Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is big-emotion/agent-atelier's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-atelier itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-atelier configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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

agent-atelier CLAUDE.md 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 7d 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.

What this repo is

Agent Atelier — a multi-plugin Claude Code marketplace, not an application. It curates Big Emotion's first-party skills, commands, and agents into six domain plugins under plugins/, distributed as the git repo itself (/plugin marketplace add big-emotion/agent-atelier; the marketplace name stays big-emotion, so installs are <plugin>@big-emotion). There is no build, no runtime, no deploy.

Almost everything here is Markdown. The only executable code is the two CI gates — scripts/check-templates.mjs and scripts/check-manifests.mjs — and their tests.

Registry layout

Plugin Contents
plugins/prompt-utils skills expertify, thought, repo-scout + command interview
plugins/project-standard the setup skill: the seven-module Big Emotion project standard (M1–M7) with runbooks and templates
plugins/pr-trains skills review-train, fix-train, fix-ci-train, merge-train, issue-train
plugins/frontend-fidelity skills reverse-ui, blueprint, validate-fidelity
plugins/code-quality skill ai-code-tells, agent code-review (+ codex/code-review.toml, the Codex CLI variant)
plugins/agent-comms skills attention-architect, video-director, audience-audit, content-strategist, bigemotion-reel-clip

Every plugin is generic by construction: no client names, no infrastructure coordinates, no secrets. New material must arrive already de-branded.

Commands

npm test                              # node:test suite over scripts/*.test.mjs
npm run check:templates               # placeholder-registry gate (see below)
npm run check:manifests               # marketplace/plugin/version lockstep gate

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.
