A setup assistant for Claude Code, the coding tool, that checks your project and account configuration and gives it a score.

It checks project instructions, permissions, memory, connected services, plugins, Git, hooks, and keyboard shortcuts, then helps set up missing items.

It shows which common setup pieces are present or missing, so you do not have to inspect configuration files by hand.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/ridges0315/claude-boost/boost

Any agent

npx skills add ridges0315/claude-boost --skill boost

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ridges0315/claude-boost

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install claude-boost, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 skills, 1 hook.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00047	$0.02067
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.01033
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00413
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00207

Measured 3d ago against content hash 4b376d975059, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-08-30, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade B, and why

boost 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

2. **settings.json** — `~/.claude/settings.json` has permissions with at least one allow entry?

Boost — Diagnose and Optimize Your Claude Code Setup

Diagnose the user's Claude Code configuration, display their Boost Score, and actively help them set up missing items.

Instructions

Phase 1: Diagnose

Run the exact same diagnostic checks as the boost-check skill. Check all 9 items across 3 levels:

Level 1 — Essentials (3 items)

CLAUDE.md — exists in project root? Has > 5 lines? Has model routing section?
settings.json — ~/.claude/settings.json has permissions with at least one allow entry?
Memory system — project memory directory has MEMORY.md with entries?

Level 2 — Power Features (4 items) 4. CLAUDE.md advanced — has context management / workflow mode sections (2+ keywords)? 5. MCP servers — ~/.claude/mcp.json or .mcp.json has at least one server? 6. Plugins — installed_plugins.json has 2+ plugins (excluding boost)? 7. Git integration — current directory is a git repo?

Level 3 — Expert (2 items) 8. Hooks — settings.json has custom hooks? 9. Keybindings — ~/.claude/keybindings.json exists with custom bindings?

Phase 2: Display Score

Show the Boost Score:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  Boost Score: X/9                                ║
║  Level 1: a/3 | Level 2: b/4 | Level 3: c/2     ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Then list all items with ✓/✗ status.

Phase 3: Guide and Act

Start from the lowest level with missing items. For each missing item, offer to set it up.

If the user passed a level argument (e.g., /boost 2), skip to that level.

Setting Up: CLAUDE.md (Level 1)

When CLAUDE.md is missing or sparse:

Auto-detect project context:
- Read package.json → extract name, description, dependencies, scripts
- Read requirements.txt or pyproject.toml → extract Python dependencies
- Read go.mod → extract Go module info
- Read Cargo.toml → extract Rust crate info
- Read .eslintrc*, .prettierrc*, .editorconfig → extract code style rules
- Read jest.config*, vitest.config*, pytest.ini, tsconfig.json → extract test config
- Read .gitignore → infer restricted files
- Read README.md first 20 lines → extract project description
- If none of these exist, note "No project config files detected"

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.

boost is a skill published in the GitHub repository ridges0315/claude-boost (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 2,067 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
