Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: PreToolUse hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is vmehera123/leashd's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on leashd 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 leashd 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

leashd 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 26d 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.

leashd is a daemon that runs Claude Code in tmux panes and puts a Sandbox → Policy → Approval pipeline in front of every tool call, driven from a Web UI or Telegram. Product overview: README.md. Subsystem docs: docs/index.md.

Commands

make check          # ruff fix + format, mypy, unit tests
make check-all      # make check + Playwright E2E (tests/e2e/)
uv run pytest -m e2e -v                                    # E2E only; one-time: uv run playwright install chromium
  • Always run through uv run, never bare python / python3.
  • pytest's addopts deselects e2e, so plain uv run pytest never runs the browser tests.
  • IMPORTANT: never pass -q to pytest. addopts already has it, and a second one (-qq) removes the N passed in Xs line, so the run looks like it printed no result. -p no:warnings doesn't bring the line back.
  • The full suite takes about 4 minutes, and make check already runs it, so run it once per verification and never rerun it just to read the result. Send the output to a file in the scratchpad (make check > <scratchpad>/check.log 2>&1; echo "exit=$?") and grep the file as often as you need. Exit 0 means the tests passed.
  • The summary line reads 7830 passed, 65 deselected, 21 warnings in 222s, so a grep -v warning filter deletes it. Match passed|failed instead.
  • While iterating, run only the test files you touched (uv run pytest tests/agents/test_tmux_session.py -k name), and keep the full suite for the final make check.
  • The Makefile runs mypy with || true, so a green make check can hide type errors. Read mypy's output and fix what it reports.
  • CLI surface: leashd --help, leashd <subcommand> --help.

Workflow

  • IMPORTANT: run make check after any implementation work and fix every issue before calling the task done. Also run the E2E tier when you touch the Web UI or browser automation.
  • After each change, add one line to CHANGELOG.md under the current (latest) version heading, as - **added|fixed|changed|removed**: short description. Never create a new version heading.

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.
