What is plasmoid-manage?

A set of commands for managing KDE Plasma widgets, also called plasmoids. Widgets are small applications placed on the desktop or in a panel, such as clocks or system monitors.

Use it to list, install, update, remove, and place existing widgets on Plasma panels or the desktop.

It lets you change the active desktop layout from scripts instead of adding or removing widgets manually.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00043	$0.00454
Opus 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00182
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00091
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00045

Security

Grade A, and why

plasmoid-manage 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 today.

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.

# Update an existing one:
kpackagetool6 --type=Plasma/Applet --upgrade /path/to/foo.plasmoid

Remove

kpackagetool6 --type=Plasma/Applet --remove org.kde.plasma.foo

Add a widget to a panel (scripted)

qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell evaluateScript '
  var panel = panels()[0];
  panel.addWidget("org.kde.plasma.foo");
'

Add a widget to the desktop

qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell evaluateScript '
  var d = desktops()[0];
  d.addWidget("org.kde.plasma.foo");
'

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.
