paparats

paparats is a plugin for Claude Code, Cursor from IBazylchuk/paparats-mcp. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill it bundles cost 60 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A self-hosted search tool for finding code by meaning across multiple repositories. It can show relevant code sections and trace which functions call other functions, while keeping the code on your machine.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate implementations, follow callers, and inspect related code across repositories.
Why use it?
It avoids reading whole files or relying only on exact word matches when you are trying to understand an unfamiliar codebase. Local operation also keeps the indexed code from leaving your machine.

Security

Grade A, and why

paparats 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 today.

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. 1 skill travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 60 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.
