apply-starter

apply-starter is a command for Claude Code from CassetteTapeCrackle/claude-starters. It costs 20 tokens per session (142 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project setup command that applies a language starter and records a framework choice in the current project's CLAUDE.md file. The setup file is ignored by Git, so it is not shared through version control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work in a project that needs a language starter and a fixed framework choice.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating the same initial setup by hand and makes the chosen framework clear to the coding agent.

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

apply-starter 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 10d 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

Run the applier for the current working directory:

!${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/apply-starter.sh $ARGUMENTS

Then confirm to the user what was applied and remind them the framework is now locked in the project CLAUDE.md.

Changes

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.
