neckbeard 1.12.2

First public release.

neckbeard reads a Claude Code plugin before you install it: every hook, every string it injects, every session and subagent it reaches, every file it writes outside your project. Then it sorts each of the plugin's rules against the rules you already run, as duplicate, conflict or new, and writes a one-page verdict. It never edits anything.

Install as a plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add jerrydboonstra/neckbeard
claude plugin install neckbeard@neckbeard

or as a plain skill: clone the repo and link skills/neckbeard into ~/.claude/skills/. About 270 tokens always-on, about 4.7k each time you use it.

See what a report looks like: the gallery has real reports on seven public plugins, all against a published sample reader.

How it was tested: fourteen rounds, every reviewer a separate AI session that had not written the code, and two sealed fixtures for the judgment half. On the second, the instructions scored 30 of 31 where the same model without them scored 16. The full record, including the claims that turned out false, is in CASE-STUDIES.md.
