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

marketplace 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 12d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Repository Purpose

This is the Claude Market marketplace repository - a hand-curated collection of open source Claude Code plugins (tools, agents, skills, and MCP servers). This marketplace enables centralized discovery and distribution of Claude Code extensions.

Marketplace Structure

Core File: .claude-plugin/marketplace.json

The marketplace is defined by a JSON file at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json in the repository root. This file contains:

  • name: Kebab-case identifier for the marketplace
  • owner: Maintainer information object with contact details
  • plugins: Array of plugin entries available in this marketplace
  • description (optional): Description of the marketplace's purpose
  • version (optional): Marketplace version
  • pluginRoot (optional): Default root directory for relative plugin paths

Plugin Entry Schema

Each plugin in the plugins array must include:

Required fields:

  • name: Kebab-case identifier for the plugin
  • source: Where to fetch the plugin (relative path, GitHub repo, or git URL)

Optional metadata:

  • description: What the plugin does
  • version: Plugin version
  • author: Author name or organization
  • homepage: Plugin homepage URL
  • repository: Source repository URL
  • license: License type
  • keywords: Array of searchable keywords

Component configuration:

  • commands: Slash commands included
  • agents: Subagents included
  • hooks: Hooks included
  • mcpServers: MCP servers included

Source Types

Plugins can be sourced from:

  • Relative paths: "./plugin-name" (top-level directory in marketplace)
  • GitHub repos: {"source": "github", "repo": "owner/repo"}
  • Git URLs: {"source": "url", "url": "https://example.com/plugin.git"}

Curation Standards

Since this is a hand-curated marketplace:

  1. Quality over quantity: Only include well-tested, valuable plugins
  2. Accurate metadata: Ensure all plugin descriptions, keywords, and component lists are accurate
  3. Working sources: Verify all plugin sources are accessible and functional
  4. License compliance: Confirm all plugins have appropriate open source licenses
  5. Documentation: Plugins should have clear documentation on usage

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.
