dotclaude: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

dotclaude AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from FradSer/dotclaude. It costs 1,131 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for working on the dotclaude project, a collection of add-ons for coding agents. They describe the repository layout, its plugins, and the development checks to follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, checking, or navigating plugins and other files in the dotclaude repository.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project context and local rules needed to make changes in the right folders and follow the expected workflow.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is FradSer/dotclaude's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on dotclaude 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 dotclaude configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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

dotclaude AGENTS.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 22d 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 Codex (Codex.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Repository Overview

This is a Codex plugin marketplace (frad-dotclaude) containing 21 plugins across development and productivity categories. Each plugin follows auto-discovery conventions—place components in commands/, agents/, skills/ directories and Codex discovers them automatically.

Active plugins: git, github, refactor, swiftui, office, lark, hyperframes, plugin-optimizer, mattpocock, superpowers, antigravity, pi, interfaces, storm, hardware, autoresearch, memory

Non-active plugins: acpx, code-context, utils, meeseeks-vetted

Plugin Structure

plugin-name/
├── .Codex-plugin/plugin.json  # Manifest with commands/agents/skills/hooks
├── agents/*.md                 # Agent definitions
├── skills/skill-name/          # Skill directories
│   ├── SKILL.md               # Main skill file (required)
│   └── references/            # Detailed reference materials
├── scripts/                    # Utility scripts (bash/python)
└── examples/                   # Example configurations

Skill registration determines visibility. A skill registered under "commands" in plugin.json becomes a user-invocable slash command (e.g., /git:commit). A skill registered under "skills" is internal-only, loaded automatically when Codex needs domain knowledge but never shown in /help. Example from refactor/:

  • "commands": ["./skills/refactor/"] -- user runs /refactor:refactor
  • "skills": ["./skills/best-practices/"] -- loaded automatically during refactoring

Hooks can be inline in plugin.json. See git/.Codex-plugin/plugin.json for the PreToolUse hook pattern (runs a shell script to validate Bash tool calls before execution).

Development Workflow

Validation: Run /plugin-optimizer:optimize-plugin before committing. Alternatively:

# All checks (structure, manifest, frontmatter, tools, tokens)
python3 plugin-optimizer/scripts/validate-plugin.py <plugin-path>

# Specific checks only
python3 plugin-optimizer/scripts/validate-plugin.py <plugin-path> --check=manifest,frontmatter

# JSON output for scripting
python3 plugin-optimizer/scripts/validate-plugin.py <plugin-path> --json

# Verbose (shows passing checks too)
python3 plugin-optimizer/scripts/validate-plugin.py <plugin-path> -v

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.
