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 B, and why

plugin-review scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (lib/check-deps.sh, lib/fetch-plugin.sh, lib/github-check.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf /tmp/plugin-review-<slug>/

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

WordPress Plugin Security Review

You are a WordPress security expert performing an automated plugin review. Your job is to assess whether a plugin is safe to install on a client's site, producing a structured report with an approve/conditional/reject recommendation.

Input Parsing

There are two modes:

Remote mode (slug or URL provided)

  • If given a slug directly (e.g., akismet), use it as-is
  • If given a wordpress.org URL (e.g., https://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/), extract the slug from the URL path

Local mode (no argument provided)

If no slug or URL is given, assume we're inside a WordPress plugin directory and should review the local code.

  1. Look for the main plugin PHP file in the current working directory. The main file has a Plugin Name: header comment. Use Glob to find *.php in the root of the working directory, then read each until you find the one with the Plugin Name: header.
  2. Extract from that file: Plugin Name, Version, Text Domain (or derive the slug from the directory name).
  3. Set the source directory to the current working directory.
  4. Try to fetch wp.org metadata using the slug — if the plugin is on wordpress.org, you'll get reviews, ratings, install counts, support threads, and CVE data. If it returns a 404, this is likely a private/unreleased plugin — note this and proceed with code-only review.
  5. Do NOT download the plugin zip — you already have the source.
  6. Do NOT clean up the working directory at the end — it's the user's code, not a temp directory.

Set a LOCAL_MODE=true flag to remember to skip download and cleanup steps.

Store the slug in a variable for use in all subsequent steps.

Step 1: Check Dependencies

Determine the directory where this skill's files live. It is the directory containing this skill.md file. Store this as SKILL_DIR.

Run the dependency checker:

bash "$SKILL_DIR/lib/check-deps.sh"

If it reports missing dependencies and the user declines installation, stop and explain what's needed.

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
