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-specs 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 7d 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

agent-specs

This repo is a Claude Code plugin marketplace. Each plugin under plugins/<name>/ bundles some combination of skills, commands, MCP servers, hooks, and agents.

Keep plugin READMEs in sync

Every plugin's README.md must accurately list all the elements the plugin currently contains — skills, commands, MCP servers, hooks, agents, or anything else it ships. Whenever you add, remove, or rename any of these inside a plugin (e.g. a new skill directory under plugins/<name>/skills/, a new command under plugins/<name>/commands/, a hook, an MCP server, an agent), update that plugin's README.md in the same change so it never drifts from what's actually in the plugin directory.

Keep the root README in sync

The root README.md plugins table must list every plugin declared in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Whenever a plugin is added, removed, or renamed in the marketplace manifest, update the root README.md table to match.

Keep plugin descriptions in sync

Each plugin declares its description in two places: its own plugin.json (or .claude-plugin/plugin.json) and its entry in the root .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. The CLI reads the description from marketplace.json, so both must always carry the same text. Whenever you change a plugin's description, update it in both files.

Formatting tables

After editing any markdown table in this repo, use the code:autofix-markdown-tables skill to keep columns properly padded and aligned. It runs this repo's md:fix-tables task.

Markdown linting

Every .md file is linted with markdownlint-cli2 (config in .markdownlint-cli2.yaml), and the Markdown workflow enforces it in CI. After editing markdown, run:

task md:checkstyle   # lint only
task md:fixstyle     # align tables, then apply autofixable lint rules
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.
