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 | $0.00762 | $0.00762 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00305 | $0.00305 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00152 | $0.00152 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00076 | $0.00076 |
Grade A, and why
claude-plugins 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 yesterday.
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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Guidelines
Guidelines for LLMs working on this codebase.
Project Overview
This is a Claude Code plugins marketplace. It contains:
- Marketplace definition:
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json - Plugins:
plugins/<name>/directories - Validation scripts:
scripts/validate_*.py - CI workflow:
.github/workflows/validate.yml
Key Constraints
Plugin Structure
-
Each plugin needs
.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonwith:name,description,version,author
-
Skills are auto-discovered from
skills/*/SKILL.md- Do NOT add explicit
skillsarray to marketplace.json - Each SKILL.md needs frontmatter with
nameanddescription
- Do NOT add explicit
-
hooks.json format is specific:
- Must be object keyed by event name, NOT an array
- Use
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}for paths in commands
Portability
Skills in this repo are used from several coding agents and many machines, so the portable
unit is plugins/<name>/skills/<skill>/ and it must stay agent-agnostic:
SKILL.mdand bundled scripts must not name or assume a specific agent (no "Claude", "Codex",~/.claude/...paths, or agent-only features). Refer to bundled files relative to the skill directory, e.g.scripts/foo.sh.- Anything agent-specific (permission allowlists, hooks, marketplace metadata) lives outside
the skill directory: in
.claude-plugin/,hooks/, or as an adapter ininstall.sh. install.shsymlinks skills into each agent's skill directory. To support a new agent, add its parent directory to the detection list there; nothing inside a skill should change.- Scripts should need only bash and python3. If a script is OS-specific, say so in the plugin README and fail clearly on other platforms.
Validation
Always run before committing:
./scripts/validate.sh
Or run individual validators:
python3 scripts/validate_json.py
python3 scripts/validate_marketplace.py
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py
python3 scripts/validate_hooks.py
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.

claude-plugins AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository jontsai/claude-plugins (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 762 tokens to every session, about $0.0030 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
