assistant-plugins: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

assistant-plugins CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from orq-ai/assistant-plugins. It costs 3,572 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for maintaining the orq-ai/assistant-plugins project. They explain Semantic Versioning, where versions are stored, and how plugin manifests and changelog entries must be updated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or removing skills or commands, changing plugin behavior, updating versions, writing changelog entries, and validating manifests.
Why use it?
They prevent the four plugin manifest versions from getting out of sync and clarify which changes require patch, minor, or major version bumps.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions Claude Code.

This is orq-ai/assistant-plugins's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on assistant-plugins itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything assistant-plugins configures →

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

assistant-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 17d 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.

Versioning

This repo follows Semantic Versioning. Version is tracked in 4 plugin manifests that must stay in sync:

  • plugin.json — portable Agent Plugins 1.0.0 manifest
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json
  • .codex-plugin/plugin.json
  • .cursor-plugin/plugin.json

When to bump

Change Bump
Bug fix, typo, small doc tweak PATCH (0.0.x)
New skill, new command, backward-compatible capability MINOR (0.x.0)
Skill removed/renamed, breaking frontmatter change, MCP server URL change MAJOR (x.0.0)

Exception: removing shipped content that was never the canonical surface (e.g. stale duplicates tracked outside skills/) is a PATCH, not MAJOR — cleanup is not a breaking change.

How to bump

  1. Run tests/scripts/set-version.sh X.Y.Z — it updates version in all 4 plugin.json files (same value). This is the only place a version is edited; the git tag/release is created from it on merge.
  2. Add an entry to CHANGELOG.md under a new ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD heading. Use ### Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed sections.
  3. Run tests/scripts/validate-plugin-manifests.sh — passes.
  4. Commit with message: chore: bump version to X.Y.Z.

Releases

Merging to main runs .github/workflows/release.yml: it creates GitHub release v<version> from root plugin.json, with the matching CHANGELOG.md section as notes. No version bump means no release. The CHANGELOG entry (step 2 above) is therefore required, and skills-ci fails a PR without one. orq-trace (marketplace.json) is not released separately.

When to bump: in the same PR as the change, whenever it alters shipped content (skills/, manifests, mcp.json, commands). Merging that PR is the release, so bump once per PR, never in a follow-up commit on main. Skip the bump for changes that ship nothing (CI, tests/, maintainer docs like this file); they merge without a release.

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.
