dotclaude CLAUDE.md

dotclaude CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from poshan0126/dotclaude. It costs 449 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project guidance for maintaining a Claude Code plugin marketplace, written in Markdown, JSON, and shell scripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing plugins, agents, skills, rules, hooks, manifests, or marketplace validation in the dotclaude repository.
Why use it?
It records the repository’s structure, commands, design decisions, and safety rules so coding agents do not place files in the wrong locations or confuse templates with source files.

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

dotclaude 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 6d 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

dotclaude (this repo)

A Claude Code plugin marketplace: agents, skills, rules, and safety hooks, published from the top-level directories. There is no application code, build, or package manager here — everything is bash + markdown + JSON.

Commands

bash hooks/tests/run-all.sh          # run all hook fixture tests (requires jq)
claude plugin validate . --strict    # validate marketplace + plugin manifests

Architecture

  • Top-level agents/, skills/, rules/, hooks/ are the single source of truth. plugins/<name>/ dirs contain only a plugin.json plus relative symlinks into the top-level dirs (Claude Code dereferences marketplace-internal symlinks at install) — never put real component copies there. Plugin sources must NOT be "./": with the repo root as plugin root, default component discovery would load every skill/agent into every plugin.
  • CLAUDE.template.md is the template shipped to user projects by /setupdotclaude. This file (CLAUDE.md) is for working on the repo itself — don't confuse the two.
  • settings.json at the repo root is the template users copy to .claude/settings.json; it wires the hooks.

Key decisions

  • Versioning: each plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json carries semver — bump it when that plugin's components change. Marketplace entries carry NO version (plugin.json silently wins; never set both).
  • Hooks fail open (exit 0) when jq is missing, except file-protection hooks which fail closed. Hook timeout values are in seconds.
  • Agents never set model — users choose their own.

Workflow

  • Every new or modified hook MUST ship with fixtures under hooks/tests/fixtures/<hook-name>/ (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
  • After changing any manifest, skill, or agent frontmatter, run claude plugin validate . --strict.
  • Adding/renaming a skill or agent requires: marketplace entry, plugins/<name>/ (plugin.json + symlink), and the folder README.
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.
