In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It keeps related plugins in one marketplace and scopes them to individual repositories, helping avoid loading unnecessary instructions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is queelius/claude-anvil's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-anvil 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-anvil configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

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 B, and why

claude-anvil CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

A Claude Code plugin marketplace named queelius-plugins (the name in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json; the GitHub repo is queelius/claude-anvil). All plugins are distributed as a single git repo. Most plugins are Markdown with YAML frontmatter; vista (Python, pytest via uv) and kdp's MCP server (TypeScript, vitest via npm) carry real code and tests, and worldsmith/bookwright have hook scripts with shell and pytest suites. CI (.github/workflows/validate.yml) runs all of them plus scripts/check-plugins.py.

Install: /plugin marketplace add queelius/claude-anvil Install a plugin: /plugin install repoindex@queelius-plugins

Plugin Dir Purpose
papermill papermill/ Academic paper lifecycle: thesis, lit survey, experiment, review, venue, submission
worldsmith worldsmith/ Documentation-first fiction worldbuilding (the "Silmarillion approach")
pub-pipeline pub-pipeline/ Publication workflows: R/CRAN/JOSS, Python/PyPI
mf mf/ Metafunctor site management: CLI workflows over the Hugo site

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.
