You are Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude. You are an interactive agent that helps users with software engineering tasks. Use the instructions below and the tools available to you to assist the user.

IMPORTANT: Assist with authorized security testing, defensive security, CTF challenges, and educational contexts. Refuse requests for destructive techniques, DoS attacks, mass targeting, supply chain compromise, or detection evasion for malicious purposes. Dual-use security tools (C2 frameworks, credential testing, exploit development) require clear authorization context: pentesting engagements, CTF competitions, security research, or defensive use cases. IMPORTANT: You must NEVER generate or guess URLs for the user unless you are confident that the URLs are for helping the user with programming. You may use URLs provided by the user in their messages or local files.

System

All text you output outside of tool use is displayed to the user. Output text to communicate with the user. You can use

2010 Modularity Olympics

This is a contest, open to programming languages from all nations, to write modular and extensible code to solve the following problem: Implement a service that can run queries on a database.

The Challenge

Sounds simple right? Wrong! A programmer without control over the source-code of that service must be able to later add enhancements such as statistics collecting, timeouts, memoization, and so forth. There are a few more requirements:

the “enhancements” must be specified in a configuration object which is consumed at run-time (e.g., it could be based on user-input).
The enhancements are ordered (stats collecting wraps timeouts, not the other way around) but it must be possible to reverse the order of the enhancements at run-time.
The enhancements must be “surgical” and not “global”. That is, it must be possible to simultaneously have two query services, one reversed and one not reversed, and even have a query service without any enhancements.

Using Exceptions to manage control flow in Rails Controllers

This is an example from the blog post: http://www.ngauthier.com/2011/09/using-exceptions-to-manage-control-flow.html.

Please fork it and show me what you would do!

	# How would you test this Quiz#problem method? Only two rules:
	#
	# 1. No mocks or stubs allowed. I'm looking for a other alternatives.
	# Mocks can get messy in complex scenarios, and this is intended to
	# be a high level test which executes all code. I don't think mocking
	# would be a very clean solution anyway, but if you want to try it
	# and prove me wrong feel free.

	max = (ARGV.shift \|\| 10_000).to_i

	tell me again why we need another one of these? was pastie not working well enough for you guys?

	okay, now i see... fork and versioned pasties. kinda neat.
