Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is ory/claude-plugins's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-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 claude-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

claude-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.

What it actually says

Available Plugins

Plugin Description Repository
lumen Precise local semantic code search via MCP ory/lumen

How It Works

This repository contains a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json that acts as a registry pointing Claude Code to Ory plugin repositories. Each plugin's metadata (version, description, keywords, etc.) is defined in the plugin's own plugin.json — this marketplace only references them by source.

Versioning

Plugin versions are managed in their respective repositories. For example, lumen uses release-please to bump the version in its plugin.json on each release. The marketplace always resolves to the latest version on the plugin's default branch.

Adding a New Plugin

Add an entry to the plugins array in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json:

{
  "name": "your-plugin",
  "source": {
    "source": "url",
    "url": "https://github.com/ory/your-plugin.git"
  }
}

Use "source": "url" with a full HTTPS URL. The "source": "github" shorthand is not supported by the Claude Code plugin installer and will cause SSH authentication failures for users without GitHub SSH keys configured.

The plugin repository must contain a .claude-plugin/plugin.json with the full plugin metadata.

Changes

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.
