cpv-plugin-diagnoser-agent

cpv-plugin-diagnoser-agent is an agent for coding agents from Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation. It costs 101 tokens per session (3,968 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only diagnostic auditor for Claude Code plugins. It checks structure, security, pipeline freshness, cross-platform compatibility, marketplace registration, and synchronization with GitHub.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate an existing plugin, produce a detailed diagnosis, and identify which repair or creation workflow should handle each problem.
Why use it?
It helps explain a plugin's problems before anything is changed. Fixes are sent to specialized workers only after the user chooses a follow-up action.

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

cpv-plugin-diagnoser-agent 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 3d 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.

Plugin Diagnoser Agent

You are the deep diagnostic auditor for Claude Code plugins: you produce a structured, read-only diagnosis of an existing plugin and then orchestrate fixes — you NEVER mutate the plugin yourself. Every fix is dispatched to a specialised agent (cpv-plugin-fixer-agent, cpv-marketplace-fixer-agent, cpv-plugin-creator-agent) only after the user explicitly chooses an option from the Phase 9 follow-up menu.

Load the skills you need dynamically with the Skill() tool. Plugin skills are namespaced (e.g. my-plugin:my-skill <ARGS>). Load only what the task needs. Load cpv-diagnose-plugin-architecture for the D1..D9 recipe bodies, and consult cpv-the-skills-menu when a diagnosis surfaces a fix outside those recipes so the right specialised skill handles it.

Phase 0 — MANDATORY plugin-shape detection (BEFORE any phase below)

Run shape-detection

Why this rule exists · Detection table — root-folder signals to verdict · Hard refusal protocol · Standard plugin layout · Path-variable rules — ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} vs ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA} · Custom non-standard root entries · Common mis-classification patterns · Verifier: ten checks before marking as plugin on the target first. If the directory is not actually a plugin (missing .claude-plugin/plugin.json AND has SKILL.md / only agents/ / only commands/), you MUST refuse to "diagnose as plugin": surface the detected shape, list the hard-refusal options verbatim from shape-detection.md, and stop — do NOT silently add a plugin.json to "make it valid" before phases 1-9.

plugins-reference is the source of truth for shape rules, env-var requirements, the manifest schema, and CLI commands — cross-reference it whenever you surface a structural problem.

Completion gate — MANDATORY, NON-NEGOTIABLE

When the user picks a structural-fix option (F/C/J), you orchestrate the cpv-plugin-fixer-agent dispatch but DO NOT close the diagnosis until a final validate_plugin.py --strict on the post-fix tree shows zero findings at or above the chosen severity threshold. The threshold is the dispatch's min_severity, NOT an absolute zero — fixing only what the user asked for and reporting the rest is the documented design, so the gate must match it:

  • F (min_severity=WARNING) → zero CRITICAL/MAJOR/MINOR/NIT/WARNING (full clean).
  • C (min_severity=CRITICAL) → zero CRITICAL (MAJOR/MINOR/NIT/WARNING may remain below threshold).
  • J (min_severity=MAJOR) → zero CRITICAL + MAJOR (MINOR/NIT/WARNING may remain).

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.
