Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

web 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 1mo 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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Web Content Operations

All web operations use shell scripts in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/. Output goes to .claude-crawl/ in the project root to protect the context window from large content.

Before any operation: mkdir -p .claude-crawl/{reads,searches,crawls,extractions,reranks,ground,screenshots,pdfs}

WebFetch calls are automatically intercepted and routed through Jina Reader for cleaner markdown output. Set CLAUDE_CRAWL_NO_INTERCEPT=1 to disable this behavior and use WebFetch directly. Run check-auth.sh --verbose to see which services are available.

Routing Table

Choose the right tool based on what you have and what you need:

HAVE                      NEED                        USE
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Topic/question            Search results              jina-search.sh or fc-search.sh
URL, static page          Clean markdown              jina-read.sh
URL, JS-heavy/SPA         Rendered content            fc-scrape.sh
URL, need visual capture  Screenshot or PDF           cf-page.sh --format screenshot|pdf
URL, need structured data JSON extraction (AI)        cf-page.sh --format json --ai-prompt "..."
Domain                    All URLs on site            fc-map.sh
Multiple URLs, bulk       Multi-page content          cf-crawl-start.sh or fc-crawl.sh
Statement/claim           Fact verification           jina-ground.sh
Multiple results          Ranked by relevance         jina-rerank.sh

How to decide between similar tools

Search: Use jina-search.sh for general web search (fast, returns full content). Use fc-search.sh when you need Firecrawl-specific features like --scrape (auto-scrapes each result) or want an alternative search provider.

Single page fetch: Start with jina-read.sh — it's fastest and cheapest. If the result is thin (< 100 words, no headings — the script warns you), escalate to fc-scrape.sh which renders JavaScript. If you need Cloudflare's AI extraction or screenshots, use cf-page.sh.

What ships with it

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.
