Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is Ovid/paad's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on paad 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 paad configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is sed -E 's#(src="|\]\()images/#\1../images/#g' README.md | pandoc -f gfm -t html5 -s --metadata title="README preview" -c https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/.

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

paad 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 15d 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 this project is

This is a Claude Code plugin marketplace hosted at github.com/Ovid/paad. It distributes the paad plugin, which provides skills for architecture analysis, code quality, and development workflows.

After this file is read, announce "CLAUDE.md loaded."

Also, address me as "Ovid" for further verification that you have read this file.

Project structure

preview/paad/ is where all new work lands; plugins/paad/ is what the marketplace distributes, and it is written only by promotion — see "The two trees" below. Everything else is scaffolding around them. paad/code-reviews/ is committed output from paad's own skills. .claude/skills/ holds project-local skills, which the marketplace does not carry but the npx installer does look in; the only thing keeping them out of an npx install is the internal: true flag documented under "Project-local skills" below. package.json is Pi's package manifest, not a Node one — this is not a JS project; it carries the version and the pi.skills path, and nothing else.

kiro_and_antigravity/ and pi/ are produced from plugins/paad/ by make export — from the shipped tree only, so preview work does not reach them until it is promoted. Everything in them is generated — edit the source or the generator, never the output. README deprecates copying straight out of kiro_and_antigravity/ in favor of npx skills@latest add Ovid/paad, but the route still works and is still documented, so a stale export on main is wrong content shipped to real users.

The two trees

Merging used to ship. npx skills@latest add Ovid/paad clones main and takes what is there — plugin.json's version field does not gate it — so anything merged before it had been driven for real reached users, and keeping it away from them meant keeping it off main. Long-lived branches were the tax, and they made releases hard.

preview/paad/ fixes that by making main safe to merge into:

preview/paad/                 all new work lands here; always ahead of, or equal to, plugins/
plugins/paad/                 what ships; written only by promotion, never hand-edited
kiro_and_antigravity/, pi/    generated from plugins/ only

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.
