distribution

distribution is a skill for Claude Code from ai-driven-dev/framework. It costs 104 tokens per session (988 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project area that finds plugin and marketplace content, reads catalogues, and fetches or caches content from Git or the web.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to register or refresh a marketplace, parse a catalogue, add another source type, or change fetching, caching, or trust handling.
Why use it?
It keeps source discovery and downloading separate from the code that installs or adapts the content.

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

distribution 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Distribution

distribution is a leaf: it depends on kernel only, and knows no tool and no manifest. It answers exactly one question — where does content come from, and how is it fetched — for whoever asks. framework is the only context that reaches it (framework → distribution); a plugin's own content and how it gets translated are someone else's job once it has arrived here.

What goes in

Concept Location
A marketplace registration (name, source, scope, staleness) domain/marketplace.ts, domain/marketplace-source-mode.ts
A cached catalog fetch domain/ports/marketplace-cache.ts
The plugin catalog shape domain/catalog.ts (the Claude-shaped parser lives here too)
A reader for a non-Claude catalog shape domain/catalog-parsers/
A port this context's callers hold domain/ports/ — registry, cache, trust-store, catalog-repository, fetcher, raw-catalog-fetcher
Add / list / refresh / register / resolve / fetch a marketplace source application/
The concrete adapter behind one of the six ports infrastructure/

How

  • This context is a leaf by construction: it must never gain an edge to tools, translate, or frameworktests/architecture/context-graph.arch.test.ts enforces the chain (framework → distribution, plus everything to kernel) and fails the build the moment a new edge appears. If a change seems to need one, the orchestration belongs to the caller (framework), not here — see BASELINE in tests/architecture/helpers.ts for the one documented exception, distribution->framework, and the comment there that explains it (marketplace add --overwrite removing before adding), which is framework work that has not yet been moved out.
  • A port here follows the port/adapter rule in .claude/rules/00-architecture/: interface only, ≤5 methods, no null in the return type unless "not found" is genuinely a normal domain state (documented per-port, not assumed).
  • An adapter owns every technical constant for its integration (API base URLs, cache TTLs, error-pattern regexes for classifying a third-party failure) — none of that belongs in a port, a use-case, or a domain model. try/catch inside an adapter exists only to translate a raw error into a typed one from kernel/errors.ts.
  • A new foreign catalog shape gets its own parser in domain/catalog-parsers/, producing the same PluginCatalog/PluginCatalogEntry shape the Claude parser produces — callers above this context never branch on which format a catalog came from.
  • Follow the use-case rule in .claude/rules/00-architecture/ for the application layer's shape.

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.
