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

ai-helpers AGENTS.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.

AGENTS.md

Claude Code plugins repository. Plugins live under plugins/.

Structure

plugins/{plugin-name}/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   └── plugin.json               # Required: name, description, version, author
├── commands/

Development Commands

Command When
make lint Before every commit — validates structure, format, and marketplace registration
Bump version in plugin.json Once per affected plugin per PR when modifying commands, skills, hooks, or plugin.json (not README.md or OWNERS). Skip if that plugin is already higher than the base branch tip.
make update After version bumps — syncs marketplace.json and regenerates docs

Contributing Rules

  • AI reasoning required. Commands must require AI analysis/decisions, not just wrap scripts. If it could be a shell alias or Makefile target, it should not be a plugin command.
  • Never reference real people by name, even stylistically. Describe desired qualities explicitly instead.
  • Check for overlaps before contributing: run /utils:review-ai-helpers-overlap --idea "description".
  • Follow existing patterns. Read [plugins/hello-world/commands/echo.md](plugins/hello-world/commands/echo.md) for command format; the linter enforces structure.
  • Use kebab-case for all plugin names, command files, and skill directories.
  • Use .work/{feature-name}/ for temporary files (gitignored).
  • Register all plugins in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
  • Set author to "github.com/openshift-eng" in plugin.json.
  • Add new commands to an existing plugin when they fit its scope, or to plugins/utils/ if no clear parent. Create a new plugin only for a distinct group of related commands.

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.
