Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Claude Code, Plugin

catalyst

Hand a coding session from one agent to another without losing the thread — typed handoff briefs in your repo, lifecycle hooks that write and resume them on Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity, and CI-graded evals.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .gitignore, line 2 .env

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    scripts/catalyst_config.py, line 25 r = subprocess.run(["git", *args], cwd=cwd, capture_output=True,

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.
