export

export is a command for coding agents from adhenawer/claude-snapshot. It costs 11 tokens per session (187 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that packages your Claude Code setup into a compressed archive, or snapshot file. The archive can contain plugins, hooks, settings, and instruction files such as CLAUDE.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a dated .tar.gz snapshot to move your setup to another machine or later apply it with the matching snapshot command.
Why use it?
It avoids rebuilding the same Claude Code setup by hand on another computer. It also gives you a portable backup of that setup.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Part of the snapshot plugin — 4 commands shipped together

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/adhenawer/claude-snapshot/export
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/adhenawer/claude-snapshot

Or install snapshot, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 commands.

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

export 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

/snapshot:export

Export your complete Claude Code setup (plugins, hooks, settings, CLAUDE.md) as a portable .tar.gz snapshot.

Usage

/snapshot:export — writes to ~/claude-snapshot-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz

Steps

  1. Run the export via the core script, passing any user arguments:
RESULT=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/snapshot.mjs" export $ARGS 2>&1)
echo "$RESULT"
  1. Parse the JSON result and report to the user:
    • Output file path (emphasize this — it's what they'll pass to /snapshot:apply on the other machine)
    • Number of plugins, hooks, MDs, and marketplaces included

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.
