hands-on-deck CLAUDE.md

hands-on-deck CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from EveryInc/hands-on-deck. It costs 227 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for the Hands-on Deck plugin and its supporting code and documentation. They require the plugin version to be updated whenever its behavior or shipped guidance changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Making changes to the skill, deck generator, bundled documentation or behavior while keeping plugin metadata and release conventions correct.
Why use it?
They prevent the plugin's version files from getting out of sync with its changes. They also define how to choose a semantic version and format the commit message.

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

hands-on-deck 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Working in this repo

Bump the version on every change to the skill

Any change to the skill — skills/hands-on-deck/SKILL.md, deck.py, the docs it ships, or its behavior — must bump the version in the same PR. Two files carry it and they move together:

  • .claude-plugin/plugin.jsonversion
  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonplugins[0].version

(Leave marketplace.json's top-level metadata.version alone — that's the marketplace's own version, not the plugin's.)

Follow semver and the existing commit convention:

  • Patch (3.0.13.0.2) — guidance tweaks, small fixes, doc changes.
  • Minor (3.0.03.1.0) — new capabilities or commands.
  • Major — breaking changes to the CLI or patch format.

Commit message format: hands-on-deck X.Y.Z: <one-line summary of the change>.

Changes

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.
