ai-project-guard: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ai-project-guard CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from zhangguangzhi001-bot/ai-project-guard. It costs 1,721 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local-first command-line tool that creates project guidance files for AI coding agents. These files record architecture, lessons learned, risky modules, workflows, commands, and agent roles.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps initialize governance files for existing or older projects, currently focusing on Claude Code and planned support for other agents.
Why use it?
It gives an agent project-specific boundaries and context without uploading the code or directly changing the project's business code.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is zhangguangzhi001-bot/ai-project-guard's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ai-project-guard 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 ai-project-guard 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

ai-project-guard 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 12d 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.

Repository status

This repository contains a product requirements document (ai-project-guard-prd.md) and a v0.1 TypeScript/Node CLI implementation for the planned AI Project Guard open source tool. There are no Cursor rules or Copilot instructions.

Product purpose

AI Project Guard is planned as a local-first CLI that initializes AI coding governance files for existing/legacy projects. Its primary output is not business code changes, but project-specific guard rails such as CLAUDE.md, architecture context, lessons learned, dangerous module lists, workflows, commands, and agents.

Core product constraints from the PRD:

  • Default to local scanning; do not upload code for analysis.
  • Do not directly modify target project business code.
  • Do not write real secret values into generated files.
  • Do not silently overwrite existing governance files.
  • MVP focuses on Claude Code output before expanding to Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, and generic agents.

Common commands

Development commands from package.json:

npm install
npm run build
npm run dev -- init --profile claude-code --dry-run
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm run format
npm test
npm run test:watch

Run one test file:

npm test -- tests/generators/claude-generator.test.ts

Current implemented CLI surface:

ai-project-guard init
ai-project-guard init --profile claude-code
ai-project-guard init --profile claude-code --dry-run
ai-project-guard init --profile claude-code --output ./target-project
ai-project-guard init --profile claude-code --output ./target-project --force
ai-project-guard init --profile claude-code --no-scan

Planned later commands from the PRD: scan, validate, doctor, local, template list, and template eject.

Planned implementation architecture

The PRD proposes a TypeScript-style CLI organized around these major areas:

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.
