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 B, and why

starter-kit 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 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.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/starter-kit

Manage the globally installed @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit.

The kit is installed in ~/.claude/starter-kit/. Commands and skills are symlinked from there into ~/.claude/commands/ and ~/.claude/skills/, so updating the starter-kit directory instantly updates everything without needing to re-symlink.

Detect subcommand

Read the user's argument: $ARGUMENTS

  • update → run Update flow below
  • status → run Status flow below
  • add → run Add flow below
  • empty or unrecognised → show usage

Update flow

Check whether npm is available, then run:

npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit update

This overwrites ~/.claude/starter-kit/ with the latest published version, symlinks any new commands or skills that were added, and registers any new hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json.

After the command completes, report the version that is now installed:

cat ~/.claude/starter-kit/version

Tell the user: "✅ Starter kit updated to v. New commands and hooks are active immediately."

If npm / npx is not available, tell the user to install Node.js from https://nodejs.org and then run npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit update in their terminal.


Status flow

Check the installed version and compare with the registry:

npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit status

Show the output to the user as-is. If the kit is not installed, tell the user to run npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit init from any terminal to install it.


Add flow

Install the starter kit into the current project's .claude/ directory. This is the project-level equivalent of the global install — it gives the project its own copy of commands, hooks, and skills that Claude Code picks up automatically.

Steps:

  1. Check whether ~/.claude/starter-kit/ exists. If not, tell the user to run the global install first: npx @claude-code-mastery/starter-kit init
  2. Check whether .claude/ already exists in the current project:
    • If it does, ask the user: ".claude/ already exists in this project. Merge the starter-kit files in? Existing files with matching names will NOT be overwritten." (yes / no)
    • If no: stop.
  3. Copy from ~/.claude/starter-kit/ into .claude/:
    cp -rn ~/.claude/starter-kit/commands/ .claude/commands/
    cp -rn ~/.claude/starter-kit/hooks/ .claude/hooks/
    cp -rn ~/.claude/starter-kit/skills/ .claude/skills/
    
    (-n = no-clobber: never overwrites existing files)
  4. If .claude/settings.json does not exist in the project, copy from the starter-kit:
    cp ~/.claude/starter-kit/settings.json .claude/settings.json
    
    If it does exist, remind the user to manually merge the hook entries from ~/.claude/starter-kit/settings.json if needed.
  5. Report: "✅ Starter kit added to this project's .claude/ directory. Commands and hooks are active for this project."

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.
