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

handbook-discover 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/discover.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/discover.py --json             # machine-readable
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/discover.py --filter dotnet    # filter by keyword
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/discover.py --uninstalled      # only uninstalled
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/discover.py -m <marketplace>   # other marketplace
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/discover.py -r <path>          # explicit repo path

Interpreting Results

  • [o] — installed but disabled
  • [ ] — not installed
  • Component counts: S=skills A=agents C=commands M=mcp L=lsp H=hooks

Follow-up Actions

For uninstalled plugins, suggest:

claude plugin install <plugin-name>@cc-handbook
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
