creators-studio: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

creators-studio CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from juliandickie/creators-studio. It costs 19,740 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Project instructions for the Creators Studio codebase. They tell the agent which progress and reference files to read before making development or model-capability decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
For guiding development sessions in that repository, including work involving third-party APIs, image generation, and project planning.
Why use it?
They help keep work aligned with the repository's history, design choices, and authoritative technical documentation.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is juliandickie/creators-studio's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on creators-studio 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 creators-studio configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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 C, and why

creators-studio CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 3 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.

CLAUDE.md -- Development context for creators-studio

This file is read by Claude Code when working inside this repository.

Start every session by reading PROGRESS.md -- it has full development history, design decisions, and next steps.

Third-party API reference (workspace-level)

Full LLMS documentation for integrated and evaluated third-party APIs lives at ../dev-docs/ (workspace root, one level above this repo). Always check ../CLAUDE.md's dev-docs inventory BEFORE updating prompt-engineering references, answering model-capability questions, or planning an empirical spike - the authoritative answer is often already pinned locally.

Specifically:

  • ../dev-docs/nano-banana-image-generation.md is the official Google Gemini 3.1 Flash Image prompting guide. Consult it before editing skills/create-image/references/prompt-engineering.md or making any claim about Gemini 3.1 behaviour. Spike 6 in v3.7.3 would have been unnecessary if this file had been read first - the "describe the scene, don't list keywords" rule was already in the official guide.
  • ../dev-docs/google-nano-banana-2-llms.md is the Replicate model card confirming the Replicate google/nano-banana-2 is the same gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview model as the direct Gemini API path.
  • ../dev-docs/elevenlabs-best-practices.md is the condensed ElevenLabs prompt-engineering guide - consult before tuning narration tags or voice design prompts.

Other files in dev-docs/ cover ElevenLabs (full API), Google ADK (reference only - not adopted), Replicate (OpenAPI schema + MCP server install guide), and ByteDance Seedance 2.0 (v3.8.0 bake-off candidate). Most are large - query via Explore subagent, not Read. The full inventory and when-to-consult table is the single source of truth in ../CLAUDE.md - do not duplicate it here.

What this repo is

creators-studio is a Claude Code plugin that enables AI image generation using Google's Gemini Nano Banana models via MCP. Claude acts as a Creative Director: it interprets intent, selects domain expertise, constructs optimized prompts, and orchestrates Gemini API calls.

Changes

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.
