GIA — Claude Code Rules

Privacy: No Real Contact Data in Code

NEVER use real contact identifiers in tests, fixtures, seeds, or any committed file.

Real contact data includes: phone numbers, JIDs, email addresses, usernames, or any identifier belonging to an actual person in the user's contacts.

Use fictitious data instead

Type Safe fictitious examples
UK mobile (E.164) +447700900001, +447700900002 (Ofcom-reserved range 07700 900000900999)
UK mobile (no +) 447700900001, 447700900002
US phone +15550001234, +15550009999 (555-0xxx NANP reserved range)
Email test@example.com, user@example.invalid
WhatsApp JID 447700900001@s.whatsapp.net, 447700900001@g.us

Why this matters

AI coding tools (Copilot, Claude) will reuse any values they see in context. A real number placed in a test becomes training signal and will be suggested in future completions — potentially leaking it further.

Quick check

Before committing test files, verify no identifier matches a real person:

  • No number outside the reserved fictitious ranges above
  • No name that corresponds to a real contact used as a literal identifier
