ory-local-dev is a skill for Claude Code from ory/claude-plugins. It costs 134 tokens per session (2,367 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A local Ory environment running in Docker for testing authentication and permissions. Ory provides services for identities, login, and access rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run local login, registration, account recovery, and permission tests with repeatable test data.
Why use it?
It lets you build and test these flows without an Ory Network project, internet access, or production data.

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

ory-local-dev scanned grade A 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 217 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build an Auth App Against a Local Ory Stack

You are helping the user develop an authentication application against a local Ory stack running in Docker — not against Ory Network. The @ory/claude-code plugin ships two commands that manage the lifecycle:

  • /ory-agent-plugin:local-up — start Kratos, Keto, Hydra, and an Nginx gateway, then seed a test identity, session, and permission tuples.
  • /ory-agent-plugin:local-down — stop all services while preserving data volumes.

Both delegate to npx -y -p @ory/claude-code ory-claude local <subcommand>, so the same workflow runs from the shell when the command shortcuts are not available.

When to use this skill

Pick the local stack over Ory Network when any of these are true:

  • The user has no Ory Network project yet and wants to prototype.
  • The user is working offline or behind an egress restriction.
  • The user wants deterministic, throwaway test data they can reset freely (local reset).
  • The user is writing automated tests that hit a real Ory backend.

If the user already has an Ory Network project and just wants their production app wired up, prefer the /project:ory-auth-setup skill and point the SDK at the Network URL instead.

What /ory-agent-plugin:local-up gives you

After /ory-agent-plugin:local-up completes:

Service URL Purpose
Gateway http://localhost:4000 Unified API (mirrors Ory Network)
Agent Security https://agents.console.ory:8080 Canonical permission/delegation broker
Kratos public http://localhost:4433 Self-service flows (login, etc.)
Kratos admin http://localhost:4434 Identity & session admin
Keto read http://localhost:4466 Permission checks
Keto write http://localhost:4467 Relation tuple writes
Hydra public http://localhost:4444 OAuth2 / OIDC
Hydra admin http://localhost:4445 OAuth2 client management

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.
