Stack

TypeScript (packages/)

  • Runtime: vtz
  • Language: TypeScript (strict mode)
  • Linter: oxlint
  • Formatter: oxfmt
  • Test runner: vtz test
  • Monorepo: vtz workspaces under packages/

Rust (native/)

  • Language: Rust (2021 edition)
  • Linter: clippy
  • Formatter: rustfmt
  • Test runner: cargo test
  • Async runtime: Tokio
  • JS engine: V8 via deno_core
  • HTTP server: axum
  • Cargo workspace under native/

Development

TypeScript

vtz run build        # Build all packages
vtz test             # Run tests
vtz run typecheck    # TypeScript strict checking
vtz run lint         # oxlint check
vtz run lint:fix     # Auto-fix lint issues
vtz run format       # oxfmt format check
vtz run format:fix   # Auto-fix formatting

Rust

cd native
cargo test --all           # Run all tests
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings  # Lint
cargo fmt --all -- --check # Format check
cargo fmt --all            # Auto-format
cargo build --release      # Release build (CI/deploy only, NOT for dev quality gates)

Never use --release for clippy or quality gates during development. Release builds are significantly slower and only needed for CI pipelines and final deployment. Debug mode catches the same lint issues.

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.
