Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; 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 A, and why

whats-new 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 8d 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.

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.

What it actually says

What's newly possible

Two sources, both local. Speak the user's language, lead with benefit, never list for listing's sake.

New commands (after a knowledge-base update)

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/commands.json and playbooks.json. Compare against what the user has actually seen used (counters in ~/.claude/command-autopilot/state.json). Pick the 2-3 entries most relevant to how this user works (their evidence shows what they do) and present each as: what it is → what it does for YOU → the one-line way to try it. Mention the version it arrived in.

Installed-but-unused skills

Read ~/.claude/command-autopilot/skills-index.json; cross-reference with state.json skill counters. Skills with zero invocations are dormant value the user already owns. Pick the 1-2 most relevant to their evidence profile: "You installed X — it can ... — next time you ..., I'll use it automatically."

High-leverage commands the user has never used

The biggest gap for most users is the powerful commands they don't know exist. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/commands.json + playbooks.json, cross-reference state.json command counters, and surface the high-leverage ones with zero usage — Workflow orchestration, parallel /fork, /goal, /loop, /background. For each: what it is → what it does for THEIR kind of work → the one-line way to try it. This is the "you can't ask for what you don't know exists" gap — lead with it.

Rules

Max 5 items total per run. Relevance over completeness; the rest stays for next time. End with: "Ask again any time — this list updates itself."

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.
