Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is Jartan-LLC/grimoire's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on grimoire 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 grimoire configures →

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

grimoire 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Grimoire

A Claude Code plugin marketplace. Each plugin lives in plugins/<name>/ with a .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest and a mirrored entry in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.

Rules

Always

  • Pure ASCII in every tracked file. No em-dashes, smart quotes, arrows, box-drawing, accented letters, or other non-ASCII. Use the ASCII equivalents: -- (em-dash), -> / <- / <-> (arrows), >= <= != (comparators), x (times), ^2 (superscript), ... (ellipsis), plain ' and " (quotes), and | ` - for directory trees. Applies to prose, code fences, JSON descriptions, and hook scripts alike.
  • Read README.md and RELEASING.md before changing plugin structure or versioning
  • Version lives only in plugin.json; bump it on any content change under plugins/<name>/ (marketplace entries carry no version -- see RELEASING.md)
  • Declare a plugin dependency for every cross-plugin skill an agent loads in its frontmatter skills: (a hard, resolve-or-fail load like gitwise:github-conventions); a prose see plugin:skill pointer is soft and needs none
  • Update the affected READMEs and skills alongside any change
  • Executable code earns tests by one rule -- pure input, silent-wrong output -- and hook entry points earn a process contract; CONTRIBUTING.md holds the rule, the runners, the layout and the CI wiring
  • Reviewer agents tier findings with the review-severity skill; agents name their lens and reference skills -- they do not restate a skill's rules (agents = role, skills = knowledge; see claudivis:claude-config)

Anti-patterns

  • Don't restate a referenced skill's rules or examples inside an agent or command -- point to the skill
  • Don't speculate about a fix -- investigate first, then propose
  • Don't hardcode derived counts in prose -- they drift silently

Ask first

  • Changing a plugin's public surface (command/agent/skill names) or a skill's severity mapping
  • Deleting files or removing a plugin or feature

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.
