cleanroom-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cleanroom-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from websitebutlers/cleanroom-mcp. It costs 904 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for a clean-room MCP server, which separates software analysis from implementation so the people or agents writing the specification cannot directly pass along protected source details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage projects, create and review specifications, hand work to implementers, run tests and verification, inspect audit logs, and record team or AI attestations.
Why use it?
The separation helps support independent reimplementation, while an audit trail records actions and makes them tamper-evident.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is websitebutlers/cleanroom-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cleanroom-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 cleanroom-mcp 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

cleanroom-mcp 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 9d 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.

Cleanroom MCP Server

What This Project Is

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enforces the clean-room software reimplementation process. AI coding agents connect to this server and receive role-gated access to tools — an analyst agent gets spec-writing tools, an implementer agent gets coding tools, and neither can cross the information barrier. Every action is automatically logged to a tamper-evident audit trail.

See the README and docs/getting-started.md for usage documentation.

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.
