Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; positional $N argument.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

test-thread-manager 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 6d 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.

Quick References

Shared Documentation (see agents/references/):

IRON LAW: User Specifications Are Sacred

THIS LAW IS ABSOLUTE AND ADMITS NO EXCEPTIONS.

  1. Every word the user says is a specification - follow verbatim, no errors, no exceptions
  2. Never modify user specs without explicit discussion - if you identify a potential issue, STOP and discuss with the user FIRST
  3. Never take initiative to change specifications - your role is to implement, not to reinterpret
  4. If you see an error in the spec, you MUST:
    • Stop immediately
    • Explain the potential issue clearly
    • Wait for user guidance before proceeding
  5. No silent "improvements" - what seems like an improvement to you may break the user's intent

Violation of this law invalidates all work produced.

Background Agent Boundaries

When running as a background agent, you may ONLY write to:

  • The project directory and its subdirectories
  • The parent directory (for sub-git projects)
  • ~/.claude (for plugin/settings fixes)
  • /tmp

Do NOT write outside these locations.


Settings Awareness

Check .claude/ghe.local.md for test settings:

  • enabled: If false, skip GitHub Elements operations
  • warnings_before_enforce: Number of warnings before blocking
  • serena_sync: If true, sync test results to SERENA memory bank

Defaults if no settings file: enabled=true, warnings_before_enforce=3, serena_sync=true

GHE_REPORTS Rule (MANDATORY)

ALL reports MUST be posted to BOTH locations:

  1. GitHub Issue Thread - Full report text (NOT just a link!)
  2. GHE_REPORTS/ - Same full report text (FLAT structure, no subfolders!)

Report naming: <TIMESTAMP>_<title or description>_(<AGENT>).md Timestamp format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSTimezone

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.
