Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is vibesurf-ai/claude-surf's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-surf 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-surf 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

claude-surf CLAUDE.md scanned grade A 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 10d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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

Project Overview

Claude-Surf is a Claude Code plugin that integrates with VibeSurf, exposing browser automation, AI skills, workflows, and external app integrations through a pure markdown skill system.

Key Dependency: VibeSurf server must be running on http://127.0.0.1:9335 for this plugin to function.

Architecture

Superpowers-Inspired Design

This plugin follows the superpowers architecture pattern:

  • No build system - Pure markdown skills, no compilation
  • Hook-based injection - SessionStart injects skill content
  • Frontmatter-driven - description field defines triggers
  • Direct API access - Claude calls VibeSurf HTTP API directly

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.
