wait-for-it

wait-for-it is a plugin for Claude Code from technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill it bundles cost 244 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A plugin that watches for a later event with a background shell process instead of repeatedly asking the language model whether anything changed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to wait for events such as a build, test, deployment, or other command-line condition to occur.
Why use it?
A polling prompt loop spends a model turn even when nothing has happened. The background watch can stay quiet until it has something to report.

Security

Grade A, and why

wait-for-it 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 24d 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. 1 skill travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 244 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.
