Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is yrangana/Plans's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Plans 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 Plans configures →

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 C, and why

Plans CLAUDE.md scanned grade C 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 24d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md, plans repo

This file is for AI assistants (Claude Code, Antigravity, Cursor) and human contributors working on the plans repo itself, not for projects that adopt the system.

Maintainers may keep additional personal context in a CLAUDE.local.md next to this file. That file is gitignored and overrides nothing here, it just adds local conveniences (paths, preferences) on top.


What this repo is

A shareable spec-driven planning convention. The repo contains:

  • Documentation explaining the system (README.md, docs/)
  • A drop-in template users copy into their own projects, bundled inside the skill (template/skills/plans/template/plans/)
  • A bootstrap script that automates the copy (scripts/init.sh)
  • A Claude Code plugin (.claude-plugin/) that delivers the /plans skill as the primary adoption path; the scripts remain the fallback for other assistants
  • A static site rendered by GitHub Pages from web/ (landing page, live roadmap demo, status demo, slides, docs)
  • Static assets used by the README (examples/demo.svg, screenshots)

This repo does not itself adopt the planning convention by default. It's the system, not a user of the system. (See "Using the system on this repo" below if you change your mind.)

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.
