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

claude-plugins 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 2mo 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.

Repository Overview

This is a personal Claude Code plugins marketplace repository following a granular, composable architecture. The project is currently in early development stage - the plugin infrastructure and documentation exist, but the actual plugins are not yet implemented.

Architecture Philosophy

Core Principles

  • Single Responsibility: Each plugin does one thing well (Unix philosophy)
  • Composability: Mix and match plugins based on needs rather than forced bundling
  • Context Efficiency: Smaller, focused tools for better LLM performance
  • Progressive Disclosure: Skills use three-tier architecture (metadata → instructions → resources)

Target Structure

The repository is designed to support:

  • Specialized Agents: Domain experts with deep knowledge, model-optimized (Haiku/Sonnet)
  • Workflow Orchestrators: Multi-agent coordination systems for complex operations
  • Development Tools: Project scaffolding, security scanning, test generation utilities
  • Agent Skills: Modular knowledge packages following Anthropic's Agent Skills Specification

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.
