fsociety CLAUDE.md

A `CLAUDE.md` guide for fsociety, a marketplace containing Claude Code plugins for penetration testing, which is authorized security testing. It explains the repository layout and plugin structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Explaining fsociety’s architecture, marketplace registry, plugin folders, plugin files, build assumptions, and requirements such as Claude Code, MCP support, Kali Linux, and Node.js.
Why use it?
Contributors need to know that the repository is a plugin marketplace rather than a regular Node.js application. The guide documents its files, requirements, and organization.

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

fsociety CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 2 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 2d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

### curl / wget — BLOCKED

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

- **Zero dependencies**: All scripts use only Node.js built-ins (`fs`, `path`, `crypto`, `child_process`)

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

fsociety is a multi-plugin marketplace for Claude Code offensive security plugins. Each plugin is a self-contained toolkit targeting a specific domain of penetration testing. The repo itself is NOT a Node.js application — there is no build step, no package.json, no test suite.

Requirements: Claude Code with MCP support, Kali Linux with Hexstrike MCP server, Node.js 18+.

Repository Architecture

This is a Claude Code plugin marketplace. The root contains the marketplace registry and individual plugin directories:

  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — Plugin registry listing all available plugins with their source directories
  • Each plugin directory (e.g., elliot/) is a self-contained Claude Code plugin with its own plugin.json, CLAUDE.md, commands, skills, agents, scripts, and hooks

Plugin Anatomy

Every plugin follows this structure:

plugin-name/
├── plugin.json           # Plugin definition (name, version, skills, agents)
├── CLAUDE.md             # Plugin-specific guidance for Claude Code
├── .gitignore            # Ignores runtime data files
├── commands/*.md         # Slash commands with YAML frontmatter
├── skills/*/SKILL.md     # Auto-activating skills with references/
├── agents/*.md           # Agent definitions with YAML frontmatter
├── scripts/*.js          # Node.js scripts (zero npm deps, stdlib only)
└── hooks/hooks.json      # Lifecycle hooks wiring scripts to events

Marketplace Registration

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json is the index. To register a plugin, add an entry to the plugins array:

{
  "name": "plugin-name",
  "description": "What it does.",
  "source": "./plugin-name/",
  "author": { "name": "author-name" }
}

Plugin JSON Schema

Each plugin's plugin.json:

{
  "name": "plugin-name",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "...",
  "author": { "name": "..." },
  "skills": ["./skills/", "./commands/"],
  "agents": ["./agents/agent-name.md"],
  "license": "MIT",
  "keywords": ["security", "pentest"]
}

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.
