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

consult-claude 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 7d 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.

Consult Claude Code

This plugin lets you hand work to Claude Code as a collaborative second agent. Claude runs locally in the same repository (reusing the user's existing Claude login) and reports back.

Keep the spirit gentle and collaborative: Claude is a peer offering a careful second perspective, not a last resort or an adversary.

First-time setup

If consulting fails, or the user asks whether the plugin is ready, call the setup tool first. It checks that claude is installed and signed in and returns any next steps (it reuses the user's existing Claude login — no extra API key needed). Pass deep: true to verify the login with a quick live call.

If the tools themselves fail (transport closed)

If claude-code tool calls fail with a transport/connection error (e.g. "Transport closed"), the MCP bridge for this session is gone — this happens when the plugin was upgraded while the session was open. Tell the user to start a fresh Codex session; the tools will work again there. Do not work around it by invoking the claude CLI directly — especially not with permission overrides like --dangerously-skip-permissions; the bridge exists precisely to run Claude with safe, scoped permissions.

How to call it

Use the consult tool from the claude-code MCP server. Arguments:

  • prompt — what you'd like Claude to look at, investigate, or do. Be specific about the goal and what "done" looks like.
  • cwdalways pass the absolute path of the repository you are working in. The tool cannot infer it.
  • edittrue lets Claude modify files; false (default) is advisory only.
  • backgroundtrue returns a job id immediately and runs in the background; poll with consult_status, fetch with consult_result, stop with consult_cancel.
  • verify — a command the server runs after the edits (e.g. "auto" or "npm test"); see below.
  • resume — continue the most recent Claude session for this directory.
  • model / effort — optional model (alias like sonnet/opus or a full name) and effort level (lowmax); see the inference rules below.

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.
