CLAUDE.md

Version-Sentinel CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from KSEGIT/Version-Sentinel. It costs 1,275 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Version Sentinel, a Claude Code plugin that blocks dependency changes until a recent, source-cited version check is recorded. It supports several AI coding environments and package ecosystems.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
They reduce the risk of using outdated, hallucinated, or compromised package versions by requiring evidence from the relevant package registry.

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is KSEGIT/Version-Sentinel's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Version-Sentinel 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 Version-Sentinel 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

Version-Sentinel CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Version Sentinel

Claude Code plugin that hard-blocks dependency additions, bumps, and downgrades until a fresh, source-cited version check is recorded. Multi-agent: ships adapters for Claude Code (also covers z.ai GLM Coding Plan / ZCode, which reuse the Claude Code plugin format), Kimi Code, GitHub Copilot (VS Code), Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, and Zed.

Project structure

.claude-plugin/       Plugin + marketplace metadata (plugin.json, marketplace.json)
plugin.json           Claude Code plugin manifest
hooks/hooks.json      Hook definitions, Claude Code/Codex schema (SessionStart, PreToolUse, PostToolUse)
hooks/codex-hooks.json   Same wiring, one handler per group, no `if` — OpenAI Codex
                      ignores `if` and would otherwise run all 10 gated handlers
hooks/gemini-hooks.json  Gemini CLI hook definitions (SessionStart startup, BeforeTool, AfterTool) — separate because Claude's plugin loader rejects Gemini keys in hooks/hooks.json; Gemini only auto-loads hooks/hooks.json, so point/copy this file on Gemini install (upstream: google-gemini/gemini-cli#25630)
scripts/              Bash scripts executed by hooks (prereq-check, detect-manifest-edit, detect-install-cmd, auto-record)

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.
