Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is kossakovsky/cc-plugins's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cc-plugins 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 cc-plugins 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

cc-plugins 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 1mo 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Community marketplace of plugins for Claude Code. Plugins are installed via:

/plugin marketplace add kossakovsky/cc-plugins
/plugin install <plugin-name>@cc-plugins

Validation

CI runs on push to main/develop and on PRs to main (.github/workflows/validate-plugins.yml):

  • Validates marketplace.json structure and required fields
  • Validates each plugin's plugin.json (valid JSON, required fields, kebab-case name)
  • Checks for duplicate plugin names
  • Verifies plugin directories and README.md exist

Local validation for plugin development:

/plugin-development:validate

Note: plugins/plugin-development/scripts/validate-plugin.sh is a hook script invoked automatically on Write/Edit — it cannot be run standalone.

PR review is automated via Claude Code GitHub App (auto-reviews all PRs using instructions below).

Architecture

Marketplace Registry

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json — central registry listing all plugins. Each entry requires: name, source (relative path like ./plugins/<name>), description, version. Optional: author.name, category, tags, keywords.

Plugin Structure

Each plugin lives in plugins/<name>/ and must contain:

  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json — manifest with required fields: name (kebab-case), version, description
  • README.md — documentation

Optional component directories:

  • commands/ — slash commands as .md files with YAML frontmatter (description field recommended)
  • skills/ — skill definitions
  • agents/ — sub-agent definitions as .md files
  • hooks/ — hooks configuration (hooks.json)

Current Plugins

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.
