Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

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

check-deps 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.

Instructions for Claude

When user invokes this command:

Step 1: Parse Arguments

const args = parseArguments();
const chainName = args[0]; // Optional - if omitted, check all chains

Step 2: Load Registry

Read the plugin registry:

const registryPath = '${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/registry/plugins.yaml';
const registryContent = Read(registryPath);
const registry = parseYaml(registryContent);

If registry doesn't exist:

❌ Plugin registry not found

Expected location: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/registry/plugins.yaml

This is required for dependency checking.

Step 3: Load Installed Plugins

const installedPath = '~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json';
const installedData = JSON.parse(Read(installedPath));

If file doesn't exist, treat as no plugins installed.

Step 4: Check Dependencies

If chain name provided (specific chain):

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.
