CLAUDE.md

kana-code-plugins CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Linaqruf/kana-code-plugins. It costs 1,626 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for maintaining a Claude Code plugin marketplace, which contains five plugins and their marketplace manifest.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing plugin versions, descriptions, ignore rules, or release checks. They also describe how to validate a clean Git export before pushing changes.
Why use it?
They record rules learned from earlier bugs, helping maintainers keep plugin metadata synchronized and verify the files that will actually be shipped.

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

kana-code-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 22d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

kana-code-plugins — maintainer instructions

Claude Code plugin marketplace (5 plugins under plugins/, manifest at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json). These rules are incident-proven — each one exists because its violation shipped or nearly shipped a bug.

Hard rules

  1. plugin.json and marketplace.json stay byte-identical on version AND description for every plugin. Compare programmatically (-ceq), don't eyeball. They have drifted before.
  2. Ship-verification runs against the COMMITTED tree, never the working tree: git cat-file -e HEAD:<path> for must-exist files, and git archive HEAD → temp dir → claude plugin validate (+ marketplace --strict) before any push. A working-tree validate once passed while the entry-point file was silently gitignored out of the commit (PR #35), and a clean-export validate caught broken agent frontmatter (PR #36).
  3. The root .gitignore spec rules (/SPEC.md, /SPEC/, /spec/, /specs/, /prompt.md, /dev/) are root-anchored ON PURPOSE — never widen them back to **/ patterns. Unanchored patterns match every directory, case-insensitively on Windows, and silently swallowed plugin source once. Corollary: root SPEC.md/prompt.md are RESERVED, ignored output slots for kana-spec runs on this repo — never commit tracked files at those paths. A kana-spec run here may also offer to UPDATE root CLAUDE.md — this maintainer file, which IS tracked — so review that diff before accepting.
  4. docs/ is local-only (listed in .git/info/exclude) — design docs and review logs live there and are never committed.
  5. Validation gates before any plugin PR: claude plugin validate <plugin-dir> and claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/marketplace.json --strict must pass clean — from the clean export per rule 2. Agent/skill frontmatter is YAML: an unquoted : inside a description silently drops ALL frontmatter at runtime; use folded block scalars (>-) for long descriptions.
  6. Stage by exact path (git add plugins/<name> .claude-plugin/...) — never git add -A / commit -a. Unrelated working-tree state must not ride along in a plugin PR.

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.
