transmute-framework: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

transmute-framework CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from VoxTechnologies/transmute-framework. It costs 1,419 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for working on Transmute, a Claude Code plugin whose markdown prompts and shell hook drive a 25-stage process from business plan to deployed product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the plugin: identify the right stage, run that stage in a test project, and verify the edited layout and documented commands.
Why use it?
They explain the repository’s structure, commands, and rules so edits can be checked correctly without looking for a build system or application source code.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

This is VoxTechnologies/transmute-framework's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on transmute-framework 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 transmute-framework 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

transmute-framework 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 15d 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.

CLAUDE.md

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

What this repository is

A Claude Code plugin, not an application. Every file is markdown prompt engineering plus one bash hook script. No source code, no package.json, no build step, no dependency install, no automated test suite.

The plugin drives a 26-stage pipeline (23 automated skills, Stage 5V as a mode of one of them, one automated check (Stage 4) and one stage that is manual by default (Stage 7)) that turns a business plan into a deployed product. Its doctrine is the Full-Build Approach: every feature in the plan gets built, and P0→P3 sets build order, never build scope. Reject any edit that introduces MVP-style deferral, phasing, or feature cutting.

The plugin is named transmuter; the repo and framework are named "Transmute". Commands are therefore /transmuter:cast and /transmuter:<stage>. That mismatch shipped as a user-facing bug in v3.0.0 — every documented command matched no installed plugin until v3.0.1 fixed it.

Commands

Run scripts/conformance.sh (static, seconds) after any change, and scripts/conformance.sh --live before a release — it loads the plugin with claude -p in a temp directory and checks routing and the gate hook. examples/sample-plan/ is the fixture business plan; scripts/trial-run.sh <dir> <stage>... runs it end to end and records usage (see examples/sample-plan/README.md, and set ACCEPT_ASSUMPTIONS=1 for the fixture). To validate a change by hand:

# Load the plugin for one session, from inside a test project directory
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/transmute-framework
# Then run the stage you edited
/transmuter:cast <stage-name>     # e.g. /transmuter:cast brd
/transmuter:<stage-name>          # equivalent direct form

A test project needs a business plan at plancasting/businessplan/*.md (or .pdf). Stage 0 (tech-stack) must run before Stage 1, since the prerequisite hook and most skills read plancasting/tech-stack.md.

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.
