emulate

emulate is a plugin for Claude Code from pleaseai/claude-code-plugins. Its manifest loads nothing; the 11 skills it bundles cost 1,333 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local drop-in replacement for several online APIs, including Vercel, GitHub, Google, Slack, Microsoft, AWS, Linear, Stripe, Resend, and Next.js. It lets applications talk to test services running on your computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to emulate supported API integrations locally and test authentication, payments, email, deployments, collaboration tools, and other service-dependent application code.
Why use it?
It removes the need to call live services while developing and testing integrations, helping avoid real emails, payments, account changes, and external dependencies.

Security

Grade A, and why

emulate 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 2d 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.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 11 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 1,333 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Changes

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.
