cc-plugin-eval

cc-plugin-eval is a skill for Claude Code from ANcpLua/ancplua-claude-plugins. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,604 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that routes requests to cc-plugin-eval, a local checker for Claude Code plugins and skills. It analyzes files, validates configuration, explains scores, and ranks recommended fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit plugins or skills, validate manifests and hooks, investigate scores, prioritize fixes, and measure token usage.
Why use it?
It turns natural requests such as auditing an add-on or checking a manifest into the appropriate local evaluation command.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

cc-plugin-eval 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 2mo 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.

cc-plugin-eval

Use this as the umbrella entrypoint for local Claude Code plugin and skill evaluation. cc-plugin-eval is deterministic, local-first, and zero-dependency.

The runnable command blocks below invoke the shipped script through the plugin root, which works in any checkout: node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/cc-plugin-eval.js" <command> <args>. Inline mentions of cc-plugin-eval <command> are shorthand for that same invocation; the bare cc-plugin-eval alias only exists if you ran npm link in the plugin directory.

Start Here

  1. Resolve whether the target path is a skill (contains SKILL.md), a plugin (contains .claude-plugin/plugin.json), or another local folder.
  2. If the user spoke naturally, prefer the chat-first router so they see the routed local command:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/cc-plugin-eval.js" start <path> --request "<user request>" --format markdown
  1. Map natural chat requests to workflows:
    • "Evaluate this plugin." -> cc-plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown
    • "Evaluate this skill." -> cc-plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown (or evaluate-skill alias)
    • "Why did this score that way?" -> cc-plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown
    • "What should I fix first?" -> cc-plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown
    • "Explain the token budget for this plugin." -> cc-plugin-eval explain-budget <path> --format markdown
    • "Validate the manifest." / "Lint this plugin." -> cc-plugin-eval validate <path> --format markdown
    • "Inspect the hooks." / "Inspect the mcp servers." -> cc-plugin-eval inspect <path> --component <name> --format markdown
    • "Measure the real token usage of this skill." -> init-benchmark then benchmark, then analyze --observed-usage, then measurement-plan
    • "Help me benchmark this plugin." -> starter benchmark flow
    • "What should I run next?" -> cc-plugin-eval start <path> --request "What should I run next?" --format markdown
  2. If the user wants a rewrite plan, route to ../improve-skill/SKILL.md. That skill produces a brief and then hands the brief to skill-creator for the actual rewrite pass.
  3. If the user wants a custom rubric, route to ../metric-pack-designer/SKILL.md.
  4. If the user names a plugin or skill instead of giving a path, resolve it locally before running commands. Prefer ~/.claude/plugins/cache/<plugin-id> for installed plugins, then any repo-local plugins/<name> or skills/<name> directory. If still ambiguous, ask one short clarifying question.
  5. When the request sounds like "give me a full analysis" rather than just "evaluate", do the fuller path:
    • run analyze
    • initialize .cc-plugin-eval/benchmark.json
    • surface the setup questions that refine the starter scenarios
    • preview the first benchmark command the user can execute next

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.
