What is claude-code-hermit AGENTS.md?

A repository instruction guide for developing and maintaining the claude-code-hermit project. It describes the project structure, plugin rules, development checks, and commit and release practices.

Use it when editing this repository, especially its independently versioned plugins, manifests, documentation, tests, or release files.

It gives a coding agent the local rules it must follow before changing plugins, reducing accidental architectural or workflow violations.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01477	$0.01477
Opus 5	$0.00739	$0.00739
Sonnet 5	$0.00295	$0.00295
Haiku 4.5	$0.00148	$0.00148

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-hermit 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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repository guidelines

Before changing a plugin, read its plugins/<slug>/AGENTS.md. Load only the guides for the work in scope. Local guides add constraints to these repository rules; detailed inventories and procedures belong in READMEs, docs, or skills. Keep AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md independently readable, with no extra instruction-file hop between harnesses.

Repository and architecture

Seven independently versioned Claude Code plugins live under plugins/<slug>/, each owning its manifest, code, templates, tests, and changelog. .claude-plugin/marketplace.json is the sole catalog; README.md is the marketplace overview.
Hermit runs continuously inside Claude Code. Evaluate features for downstream chat operators, not only this repository's development workflow. Check native harness capabilities before adding a competing mechanism.
Domain plugins depend on core. Core discovers siblings generically from metadata; it must not import siblings, hardcode their slugs in logic, or branch on their installation. Siblings use core commands with an appropriate version floor instead of importing core code. Preserve ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/../*/.claude-plugin/plugin.json discovery.
Domain plugin skills/, agents/, state-templates/, and docs/ carry core-facing terminology; sweep them when core wording changes.
Keep required_core_version and requires in .claude-plugin/hermit-meta.json synchronized with plugin.json dependencies. Internal hermit.* extensions belong in hermit-meta.json. Raise min_claude_code_version when relying on newer host behavior; do not add old-host shims.

Authoring contracts

Keep schemas, permissions, hook protocols, and command interfaces strict; keep operator-authored content flexible and upgrade-safe. Features default on except those requiring credentials/configuration, real per-invocation spend, or destructive actions. Cover new and existing installations.
Skills state the present inputs, goal, workflow, and result. Keep history in changelogs or code comments and branch-specific detail in referenced sibling files. Use fully namespaced plugin agent references.
Hook stdout, tool output, and skill-driven reads enter operator context. Use scripts for deterministic work and bounded log/database summaries; do not ask the model to read unbounded state or reproduce calculations.
state-templates/CLAUDE-APPEND.md is installed product content, separate from development instructions. Describe behavior there without restating config values such as schedules, channel IDs, identity, or mode flags.
Core's scripts/domain-hatch.ts and lib/domain-hatch/ own target resolution and state/hatch-options.json. Consumers use domain-hatch preflight, ensure-target, and sync-block; read those contracts before changing routing.
Before changing plugin storage or routine registration, read the storage contract or routine authoring, respectively.

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.
