README

Claude Pace Maker

Intelligent credit consumption throttling and code quality enforcement for Claude Code.

Features

Credit Throttling: Adaptive pacing for 5-hour and 7-day usage windows
Stale Data Detection: Resilient pacing calculations when usage data is outdated
Model Preference: Nudges Claude to use specific model for subagents (quota balancing)
Intent Validation: Requires intent declaration before code modifications
TDD Enforcement: Core code paths require test declarations
Clean Code Checks: Blocks security vulnerabilities, anti-patterns, and logic bugs
Folder Exclusion: Exclude paths from TDD/Clean Code enforcement
Session Lifecycle: Prevents premature session endings via AI validation
Langfuse Telemetry: Optional tracing integration with Langfuse for session/trace/span tracking
Blockage Telemetry: Track and report validation blocks via pace-maker blockage-stats
Daily Log Rotation: Automatic log rotation (one file per day, 15 days retention)
Enhanced Status Display: Shows versions, Langfuse connectivity, and error counts
Prompt Intelligence (Intel): Optional per-prompt metadata (frustration, specificity, task type, quality, iteration) attached to Langfuse traces for dashboard analytics
Secrets Management: Sanitizes sensitive data from Langfuse trace outputs
Langfuse Auto-Provisioning: Automatic API key provisioning with configurable URL
Danger Bash Validation: Two-phase validation for dangerous Bash commands — regex gate fast-rejects without LLM call, then LLM validates intent alignment when INTENT: is present. 55 default rules covering work destruction (git) and system destruction (rm, kill, etc.)
Activity Indicators: Real-time hook activity tracking (IV, TD, CC, ST, CX, PA, PL, LF, SS, SM, SE, SA, UP) with color-coded status
Global API Poll Coordination: SQLite singleton prevents redundant API polling across concurrent sessions
