agent-alchemy: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agent-alchemy CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from sequenzia/agent-alchemy. It costs 4,774 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Agent Alchemy, a monorepo—a single repository containing several related projects—that extends Claude Code with plugins, a task dashboard, and a VS Code extension.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on its Claude Code plugins, code-analysis tools, test-driven development workflows, Git tools, dashboard, and editor extension.
Why use it?
They explain the repository layout and development conventions so an assistant can work in the right part of the larger codebase.

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 sequenzia/agent-alchemy's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-alchemy 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 agent-alchemy 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 A, and why

agent-alchemy 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 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.
