claude-code-plugins-dev CLAUDE.md

Instructions for a repository that organises custom Claude Code plugins, skills, and other extensions into a marketplace.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating plugin metadata, registering plugins in the marketplace manifest, or consulting the official plugin documentation.
Why use it?
It explains the required marketplace files and plugin structure, reducing guesswork when adding or maintaining extensions.

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.

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

claude-code-plugins-dev 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.

Repository Overview

This is a marketplace for custom Claude Code plugins, skills, and other extensions. The repository follows a structured plugin system where each plugin is self-contained with its own metadata and skills.

Official Documentation

For detailed information about Claude Code plugins, refer to these official documentation resources:

  1. Plugins: Core concepts and guide for creating and using Claude Code plugins
  2. Plugins Reference: Technical reference for plugin structure, metadata schemas, and command formats
  3. Plugin Marketplaces: Guide for creating and managing plugin marketplaces like this repository

These documentation resources provide authoritative information on plugin development best practices, metadata schemas, and marketplace structure that should be consulted when developing new plugins.

Architecture

Marketplace Structure

The repository uses a two-level metadata system:

  1. Root marketplace manifest (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json): Central registry that defines:

    • Marketplace owner and metadata
    • List of all available plugins with their source paths, descriptions, and categories
    • Plugin root directory location (./plugins)
  2. Individual plugin manifests (plugins/{plugin-name}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json): Each plugin has its own metadata including name, version, description, author, and license.

Plugin Organization

Plugins are organized under the plugins/ directory:

plugins/
  {plugin-name}/
    .claude-plugin/
      plugin.json          # Plugin metadata
    skills/
      {skill-name}/
        SKILL.md            # Skill implementation
    agents/                 # Optional
      {agent-name}.md       # Subagent definition

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.
