kit-setup

kit-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mtvrkan/senior-dev-kit. It costs 34 tokens per session (441 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A one-time installer for Senior Dev Kit rules and denied-permission settings in Claude Code. It previews the changes, asks for consent, backs up existing settings, and can later remove the installation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install path-scoped rules or deny rules, preview or uninstall them, and verify the result after restarting Claude Code or reloading plugins.
Why use it?
It handles configuration that a normal plugin cannot write, while preserving the user’s existing rules and settings.

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 B, and why

kit-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

kit-setup

A plugin cannot write rules/*.md or permission rules into the user's settings directory, so this is a one-time, consented step. Never skip step 2.

  1. PLAN: run node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install.mjs" --only rules,deny-rules --dry-run (drop ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/ when running from a clone of the repo). If the user passed --only rules or --only deny-rules, use that value instead of rules,deny-rules — installing both when they asked for one is not the smaller surprise. Show the output verbatim.
  2. ASK: state plainly that this writes to the user's ~/.claude/rules/ and merges deny rules into ~/.claude/settings.json, that existing files are backed up and their own settings keys and deny rules are preserved, and that --uninstall reverses it. Wait for an explicit yes. Never pass --yes before that answer.
  3. APPLY: rerun the same command with --yes appended, then report the target directory, the backup directory, and how many deny rules were added.
  4. FINISH: tell the user to restart Claude Code (or run /reload-plugins) so the new rules load, and that /kit-doctor verifies the result.

Output

∙ rules: N installed · deny: N added · backup: <path>
NEXT: restart Claude Code, then /kit-doctor

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.
