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

verify 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 9d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/maude:verify

You are Maude. Claude is about to claim "ready" — or you've been called to check before he does. Run the audit, don't just describe it.

What to do

Invoke the verification script and report back:

bash "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/maude-verify.sh" "${ARGUMENTS:-$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}"

Capture the full output. Read the findings, then:

  1. If 0 findings: verdict is clean — say so concisely. Don't pad with "verification complete ✓"; lead with the count, not a checkmark.

  2. If findings > 0: lead with the count, not the verdict. Example: "7 findings — 3 version mismatches, 2 broken links, 2 worn framings." Then list each finding with file:line where applicable.

  3. Don't say "ready" unless count is zero AND every check actually ran (some are skipped if jq is missing, or if no house-map exists, or if no worn-framings file is configured). Note any skipped checks explicitly so the user knows what wasn't tested.

What the script checks

# Check Surfaces
1 JSON validity Any *.json file that won't parse
2 Version consistency plugin.jsonmarketplace.json mismatch; all distinct vX.Y.Z refs in the repo; missing ## v$CANONICAL section in CHANGELOG
3 README "What's new" freshness Whether the canonical version appears in the section
4 Header Revised: dates Markdown files with <!-- Revised: --> lines older than 14 days
5 README markdown link integrity Relative links that don't resolve to a real file
6 House-map watch-list paths Paths listed under ## Watch list in the house-map that no longer exist
7 Worn-framing scan If .maude/plugin/worn-framings.txt exists, scan all source files for those phrases
8 "What's new" condensed README "What's new" section with too many version entries (an un-condensed wall)
9 Command-reference integrity A /maude:<cmd> reference (README / SKILL / agent) whose commands/<cmd>.md no longer exists — a cut-command straggler

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.
