agentic-plugins: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agentic-plugins CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from theagenticguy/agentic-plugins. It costs 1,213 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for a marketplace that contains multiple Claude Code add-ons, called plugins. It explains the repository layout and the difference between the tools used by the coding agent and the tools documented by those plugins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing plugins, skills, agent definitions, marketplace metadata, or shared development tooling in the repository. A marketplace is a catalog where these add-ons are registered and maintained.
Why use it?
It prevents contributors from putting instructions in the wrong place or referring to similarly named tools incorrectly. It also keeps project guidance separate from the plugin files that are shipped.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is theagenticguy/agentic-plugins's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agentic-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 agentic-plugins 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

agentic-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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agentic-plugins

Development context for the agentic-plugins repo. This CLAUDE.md is project-level memory for when you're editing the marketplace — it is NOT shipped as a plugin component. Plugin instructions go into SKILL.md files and agent system prompts.

Repo Structure

This repo is a Claude Code plugin marketplace at the root, hosting multiple plugins under plugins/ as sibling directories. Each plugin versions independently.

.claude-plugin/
  marketplace.json       # Marketplace registry — lists every plugin
plugins/
  agentic-skills/        # Flagship plugin
    .claude-plugin/plugin.json
    .mcp.json            # Bundled MCP servers (context7, deepwiki, brave, tavily, exa, you, awsknowledge)
    skills/              # Skill reference files (the core content)

Harness tool names — do not confuse

Two separate tool families with similar names. Skills authored here must reference the correct one.

  • Agent — spawns a subagent. Parameters: subagent_type, prompt, description, model, run_in_background, isolation. No Stop/Output siblings — backgrounded agents auto-notify on completion. Stuck-recovery pattern is "launch a fresh Agent with a skip-completed-sections prompt," not kill-and-resume.
  • TaskCreate / TaskUpdate / TaskList / TaskGet / TaskStop — the todo-list tools. Track multi-step work, mark items in_progress / completed, wire addBlockedBy dependencies. Do NOT spawn subagents.

No roadmap or migration commentary in skill files

SKILL.md, agent definitions, and everything under references/ / templates/ ship as prompt content. Do NOT include forward-looking notes, migration history, authoring roadmap (TODO/FIXME), or meta-commentary about the skill's own state. That belongs in the PR description or a CHANGELOG — never in a file Claude reads as instructions. It costs tokens on every load and rots the moment the referenced work lands or gets dropped.

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.
