claude-plugins: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-plugins CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from smk-labs/claude-plugins. It costs 787 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for maintaining a marketplace repository where each Claude plugin lives in its own top-level folder and is listed in a marketplace file.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide plugin installation, desktop registration, repository layout, testing from the checkout, cleanup, and committing changes.
Why use it?
They prevent installations from using stale local copies or incorrect paths instead of the single remote source.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is smk-labs/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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

claude-plugins

The marketplace repo for my plugins. One plugin per folder at the repo root, listed once in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. There is no plugins/ directory, and a path that assumes one 404s silently: readable's CDN line carried @main/plugins/readable/assets/rc.css for a year and only ever showed up as an unstyled card.

One source, always the remote

Every machine and every Claude surface installs these plugins from the remote marketplace, https://github.com/smk-labs/claude-plugins.git. A second copy anywhere means two versions, and the stale one wins half the time.

So never leave any of these behind:

  • a skill copied into ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ or a command into ~/.claude/commands/<name>.md when a plugin here already ships it
  • a marketplace registered with source: directory pointing at this checkout
  • claude plugin install from a local path
  • a dev override in the Claude desktop config (for readable, an mcpServers.readable-card entry whose path points into this checkout instead of ~/.claude/plugins/data/readable/server/server.js)

A plugin here MAY register itself with the desktop app on first session, because installing a plugin should be the whole setup. readable does. But an auto-write earns that only by satisfying all four of these, and readable's hooks/connect.sh is the worked example plus the tests:

  • every profile, not one. A hook that knows a single config path leaves the other profiles diverged, which is what drives people to hand-copy whole configs between profiles and spread live API tokens doing it.
  • one backup per config, ever. Not one per write, or a config full of tokens accumulates copies of itself.
  • say it once. The write is useless until the app restarts, so a silent write leaves a user with no feature and no explanation.
  • an opt-out that holds. Removal must survive the next session, or removal is not a thing the user can do.

Plus the precondition that makes it safe at all: being registered must not imply being able to act. readable's server refuses to offer its card tool to a host that cannot render one, so registering it in a profile that cannot use it costs nothing.

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.
