reference

reference is a skill for Claude Code from ihudak/ihudak-claude-plugins. It costs 20 tokens per session (118 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that reads a named shared workflow reference and can optionally run one of that reference's defined entry points. The reference is treated as the authoritative source for the current workflow step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a workflow needs to load a named reference from the shared foundation and optionally execute one of its entry points.
Why use it?
Workflow add-ons need a consistent way to access shared instructions without copying or silently changing them. This keeps dependent commands aligned with the current reference text.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

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

reference 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.

What it actually says

The invocation arguments name one reference file and, optionally, one entry point within it.

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/<the first argument>.md and treat it as the single source of truth for the current step. When a second argument is present, execute that entry point of it inline. Never paraphrase, summarise, or cache its contents.

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.
