cc-plugins: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cc-plugins CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from musingfox/cc-plugins. It costs 556 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for maintaining Claude Code plugins in a marketplace repository. It explains where plugin metadata and the marketplace list live and how version changes trigger updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing a plugin, updating marketplace metadata, keeping the README current, or managing automatic and manual version bumps.
Why use it?
It prevents plugin listings, documentation, and versions from getting out of sync, which can stop updates from being detected.

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

cc-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

Claude Code Plugin Marketplace — multiple independent plugins. Plugin list lives in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.

Plugin / marketplace spec, component structure, and frontmatter fields follow the official Claude Code documentation — do not hard-code conventions here; consult the docs when in doubt.

Adding / Modifying a Plugin

  1. Follow the official plugin structure; write .claude-plugin/plugin.json.
  2. Add entry to root .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
  3. Keep root README.md in sync (plugin listing, install commands).

The hooks below live in .githooks/. Setup once per clone:

git config core.hooksPath .githooks

Commit Messages

.githooks/commit-msg enforces Conventional Commits on the subject: <type>[(scope)][!]: <description>. The plugin name is a scope, not a type — feat(spiral):, not spiral:. fixup! / squash! and git's own merge and revert subjects pass through. Commits made before the hook do not conform; leave them alone.

Version Management

Claude Code uses plugin.json version to detect updates — no bump → no cache refresh.

.githooks/pre-commit auto-bumps the patch version for every plugin whose content is in the commit, once per unpushed batch: it compares against the last pushed state, so a stack of commits before a push costs one bump per plugin, and --amend / fixup! never bump twice. The bump lands in the same commit, so one git push ships it.

Manual minor/major bump: edit plugin.json version and commit it — the hook skips any plugin whose version already differs from the pushed one.

.githooks/pre-push only guards: it refuses a push where a plugin's content changed but its version did not (a commit made with --no-verify or from a clone without core.hooksPath). .githooks/post-commit re-stages the bumped manifest after a git commit <pathspec>, which otherwise leaves the real index on the old version.

A slash command runs the installed copy, not this working tree, so a plugin edited here is not what /<plugin>:<command> loads in the session that edited it. To exercise the change now, drive the workflow from the working-tree file by hand; to exercise it as a command, push, reinstall, and start a fresh session.

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.
