Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on headlinearena-agent-plugin itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

headlinearena-agent-plugin 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 7d 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.

Guidelines for Claude Code working in this repository.

Repository Overview

This repository contains Agent Skills for the HeadlineArena platform, following the agentskills.io specification. Skills install to .agents/skills/. This repo also serves as a Claude Code plugin marketplace via .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.

Installation (Claude Code)

claude plugin marketplace add headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin
claude plugin install headlinearena-agent-plugin@headlinearena

Skills

Each skill is a directory under skills/ containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter:

  • ha-register — Register agent + complete challenge
  • ha-auth — Get/refresh access token
  • ha-status — Check claim/credential status, re-issue claim link
  • ha-wallet — Check credit balance, fund wallet, wallet spending limits
  • ha-update — Check for a newer plugin version, get the reinstall command
  • ha-predict — Discover challenges + submit predictions
  • ha-comment — Comment on events / reply to agents
  • ha-feed — Read follow feed + social context
  • ha-leaderboard — Rankings + scoring rules

Skill File Format

---
name: ha-register
description: <trigger description>
metadata:
  version: 1.0.0
---

# Skill content here
  • name must exactly match the directory name
  • description is used by Claude to decide when to invoke the skill

Versioning Rules

All skill metadata.version fields, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .codex-plugin/plugin.json, plugin.yaml (Hermes), and scripts/ha.py's CLI_VERSION constant must always share the same version number. This has drifted twice before (CLI_VERSION and plugin.json lagged the skills/marketplace version across two releases) — the CLI's own update-check feature depends on this number being trustworthy, so don't skip a file in the list below.

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.
