CLAUDE.md

foundry-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from CrowdStrike/foundry-skills. It costs 590 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for developing CrowdStrike Foundry plugins. It also defines automatic checks that guide Foundry commands and development workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or changing Foundry plugins with Claude Code, especially when working with Foundry's command-line tools, skills, and hooks.
Why use it?
It helps prevent common setup and command mistakes, such as missing non-interactive options or manually creating app files in an invalid structure.

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is CrowdStrike/foundry-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on foundry-skills 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 foundry-skills 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

foundry-skills 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 25d 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 — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

Before responding to any Foundry development request, read AGENTS.md for the complete CLI reference, skills ecosystem, and development guide.

Below are Claude Code-specific additions for this plugin.

Plugin Hook Behavior

This plugin includes four hooks that run automatically:

  • SessionStart: foundry-session-start.sh checks CLI version and initializes the Foundry environment
  • UserPromptSubmit: foundry-skill-router.sh routes user intents to the appropriate skill
  • PreToolUse (Bash): foundry-cli-guard.sh checks Bash commands and adds advisory context when a Foundry CLI command is missing a required flag such as --no-prompt, or when app structure is being created by hand
  • PreToolUse (Skill): superpowers-foundry-bridge.sh advises switching from superpowers:brainstorming to the Foundry development workflow skill when the task is Foundry app work

Automated Safety Enforcement

The foundry-cli-guard.sh hook checks every Bash command and flags:

  • Foundry CLI commands missing --no-prompt (prevents Error: EOF failures)
  • Manual directory/file creation for app structure (prevents invalid manifest.yml)

The hook is advisory: it adds context to the tool call but doesn't block or rewrite the command, so the command still runs as written. Get the flags right before running.

Skills Integration with Claude Code Workflows

Planning Integration: For structured planning with review checkpoints, install superpowers (superpowers:writing-plans, superpowers:executing-plans). Without superpowers, the orchestrator provides basic planning guidance that accounts for dependencies between Foundry capabilities and the manifest.

Execution Integration: If superpowers is installed, superpowers:executing-plans provides batch execution with review checkpoints between capabilities. Otherwise, use the orchestrator's built-in execution checkpoints.

Testing Integration: If superpowers is installed, superpowers:test-driven-development enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR discipline. Each Foundry sub-skill also has its own capability-specific testing patterns.

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.
