cpv-the-skills-menu-create is a command for Claude Code from Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A migration command that changes a Claude Code plugin from preloading a fixed list of skills to choosing operational skills when needed. Skills are reusable instructions that agents can load for particular jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to migrate a plugin from a local folder, Git URL, marketplace expression, repository name, or plugin name. It updates the plugin's agents to use the skills-menu method.
Why use it?
It reduces the fixed set of instructions loaded by every agent and lets each agent discover the operational skill it needs during a task.

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-the-skills-menu-create 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 8d 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.

/cpv-the-skills-menu-create — universal skill-discovery migrator

Convert a Claude Code plugin from static skills: [...] frontmatter preloads to cpv-the-skills-menu method. After the migration runs, every agent in the target plugin has only cpv-the-skills-menu in its preload list and picks operational skills dynamically via the Skill() tool.

This command is plugin-agnostic — it migrates any Claude Code plugin you point it at (a local path, a Git URL, a marketplace + plugin name expression, or a bare plugin name to search). The migration source of truth is the cpv-the-skills-menu-create skill bundled in this plugin; the full canonical spec lives at the-skills-menu-spec.md.

Step 0 — Resolve the target

The argument can be any of:

# Form Example
1 Explicit Git URL https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git
2 Owner/repo slug <owner>/<repo>
3 Local filesystem path ~/code/my-plugin/, /abs/path/to/plugin
4 Plugin-in-marketplace expression from the my-plugin in github.com/<owner>/<marketplace>
5 Bare plugin name my-plugin (searches workspace + known marketplace caches)

If no argument was supplied, ask the user plain-text:

Which plugin should I migrate to cpv-the-skills-menu method?
Give me a local path, a Git URL, or a plugin name.

Step 1 — Dispatch the skill

Invoke the backing skill, forwarding the user's entire argument string verbatim — the target spec AND any trailing flags (--full-cleanup, --force-dirty). The skill parses the flags itself; dropping them silently changes the migration behaviour.

Skill({skill: "claude-plugins-validation:cpv-the-skills-menu-create", args: "<full-argument-string-including-any-flags>"})

Example — a path with both flags must arrive at the skill intact:

Skill({skill: "claude-plugins-validation:cpv-the-skills-menu-create", args: "~/code/my-plugin/ --full-cleanup --force-dirty"})

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.
