plugin-audit

A checker that finds duplicate or overlapping plugins in a Claude Code installation. It compares their commands and skills to reveal collisions and near-duplicates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review installed plugins, find repeated commands or skills, and identify plugins that may shadow one another. It reports findings but does not change or remove plugins.
Why use it?
Duplicate content can use extra context space and make it unclear which plugin should handle a request.

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

plugin-audit scanned grade A 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 2d 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.

Reads agent configuration directorieslowAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- Does not uninstall, disable, or edit any plugin, marketplace entry, or `~/.claude/settings.json` key. It reports; the user (or a follow-up command) acts.

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

Plugin Audit

Finds duplicate or colliding plugins in the current Claude Code installation — the class of finding that a one-off manual sweep is prone to miss. Grew out of a 2026-07-01 session in which a manual 60-plugin review (2026-06-29) had missed workflow@local-plugins, a standalone plugin whose commands/workflow/* fully duplicated craft's own commands/workflow/* namespace (1131 legacy lines vs. craft's 112-line thin shim, same command names). See docs/specs/SPEC-token-efficiency-and-context-tooling-2026-07-01.md Part D #3.

Why this matters

Two plugins registering the same command or skill name — or near-duplicate content under different namespaces (workflow:brainstorm vs. craft:brainstorm) — is both a token-cost problem (duplicate content loads twice) and a correctness problem (routing ambiguity: which one fires?). Manual plugin audits are infrequent and don't scale past a handful of plugins; this skill makes the surface-diff repeatable and cheap enough to run any time plugin state changes.

What this skill does NOT do

  • Does not uninstall, disable, or edit any plugin, marketplace entry, or ~/.claude/settings.json key. It reports; the user (or a follow-up command) acts.
  • Does not evaluate whether a plugin's content quality is good — only whether its surface (command/skill names) collides with another installed plugin's surface.
  • Does not require network access — everything it reads is local (~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/plugins/, each plugin's own repo/cache directory).

Inputs

  1. ~/.claude/settings.jsonenabledPlugins object. Keys are <plugin-name>@<marketplace-name>; only plugins with a truthy value are actually active.
  2. ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json (if present) — richer per-plugin metadata (source path, marketplace, version) than settings.json alone provides. Treat as supplementary, not required — some installations only have settings.json. Schema: {"version": 2, "plugins": {"<name>@<marketplace>": [{"installPath": "...", "version": "...", ...}]}}.plugins is an object keyed by <name>@<marketplace>, each value an ARRAY of install records (usually one). The on-disk path field is installPath, not path.
  3. Each enabled plugin's own directory — resolve via installed_plugins.json's recorded path, or ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/<marketplace>/<plugin>/ / ~/.claude/plugins/repos/... (layout varies by install method: local marketplace vs. GitHub marketplace vs. Desktop). Within that directory, the actual surface is:
    • commands/**/*.md — each file's path (minus the .md) becomes a command name, namespaced as <plugin>:<relative-path-without-ext> (e.g. commands/brainstorm.md<plugin>:workflow:brainstorm).
    • skills/**/SKILL.md — each SKILL.md's parent directory name is the skill name, namespaced the same way.

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.

plugin-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository Data-Wise/craft (4 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 169 tokens to every session and 2,545 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
