Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00054 | $0.02123 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.01061 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00425 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00212 |
Grade A, and why
cowork-plugin-customizer 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 4d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cowork Plugin Customization
Customize a plugin for a specific organization — either by setting up a generic plugin template for the first time, or by tweaking and refining an already-configured plugin.
Finding the plugin: To find the plugin's source files, run
find mnt/.local-plugins mnt/.plugins -type d -name "*<plugin-name>*"to locate the plugin directory, then read its files to understand its structure before making changes. If you cannot find the plugin directory, the user is likely running this conversation in a remote container. Abort and let them know: "Customizing plugins is currently only available in the desktop app's Cowork mode."
Determining the Customization Mode
After locating the plugin, check for ~~-prefixed placeholders: grep -rn '~~\w' /path/to/plugin --include='*.md' --include='*.json'
Default rule: If
~~placeholders exist, default to Generic plugin setup unless the user explicitly asks to customize a specific part of the plugin.
1. Generic plugin setup — The plugin contains ~~-prefixed placeholders. These are customization points in a template that need to be replaced with real values (e.g., ~~Jira → Asana, ~~your-team-channel → #engineering).
2. Scoped customization — No ~~ placeholders exist, and the user asked to customize a specific part of the plugin (e.g., "customize the connectors", "update the standup skill", "change the ticket tool"). Read the plugin files to find the relevant section(s) and focus only on those. Do not scan the entire plugin or present unrelated customization items.
Legacy
commands/directories: Some plugins include acommands/directory. The Cowork UI now presents these alongside skills as a single "Skills" concept, so treatcommands/*.mdfiles the same way you wouldskills/*/SKILL.mdfiles when customizing.
3. General customization — No ~~ placeholders exist, and the user wants to modify the plugin broadly. Read the plugin's files to understand its current configuration, then ask the user what they'd like to change.
What ships with it
4 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.
