Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin.

This is bromso/metapowers's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on metapowers 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 metapowers configures →

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

metapowers 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Metapowers

Structured, repeatable workflows for digital production domains. 283 skills across 16 plugins.

Architecture

  • Monorepo: Bun + Turborepo workspaces
  • Plugins (plugins/): Each domain is a plugin with SKILL.md files, hooks, and shared resources
  • Packages (packages/): CLI (create-metapowers), skill-validator, plugin-tools, figma-mcp
  • Evals (plugins/<domain>/evals/<skill>/): claude plugin eval suites, run with bun run evals (scripts/run-evals.sh)
  • Docs (apps/docs/): Fumadocs + Next.js static site deployed to GitHub Pages

Plugin Structure

Every plugin follows this pattern:

plugins/<domain>/
├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json    # Plugin manifest
├── hooks/hooks.json              # Quality gate hooks
├── shared/                       # Templates and reference docs
└── skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md  # One SKILL.md per skill

SKILL.md Format

---
name: <skill-name>   # must equal the directory name
description: <Verb-first sentence>. Use when <user's situation, ≥6 words>. Not for <x>; see /<plugin>:<skill>.   # 120–400 chars; "Not for" optional
argument-hint: "<arg>"   # when the skill takes an argument
---

# Skill Name

What the skill does with "$ARGUMENTS" placeholder.

## Prerequisites
What must exist before running (or "None").

## Process
Numbered steps with clear instructions.

## Output
Where the artifact is written and what to present.

Conventions

  • Descriptions start with a verb: "Create", "Analyze", "Review" — enforced by skill-validator
  • Artifacts: All stored in .metapowers/<domain>/<project>/ with numbered prefixes (01-, 02-, etc.)
  • Commits: Conventional commits (feat(domain):, fix(docs):, docs:, ci:)
  • Formatting: Biome for linting and formatting (bun run check, bun run format)
  • Testing: Vitest for packages (bun run test)
  • Skill validation: bun run lint:skills validates all 283 SKILL.md files

Commands

bun run build          # Build all packages
bun run test           # Run tests
bun run lint:skills    # Validate all SKILL.md files
bun run check          # Biome lint check
bun run format         # Biome auto-format
bun run changeset      # Create a changeset for npm release
claude plugin validate . --strict   # Validate plugin manifests
bun run check:plugins               # phase-deps, hooks, counts (plugin-tools), plus the
                                    # apps/docs data and skill-page checks below
bun run evals --dry                 # List eval cases; fail if a prompt names its skill (free)
bun run evals [plugin…]             # Run claude plugin eval per plugin — spends Claude credits,
                                    # capped per plugin by EVALS_MAX_COST_USD (default 10)

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.
