acryl-change-plugin

acryl-change-plugin is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from acryldev/acryl. It costs 36 tokens per session (299 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for changing, fixing, improving, restyling, extending, or removing an existing ACRYL plugin. It finds the installed plugin's source, reads it before editing, and updates it in place.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to modify an existing plugin, install the updated source, report whether the change is live, or remove the plugin after confirmation when needed.
Why use it?
It prevents edits to generated or protected folders and makes you check whether a reload or app restart is needed. It also avoids guessing when the named item is not an installed plugin.

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

acryl-change-plugin 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 actually says

Change, improve or remove an ACRYL plugin

  1. Call acryl_list_plugins to find the plugin and the source directory it was installed from. If it is not listed the user may mean a built-in feature; say so instead of guessing.
  2. Read its files completely before editing, and the matching doc in {{pack}}/docs/README.md for the plugin type.
  3. Edit the source directory (never node_modules, never the pack). For UI changes edit client.js.
  4. Call acryl_install_plugin with the same directory: it updates in place, and host code changes take effect in the running app automatically ("hostReload": "automatic"). Read the result: if it has a "warning" the plugin could not be staged for automatic reload and host changes need an app restart ({{pack}}/docs/delivery/local-live.md); if it has a "next" note, tell the user to reload. A change to "inject" or the Config schema also needs a restart.
  5. To remove a plugin call acryl_remove_plugin. Confirm with the user first if they did not clearly ask for it. Report what changed and whether it is live; never claim it works without the tool result.

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.
