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-code-sdlc 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 4d 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-code-sdlc — Development Instructions

What This Is

A Claude Code plugin that orchestrates the full SDLC lifecycle using company-configurable profiles. It makes the AI-SDLC methodology executable within Claude Code.

Architecture

  • plugin.json — Plugin manifest (entry point for Claude Code)
  • SKILL.md — Main skill definition (loaded when plugin activates)
  • commands/ — 26 slash commands (/sdlc, /sdlc-setup, /sdlc-status, /sdlc-next, /sdlc-gate, /sdlc-enhance, /sdlc-coach, /sdlc-review, /sdlc-intake, /sdlc-brief, /sdlc-spec, /sdlc-phase-report, /sdlc-audit, /sdlc-feature, /sdlc-experience, /sdlc-data, /sdlc-rules, /sdlc-channel, /sdlc-evals, /sdlc-harness, /sdlc-upgrade, /sdlc-revise, /sdlc-audit-artifacts, /sdlc-version, /sdlc-refresh, /sdlc-retro)
  • agents/ — 13 agents (orchestrator, requirements-analyst, compliance-checker, section-evaluator, narrative-enhancer, gate-repair, multi-reviewer, discovery-analyst, feature-architect, visual-designer, conversation-designer, data-analyst, bizreq-analyst)
  • channels/ — Cross-profile channel descriptor library (_schema.yaml, ag-ui.yaml, voice.yaml, chat.yaml) — the delivery-surface vocabulary the channel layer reads
  • profiles/ — Company/stack YAML configs with compliance gates
  • phases/ — Phase definitions (9 phases: 0, 1, 2, 3 Foundation, build loop, 7, 8, 9, close). The 4/5/6 gap is intentional — the batch Implementation/Quality/Testing phases are replaced by the continuous Build loop. Phase identity/ordering is owned by scripts/phase_model.py reading phases/phase-registry.yaml.
  • references/ — Progressive disclosure docs (loaded on-demand)
  • templates/ — Artifact templates copied to target projects
  • scripts/ — Python automation (uv runtime)
  • hooks/ — PowerShell hooks for session/phase context injection

Conventions

  • Profile YAML validated against profiles/_schema.yaml
  • Phase definitions use RFC 2119 keywords (MUST/SHOULD/MAY)
  • Scripts use Python 3.12+ via uv
  • State tracked in target project's .sdlc/state.yaml

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.
