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

prompt-mini 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 — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

prompt-mini

A Claude Code plugin that intercepts vague prompts via a UserPromptSubmit hook, classifies the user's skill level, asks at most 5 targeted questions, then forges a structured prompt tailored to the detected framework and task type — before Claude Code executes anything.


What this repo is

This is the source repository for the prompt-mini Claude Code plugin. It is not a web app, not a CLI tool, and not a library. It is a plugin that installs into Claude Code and modifies how prompts are processed at the hook level.

How the plugin works

User types a prompt
       ↓
evaluate-prompt.py runs (UserPromptSubmit hook)
       ↓
Bypass? (* / # prefix) → pass through unchanged
Too short? (<12 chars)  → pass through unchanged
Clear prompt?           → pass through, inject prompt as additionalContext
Vague prompt?           → inject evaluation wrapper → prompt-mini skill fires
       ↓
Skill: scan project files → classify skill level → load matching stack sections
       ↓
Ask ≤5 questions → assemble forged prompt → deliver as single copyable block

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.
