cross-plugin-detective

cross-plugin-detective is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MadAppGang/claude-code. It costs 48 tokens per session (2,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for connecting detective-style code analysis skills to different agent roles. It maps roles such as developer and architect to specialized investigation skills using claudemem's indexed code memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when assigning codebase searches, tracing data flow, or linking developer and architecture agents with the appropriate detective skill.
Why use it?
It gives each agent a suitable way to investigate code and keeps those investigations based on the shared indexed structure.

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

cross-plugin-detective 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.

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.
