A command that changes Claude Code to use MiniMax, an alternative AI provider, through its API.

Switching Claude Code to MiniMax and saving or reusing the required provider configuration.

It avoids manually editing provider settings and finding the right API key each time.

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kossakovsky/cc-plugins

Per session 5 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 460 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan B 1 finding. Scan, not verified.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00005	$0.00460
Opus 5	$0.00003	$0.00230
Sonnet 5	$0.00001	$0.00092
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00046

Security

Grade B, and why

minimax scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

c. Read `~/.claude/settings.json` — if `env.ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` exists and `env.ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` contains `minimax`, reuse the existing key

What it actually says

Switch to MiniMax

Switch Claude Code to use MiniMax as the AI provider.

Provider Config

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: https://api.minimax.io/anthropic
ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL: MiniMax-M2.5
ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL: MiniMax-M2.5
ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL: MiniMax-M2.5
ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL: MiniMax-M2.5

Steps

Resolve API key (in order of priority): a. If an argument was provided, use it as the API key b. Read ~/.claude/provider-keys.json — if it exists and has a minimax key, use it c. Read ~/.claude/settings.json — if env.ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN exists and env.ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL contains minimax, reuse the existing key d. If no key found, ask the user to provide their MiniMax API key
Read ~/.claude/settings.json using the Read tool

Update the env section with:

{
  "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "<resolved-api-key>",
  "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.minimax.io/anthropic",
  "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5",
  "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5",
  "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5",
  "ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL": "MiniMax-M2.5"
}

Write the updated settings back to ~/.claude/settings.json
Confirm the switch and tell the user: Restart Claude Code to apply 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.
