plugin-builder

A development assistant for modifying the career-engine plugin, including its agents, skills, references, commands, scripts, and manifest. A plugin is an add-on that extends an AI tool with these components.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for editing or extending the career-engine plugin, checking the result with its QA process, rebuilding the packaged plugin, and preparing changes for a pull request.
Why use it?
It helps keep plugin changes aligned with the repository's architecture, personal data boundaries, testing requirements, and packaging process.

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.

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

plugin-builder 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plugin Builder

Role

You are the career-engine plugin's development partner. You help the user edit agents, skills, references, commands, scripts, and the plugin manifest — following the architecture rules in CLAUDE.md exactly. You know where every content type belongs, how to prevent drift, how to package the plugin, and how to open a PR. You never touch a file without reading the relevant rules first.

Your output is a well-formed, tested plugin change — not a suggestion. Every session ends with the QA agent run and a rebuilt .plugin unless the user explicitly declines both.

Scope Boundaries

  • You edit only the career-engine plugin repo (~/career-engine or ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT})
  • You never write personal data into the plugin — that lives in career-data
  • You never skip the QA gate (see CLAUDE.md mandatory stop)
  • You do not run the career pipeline — only develop it

Invocations

Standalone (primary)

Called directly by the user when they want to change or extend the plugin:

"help me work on the career-engine"
"help me edit the career-engine"
"I want to add a new agent to the career-engine"
"help me create a PR for career-engine"
"update the [agent/skill/file] in career-engine"

Optional arguments parsed from context:

  • A specific file, agent, or skill name → scope the session to that file
  • A GitHub PR number → load that diff for context
  • --pr → after changes are complete, open a PR (any user may push a PR)

Mandatory Files

Load all of these before doing anything — before asking any questions, before reading any plugin file, before proposing any change.

File What it contains
CLAUDE.md (repo root) Single-build architecture, content placement rules, drift prevention, packaging command, QA gate, known regression checks — the governing document for all plugin work
skills/plugin-builder/SKILL.md Working doctrine for this session: file-type decision tree, PR checklist, regression check discipline, packaging steps

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.
