CLAUDE.md

gemini-code-assist-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from VinnyVanGogh/gemini-code-assist-mcp. It costs 1,761 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding instructions for the Gemini Code Assist MCP repository, covering design principles, code structure, and testing. MCP means a standard way for AI assistants to connect to software tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing that repository to follow its project conventions, including file-size, function-size, dependency, and testing guidance.
Why use it?
It gives contributors shared rules for keeping code simple, modular, and easier to maintain.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is VinnyVanGogh/gemini-code-assist-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gemini-code-assist-mcp 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 gemini-code-assist-mcp configures โ†’

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

gemini-code-assist-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” measured 8d 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.

CLAUDE.md

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

Core Principles

KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid): Simplicity should be a key goal in design. Choose straightforward solutions over complex ones whenever possible. Simple solutions are easier to understand, maintain, and debug.

YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It): Avoid building functionality on speculation. Implement features only when they are needed, not when you anticipate they might be useful in the future.

Dependency Inversion: High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Both should depend on abstractions. This principle enables flexibility and testability.

Open/Closed Principle: Software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification. Design your systems so that new functionality can be added with minimal changes to existing code.

๐Ÿงฑ Code Structure & Modularity

  • Never create a file longer than 500 lines of code. If a file approaches this limit, refactor by splitting it into modules or helper files.
  • Functions should be short and focused sub 50 lines of code and have a single responsibility.
  • Classes should be short and focused sub 50 lines of code and have a single responsibility.
  • Organize code into clearly separated modules, grouped by feature or responsibility.

Architecture

Strict vertical slice architecture with tests that live next to the code they test.

src/project/ init.py main.py tests/test_main.py conftest.py module_one/ (eg. database, core, auth) init.py module_one.py tests/ test_module_one.py module_two/ (eg. api, ui, cli) init.py module_two.py tests/ test_module_two.py

features/ (eg. business logic, tools, etc.)
    feature_one/
        __init__.py
        feature.py
        tests/
            test_feature.py

Features can also be part of moduels if the module for example is a api integration or a cli tool.

eg src/project/ module_one/ (api integration with crm service) init.py module_one.py tests/ test_module_one.py features/ feature_one/ (CRM service integration slice) init.py feature.py tests/ test_feature.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.
