setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code from almanax-ai/almanax-security-plugin. It costs 24 tokens per session (386 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for connecting Claude Code to Almanax, a web service that scans code for security issues. It explains how to create and provide an Almanax API key.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Almanax, set the required environment variable, troubleshoot authentication, and verify that security scans work.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from signing in, creating credentials, and reconnecting Claude Code after changes. It also keeps the key out of chat and repository files.

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

setup 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 5d 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 actually says

Help the user set up Almanax in Claude Code.

Workflow:

  1. Explain that this plugin connects Claude Code to the hosted Almanax MCP server at https://mcp.almanax.ai.
  2. If the user does not already have an Almanax API key, direct them to the Almanax web app at https://app.almanax.ai.
  3. Tell them to sign in, open their organization settings, go to the Account tab, and create an API key in API keys.
  4. If they want public documentation, point them to https://docs.almanax.ai.
  5. Tell them to set the key in their shell before starting Claude Code: export ALMANAX_API_KEY="their_api_key"
  6. If they want the key to persist across terminal sessions, tell them to add the same export line to their shell profile such as ~/.zshrc.
  7. Tell them to restart Claude Code after setting or changing the key so the Almanax MCP server reconnects with the updated credentials.
  8. After restart, suggest a verification prompt such as Use Almanax to get my recent security findings or Scan the current commit with Almanax.

Important:

  • Never ask the user to paste their API key into chat.
  • Never store the API key in repository files.
  • If the user reports authentication failures, suggest checking whether the key is expired, whether they copied it correctly, and whether their Almanax organization has API access enabled.
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.
