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 C, and why

adev-plugin CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

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

Identity

adev-plugin is a Claude Code plugin and zero-dependency CLI that implements a full-lifecycle Agentic Development Framework, providing markdown-based skills, bash hooks, and templates for scaffolding structured project context.

Non-Negotiable Principles

  1. Minimize external dependencies — prefer Node.js built-ins (fs, path, child_process, crypto, node:test). Justify any new dependency in an ADR.
  2. Skills are primarily markdown — skill files are structured instructions for Claude. Companion code (helpers, validators) is allowed but must not be required for the skill to function.
  3. Pure ESM — all .mjs files, "type": "module" in package.json. No CommonJS.
  4. Hook protocol compliance — hooks read JSON from stdin + env vars, exit 0 (allow) or 2 (block), output JSON to stdout.
  5. Version parity — package.json and .claude-plugin/plugin.json versions must always match.

Coding Standards

Language and Runtime

  • Primary language: JavaScript (ESM, .mjs extension)
  • Runtime: Node.js
  • Package manager: npm

Conventions

  • Naming: camelCase for functions/variables, kebab-case for files and directories
  • File structure: skills in skills/<name>/SKILL.md, hooks in hooks/, templates in templates/, CLI in cli/
  • Import ordering: Node.js built-ins first, then relative imports
  • Error handling: hooks use exit codes (0 = allow, 2 = block); CLI uses process.exit(1) for fatal errors
  • Logging: hooks output JSON to stdout; CLI uses console.log for user-facing output

Commit Trailers

Commits that implement or fix spec-tracked work must include a Spec: trailer linking back to the spec file. This enables /adev:retro and /adev:hygiene to trace commits to lifecycle artifacts.

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.
