They keep Claude Code work consistent with the project’s structure and ensure changes to skills are registered correctly.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is krzysztofsurdy/code-virtuoso's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on code-virtuoso 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 code-virtuoso 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

code-virtuoso 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 2d 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.

Code Virtuoso - Claude Code Instructions

@AGENTS.md

This file contains Claude Code specific optimizations. For general agent architecture and contribution guidelines, see the included files above.

Claude Code tool mapping

Map the generic tool categories used in agent definitions to Claude Code tools:

Generic Category Claude Code Tool
File reading Read
Code search Grep, Glob
Shell Bash
File editing Edit, Write

Skill research process

When creating a new skill in this project:

  1. Search skills.sh for existing skills: npx skills find "{topic}"
  2. Fetch skill details from skills.sh URLs to understand what others have built
  3. Search the web for official documentation, best practices, and community guides
  4. Use parallel research agents to gather information on multiple subtopics simultaneously
  5. Read existing skills in this project to match the structure and depth

Marketplace configuration

File: .claude-plugin/marketplace.json

MANDATORY: Any change to skills MUST include a marketplace.json update. This is non-negotiable.

  • When adding a new skill: update skill paths in the appropriate plugin, bump minor version
  • When updating an existing skill's content: bump patch version
  • When renaming skills, reorganizing directories, or changing plugin structure: bump major version
  • Also update README.md skill tables and repository structure when adding/renaming/moving skills
  • Only agents-virtuoso uses "source": "./" (it ships agents/ and workflows/). Every skill-only bundle uses "source": "./skills" with paths relative to it, so no bundle registers the agents twice
  • After changing an agent file, run python3 scripts/build-codex-agents.py to regenerate codex/agents/
  • Run claude plugin validate . and python3 scripts/validate-*.py before committing
  • Plugins under plugins/ (Claude Code only) have their own plugin.json that owns the plugin version. Their marketplace entry has only name, source, and description. Changing one still bumps the marketplace version.

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.
