dotclaude CLAUDE.md

dotclaude CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from FradSer/dotclaude. It costs 1,129 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, describing the project, its plugin layout, development workflow, and required checks. It also explains where commands, agents, skills, and scripts belong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Orienting work in a Claude Code plugin marketplace, adding or updating plugins, and checking repository-specific requirements.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant and contributors shared instructions, so they can find project components and follow the expected development process.

Instructions file

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

Install

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

dotclaude 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.

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

Repository Overview

This is a Claude Code 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 Claude 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/
├── .claude-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 Claude 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/.claude-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.
