live-rules

live-rules is a plugin for Claude Code from Eigenwise/eigenwise-toolshed. Its manifest loads nothing; the 2 skills it bundles cost 73 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-rules system that places Markdown instructions into Claude's context whenever they apply, either on every request or before editing matching files. Markdown is a plain-text file format commonly used for notes and instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to apply always-on rules or file-specific guidance while Claude works on a project.
Why use it?
It keeps coding conventions and project instructions available at the moment they matter, including after the rules file changes, without restarting the session.

Security

Grade A, and why

live-rules 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 12d 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.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 2 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 73 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
