Kite CLAUDE.md

Kite CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from yuanlang12/Kite. It costs 554 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for Kite, a Claude Code launcher that connects terminal sessions with messaging platforms. It explains the project's purpose, communication style, architecture, and development commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on Kite's Claude launcher, its Telegram, Feishu, WeChat, or WeCom connections, session resuming, process control, project routing, and JSONL file watching.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent project-specific guidance instead of making them infer how Kite works. It also documents the rule that terminal and remote messaging control cannot run at the same time.

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

Kite 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 5d 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.

Project Overview

Kite is a Claude Code launcher that bridges your terminal session to IM platforms (Telegram, Feishu/Lark, WeChat, WeCom). It implements a mutual-exclusion state machine: at any moment, either the terminal OR an IM platform is controlling Claude. Both share the same session via --resume.

Communication Style

When discussing decisions with the project owner, use plain language that non-technical users can understand. Avoid jargon and technical terms — explain things in terms of user-facing behavior and outcomes.

Architecture

Core principle: Only one Claude process runs at a time. Local and remote modes never run simultaneously — switching kills the current process and starts a new one with --resume.

Single-process constraint: Each IM bot token can only be used by one kite process. Use multi-project routing (/addproject + /bind) to manage multiple projects from a single process.

Key design decisions:

  1. JSONL file watching — SessionScanner watches Claude Code's session files for real-time assistant message forwarding to IM
  2. Plugin architecture — Each IM platform is a separate package implementing IMAdapter in packages/<platform>/
  3. Zero infrastructure — Runs entirely locally, no external servers
  4. IM feedback layers — 👀 reaction on receipt, 🤔 thinking message edited to final response
  5. Binding gate — If registered projects exist and chat has no binding, messages are held until /bind

Development Commands

bun install          # Install dependencies
bun dev              # Dev mode (apps/cli)
bun typecheck        # Type check workspace
bun lint             # Lint with Biome
bun format           # Format with Biome (auto-fix)

Code Style

  • Formatter/Linter: Biome (config in biome.json)
  • Single quotes, no semicolons (semicolons: asNeeded)
  • 2-space indentation, 100 char line width
  • A PostToolUse hook auto-formats on every Write/Edit

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.
