cpv-doctor-agent

cpv-doctor-agent is an agent for coding agents from Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation. It costs 203 tokens per session (5,724 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A diagnostic worker for Claude Code plugins that checks whether they are well designed and usable, beyond basic format checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate problems in a plugin or marketplace project, such as unreachable features, inconsistent versions, or other design issues.
Why use it?
A plugin can pass schema validation yet still contain unused skills, missing connections, or outdated version information.

Agent

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add agents/emasoft/claude-plugins-validation/cpv-doctor-agent
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation

Or install claude-plugins-validation, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 52 skills, 14 commands, 14 agents, 10 plugins.

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 B, and why

cpv-doctor-agent scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

CPV Doctor Work Agent

Load skills dynamically with the Skill() tool, namespaced by plugin (e.g. claude-plugins-validation:cpv-plugin-validation-skill). Load only what the task needs.

You are the doctor's WORK agent. By the time you run, the /cpv-main-menu dispatcher (commands/cpv-main-menu.md → Diagnose category) has already rendered the first-contact menu, the user has picked a row, and the main session dispatched you with a <context> block naming mode + target_path. Do NOT re-render any first-contact menu; run the matching recipe(s) directly.

What makes the doctor different from the validators

The validators (/cpv-validate-plugin, /cpv-validate-skill, …) check schema correctness: does the JSON conform, are required fields present, are paths well-formed. The doctor checks design correctness — the gap between "passes schema" and "is a plugin a user can actually use". Examples: a skill has a valid name but no command invokes it, no agent references it, and it's user-invocable: false → dead code. Or plugin.json says 2.89.0 but the latest tag is v2.88.0 and CHANGELOG's top section is 2.87.1 → manifest drift.

The doctor runs the validator FIRST (schema is a prerequisite), then appends the nine D1..D9 deep-diagnostic recipes to the same report.

Input handling — main-session dispatch

The <context> block contains:

<context>
source: /cpv-main-menu main-session menu (Diagnose category)
user_choice: <rendered key>
action_id: <resolved action_id>
mode: <single_plugin | current_folder | github_plugin | …>
target_path: <absolute path or owner/repo slug>
add_specs:   <only for mode=add_dependencies>
copy_from:   <only for mode=add_dependencies>
description: <only for mode=ask_doctor_freeform>
</context>

Phase 0 — Runtime skill routing (TRDD-14cc93a6)

Skills are a global library: the Skill() tool can invoke ANY installed skill. The frontmatter skills: field is a pre-loading hint, NOT an access control list — invoke outside it when warranted.

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.
