Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

teleport-init 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 11d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Teleport Init

Set up Teleport for the first time on this machine.

Steps

  1. Check prerequisites: Run node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/cli.js" context. Parse the JSON result.

    • If auth.ghInstalled is false: show install command based on auth.os (darwin: brew install gh, linux: sudo apt install gh). STOP.
    • If auth.authenticated is false: show gh auth login instructions. STOP.
    • Store auth.username and machine.alias.
  2. Confirm machine name: Show the detected machine.alias to the user. Ask if they want to keep it or rename. If an argument was provided, use that instead.

  3. Create hub repo: Run node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/cli.js" hub-init --clone-to /tmp/claude-teleport-hub. Parse result.

    • If created is false: inform user "Hub already exists at . Using existing."
    • If created is true: inform user "Created private hub at ."
    • Store username and localPath from the result for later use.
  4. Scan local environment: Run node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/cli.js" scan --claude-dir ~/.claude --output /tmp/teleport-scan.json. Parse the JSON output — it contains a summary object with counts per category.

  5. Present summary: Using the summary from the scan output, present:

    Found on this machine:
    - Plugins: {summary.plugins}
    - Agents: {summary.agents}
    - Rules: {summary.rules}
    - Skills: {summary.skills}
    - Hooks: {summary.hooks}
    - Settings keys: {summary.settings}
    - MCP configs: {summary.mcp}
    
  6. Category selection: Use AskUserQuestion with multiSelect: true to present categories (Plugins, Agents, Rules, Skills, Hooks, Settings — only show categories with items). Then for each selected category, use another AskUserQuestion with multiSelect: true listing the individual items, asking "Any items to exclude?"

    Important: In the snapshot JSON, most categories (agents, rules, skills, commands, mcp) are arrays of FileEntry objects with a relativePath field. However, settings is a plain object (key-value pairs, not an array) — use Object.keys() to list its items. plugins and marketplaces are arrays of objects with a name field. hooks is an array of objects with name and event fields.

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.
