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 C, and why

add-understand-anything scanned grade C with 2 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 9d 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.

Add Understand-Anything

This skill installs Understand-Anything — an LLM-powered codebase-analysis tool that produces interactive knowledge graphs, guided tours, and deep-dive explanations of any project. Once installed, the agent gains the /understand* family of skills.

It ships as a Claude Code plugin distributed through a GitHub plugin marketplace. This skill runs the whole marketplace flow (add marketplace → install plugin → verify) end-to-end so a single /add-understand-anything completely integrates it — no manual /plugin steps.

Backend note: This is a Claude Code installer. The claude plugin … commands below only exist when Claude Code is the active backend (Deus's default). On non–Claude-Code backends (Codex, opencode, gemini, …) use the upstream install.sh fallback in Phase 0 instead.

Phase 0: Backend guard

Confirm the Claude Code CLI is available before doing anything else:

command -v claude >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "claude CLI found" || echo "NO claude CLI"

If the claude CLI is not found, this backend can't use the plugin marketplace. Stop here and tell the user to install via the upstream script instead (it symlinks the skills into the right place for their runtime):

# Replace <platform> with one of: codex, opencode, gemini, pi, vscode, ...
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything/main/install.sh | bash -s <platform>

Then skip the rest of this skill.

Phase 1: Pre-flight (idempotent)

Check current state with the read-only list commands and branch on their output — do not assume how the CLI handles a duplicate add/install.

Is the marketplace already added?

claude plugin marketplace list 2>/dev/null | grep -qF "Lum1104/Understand-Anything" \
  && echo "MARKETPLACE_PRESENT" || echo "MARKETPLACE_MISSING"

(Match the exact marketplace source Lum1104/Understand-Anythinglist prints it as Source: GitHub (Lum1104/Understand-Anything) — so an unrelated plugin that merely contains the substring understand-anything can't trigger a false MARKETPLACE_PRESENT.)

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.
