Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CLAUDE.md

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

## Project

**Howl** — a Go statusline HUD for Claude Code. Reads JSON from stdin (event-driven: Claude Code re-runs the command on new messages, `/compact`, mode changes, a `refreshInterval` timer, and rate-limit or prompt-cache expiry, debounced at 300ms), computes 4 derived metrics (context%, cache efficiency, API wait ratio, cost/min) with feature toggles, and outputs ANSI-formatted lines. Zero external dependencies (stdlib only), CGO_ENABLED=0, ~10ms cold start.

Module: `github.com/ai-screams/howl`

## Commands

```bash
make build         # CGO_ENABLED=0 go build → build/howl
make install       # build + copy to ~/.claude/hud/howl
make unit-test     # go test ./... -v -cover -coverprofile=coverage.out
make test          # smoke test: pipes sample JSON into built binary
make lint          # golangci-lint run
make fmt           # go fmt ./...
make fmt-docs      # prettier on *.md *.yaml *.yml
make check         # fmt + fmt-docs + lint + unit-test
make setup         # configure .githooks + install prettier

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ai-screams/howl/CLAUDE.md@sha256:12eab8f8fbe3f455

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.a4031b2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
