cpv-add-dependency

cpv-add-dependency is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,057 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for adding dependency entries to a plugin's plugin.json file. A dependency is another plugin or package that the target plugin needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add explicit dependencies or copy dependencies from another plugin. It supports local plugins and, for some inputs, GitHub sources.
Why use it?
It previews the change, writes it safely, validates the result, and can roll back if the change introduces serious problems.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

cpv-add-dependency 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 5d 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.

cpv-add-dependency

Overview

Adds one or more plugin dependencies to a target plugin's plugin.json::dependencies array. Two input modes that can be combined; the engine deduplicates by name (last-write-wins), sorts the result alphabetically, writes atomically, and rolls back from a .bak if the post-write validation introduces any new CRITICAL/MAJOR finding. Loaded dynamically via cpv-the-skills-menu, reached via the Create → Add dependencies menu branch.

Prerequisites

  • uv on PATH
  • Target plugin path with .claude-plugin/plugin.json
  • For --from git URLs: network access and git on PATH
  • For cross-marketplace deps: the hosting marketplace's marketplace.json::allowCrossMarketplaceDependenciesOn allowlist updated

Instructions

  1. Always start with --dry-run to preview the diff against plugin.json.
  2. Choose --add (explicit specs) and/or --from (copy from another plugin).
  3. Use kebab-case names; versions accept any semver-range expression (~1.2.0, ^2.0, >=1.4).
  4. Run the real invocation; the script writes atomically (tmp + rename) and re-runs validate_plugin --strict.
  5. If exit code is 3 (rollback), inspect the diff, narrow the spec, and re-try.
  6. For unversioned bare-string adds, validate_plugin --strict emits a WARNING that the dependency auto-tracks the latest upstream tag. The only valid resolution is to pin a semver range (name@@~1.2.0); there is no config opt-out (cpv.allow_unversioned_dependencies was removed in TRDD-02e1672b and is now ignored with a [RC-DEPRECATED-OPTOUT] deprecation WARNING if present).

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

  • Dry-run reviewed
  • Explicit specs or --from source confirmed
  • Real invocation run
  • Exit code 0 (or 3 → analyze rollback reason)
  • validate_plugin --strict re-run on target

Output

  • Updated plugin.json::dependencies array, sorted alphabetically, deduplicated by name.
  • Atomic write via tmp + rename.
  • .bak left next to plugin.json after a successful update so a human can roll back manually if needed.
  • Exit code 0 on success, 1 on bad args, 2 on --from source unreadable, 3 on rollback after regression, 4 on atomic-write failure.

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.
