claude-plugins CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from lucasnad27/claude-plugins. It costs 271 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
They explain how to test a local plugin without accidentally using an already-installed copy, and how to validate or install it safely.

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

claude-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.

What it actually says

claude-plugins

Marketplace repo. Each plugin under plugins/ versions independently. Releases go through .claude/skills/cut-a-release.

Testing a plugin before you release it

Load the working tree directly for one session — no marketplace entry, no config changes:

claude plugin disable <plugin-name> --scope user
cd /path/to/a/real/test/repo
claude --plugin-dir ~/dev/claude-plugins/plugins/<plugin-name>

Re-enable with claude plugin enable <plugin-name> when done.

--plugin-dir takes the plugin directory (the one holding .claude-plugin/plugin.json), not the repo root. It loads alongside installed plugins, which is why the disable is not optional: a --plugin-dir copy whose name matches an installed plugin is shadowed by the installed one with no warning — you get the released version and think you're testing main.

claude plugin validate <path> --strict checks manifests without starting a session.

For a persistent local install instead, claude plugin marketplace add ~/dev/claude-plugins works, but the marketplace name comes from marketplace.json and collides with the GitHub-sourced one already registered. Remove that first.

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.
