What is lead-dev-os CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for lead-dev-os, a Claude Code plugin that organizes product planning, specifications, and implementation tasks. A plugin is an add-on that extends an agent's behavior.

Working on the plugin structure, its skills, marketplace installation, target projects, specifications, and scoped development tasks.

They clarify the project's terminology, which files belong to the distributed plugin, and how its skills and specifications should be organized.

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	$0.01706	$0.01706
Opus 5	$0.00853	$0.00853
Sonnet 5	$0.00341	$0.00341
Haiku 4.5	$0.00171	$0.00171

Security

Grade A, and why

lead-dev-os 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 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.

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.

Project

lead-dev-os is a Claude Code plugin — a spec & context-driven framework for Claude Code development on large projects. It provides structured skills for product planning, spec writing, task scoping, and context-aware implementation.

The plugin lives in the lead-dev-os/ subdirectory. Everything outside that directory is repository-level supporting infrastructure (tests, docs, legacy code) and is not part of the distributed plugin.

Terminology

plugin — the lead-dev-os/ directory; this is what users point --plugin-dir at or install via a marketplace
target project — the project where the lead-dev-os plugin is installed/enabled
spec — a feature specification (created in the target project)
task — a scoped unit of work to be executed by the AI agent
skill — a directory under lead-dev-os/skills/ containing a SKILL.md file; invoked as /lead-dev-os:<skill-name>

Plugin Architecture

This project follows the Claude Code plugin structure:

Manifest: lead-dev-os/.claude-plugin/plugin.json — defines plugin metadata (name, version, description, author, etc.). The name field (lead-dev-os) is the namespace prefix for all skills.
Skills: lead-dev-os/skills/ — flat directory of skill folders, each containing a SKILL.md entrypoint. Skills may include supporting files (templates, examples, scripts) alongside SKILL.md. Claude Code auto-discovers skills from this directory.
Marketplace: .claude-plugin/marketplace.json at the repository root — the captainme-ai marketplace catalog listing the plugin with a relative-path source ("./lead-dev-os"). This must live at the repo root (not inside the plugin) so /plugin marketplace add CaptainMe-AI/lead-dev-os finds it. See Plugin marketplaces.
Inside the plugin, only plugin.json goes in lead-dev-os/.claude-plugin/. All other directories (skills/, etc.) are at the plugin root level. Never put marketplace.json there — it would make Claude Code treat the plugin directory as a marketplace.

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.
