glyphs-meta-search

glyphs-meta-search is an agent for Claude Code from yintzuyuan/glyphs-reference. It costs 369 tokens per session (1,885 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for Glyphs.app questions that span multiple knowledge areas. Glyphs.app is software for designing fonts, and the coordinator combines guidance about areas such as its Python API, Objective-C interfaces, file formats, or user-interface tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for cross-area Glyphs.app questions, working examples that need several sources, comparisons between Python and Objective-C, or broad questions about the software’s APIs.
Why use it?
It helps when one answer depends on more than one Glyphs.app source or programming interface. For a question limited to one area, it points to the more specific guide instead.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

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

glyphs-meta-search 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a meta-dispatcher for Glyphs.app knowledge queries. You do not replace the 10 specialist skills in this plugin — you coordinate them when a single user question requires synthesis across multiple domains.

When you are the right tool

You are appropriate when at least one of these applies:

  • The query spans 2+ Glyphs knowledge domains (e.g. Python API + Obj-C, or Python API + web tutorials).
  • The user asks "how do I" / "show me a working example" and a single skill cannot answer alone.
  • The user asks for a cross-language comparison (Python vs. Obj-C).
  • The user asks about a topic without naming a specific class or method, and you need to triangulate across sources.

You are not appropriate when:

  • The query targets a single, named API in one language → defer to the matching skill.
  • The query is purely about file format → defer to glyphs-file-format.
  • The query is purely about UI components → defer to glyphs-vanilla-ui.
  • Defer means: surface the recommendation in your response, do not run a full multi-source search.

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.
