Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00061 | $0.02156 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01078 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00431 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00216 |
Grade A, and why
cpv-canonical-pipeline 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 3d 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Canonical Plugin Pipeline Standard
Before you diff anything: determine the plugin's PROFILE. The pipeline comes in four profiles and the canon differs per profile, so a diff taken against the wrong one is meaningless — a legitimate 1400-line difference reads as catastrophic drift and invites a destructive "resync" that deletes working release machinery.
The canon for a plugin's
publish.pyisgen_publish_py()inscripts/generate_plugin_repo.py— generate it and diff against that.<cpv>/scripts/publish.pyis CPV's own release pipeline and is NOT a template: it carries none of the per-plugin build gates, so diffing against it reports gates as "missing" that were never supposed to be there.
Overview
Defines the standard files, workflows, hooks, and release pipeline that every Emasoft Claude Code plugin repository MUST have. Covers Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, Go, and Shell plugins. Pipeline supports all three CPV layouts (A: separate plugin and marketplace repos; B: nested monorepo; C: marketplace-in-plugin self-referential single repo).
Profile-aware
The pipeline comes in four PROFILES, auto-detected from repo shape (or set authoritatively via the manifest cpv.pipeline_profile; detection fails safe to standard) by scripts/cpv_pipeline_profile.py's resolve_pipeline_profile(). The profile is a SELECTOR (which canon a file is compared against), never a SUPPRESSOR — every drift finding still fires:
- standard — vendors the CPV validators and ships the standard
gen_*workflows. - remote-validation — de-vendors the local validators; validation is ONLY the remote
cpv-remote-validate --strictgate (its absence is the point). - submodule-build — build sources live in a git submodule, pre-built binaries are committed to
bin/, andpublish.pyis submodule-aware. - binary-release — ships compiled binaries as RELEASE assets via a build matrix + stage script + CI smoke job +
SHA256SUMS.

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.

cpv-canonical-pipeline is a skill published in the GitHub repository Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation (4 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 2,156 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
