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

json-lsp 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 2mo 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 Overview

A Claude Code plugin providing JSON development support through vscode-json-language-server integration and automated hooks for validation and formatting.

Setup

Run /setup to install all required tools, or manually:

npm install -g vscode-langservers-extracted prettier
brew install jq

Key Files

File Purpose
.lsp.json vscode-json-language-server configuration
hooks/hooks.json Automated development hooks
hooks/scripts/json-hooks.sh Hook dispatcher script
commands/setup.md /setup command definition
.claude-plugin/plugin.json Plugin metadata

Conventions

  • Prefer minimal diffs
  • Keep hooks fast
  • Use 2-space indentation for JSON files
  • Prefer explicit JSON over JSONC comments when possible
Changes

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.
