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

project-init 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.

Project Context

Overview

project-init is a Claude Code plugin marketplace that provides project structure initialization, documentation quality scoring, and auto-sync workflows. The main plugin lives in plugins/project-init/.

Tech Stack

  • Claude Code Plugin System (commands, skills, agents as Markdown/YAML)
  • Bash (hook scripts, setup scripts)
  • Git (version control, commit-msg hooks)
  • Markdown (all plugin definitions, documentation, templates)

Conventions

  • Language: Bilingual (Korean/English) for all user-facing docs (README, CHANGELOG, architecture, ADR, runbook); see writing-style-guide.md
  • Plugin structure: Commands and agents are .md files with YAML frontmatter (Claude Code does not load .yml agents)
  • Reference templates: Stored in skills/project-scaffolder/references/ as Markdown with embedded code blocks
  • Versioning: Semantic versioning; version tracked in marketplace.json and plugin.json
  • Commit messages: Co-Authored-By lines auto-removed by commit-msg hook
  • Hooks: read event JSON from stdin, block with exit 2; no hardcoded counts (tests, files) in docs (ADR-008)
  • Indentation: 2 spaces (see .editorconfig)
  • Line endings: LF

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.
