Commands for creating and managing plugin templates called archetypes. An archetype is a ready-made starting structure for a particular kind of plugin, such as an API integration or testing tool.

Use them to list archetypes, inspect their requirements, create a plugin from one, or validate an archetype directory.

They reduce repeated setup work and help new plugins follow standard structures and patterns.

archetype — Command for Claude Code by TheLobbi: Commands for creating and managing plugin templates called archetypes.

Install

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.

agentmods

npx agentmods add commands/thelobbi/claude/archetype

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/TheLobbi/claude

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install claude-orchestration, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 49 commands, 9 agents.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 3,009 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 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	$0.00000	$0.03009
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.01504
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00602
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00301

Security

Grade A, and why

archetype scanned grade A 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 3d 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.
