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-create-plugin 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 1mo 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.

Create Plugin / Marketplace

Overview

Scaffolds complete Claude Code plugin or marketplace repositories with standard files, CI/CD workflows, git hooks, and release pipeline.

Marketplace layout

CPV supports three layouts: A (hub-and-spoke), B (nested), C (marketplace-in-plugin, self-referential). Default to A for multi-plugin sets; suggest C when one repo should be both plugin and marketplace. See marketplace-layouts.md.

Prerequisites

  • git, uv, gh CLI on PATH
  • CPV plugin installed
  • GitHub account (for publishing)

Instructions

  1. Create a Plugin Repository:

    uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/generate_plugin_repo.py" <target-dir> \
      --name <plugin-name> --description "<description>" \
      --author "<author>" --author-email "<email>" \
      --github-owner <github-username> [--marketplace <name>]
    
  2. Create a Marketplace Hub (HUBS ONLY — no plugin code inside):

    uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/generate_marketplace_repo.py" <target-dir> \
      --name <marketplace-name> --owner-name "<display-name>" \
      --description "<description>" --github-owner <github-username>
    
  3. After generation:

    • Validate via launcher (alias plugin) — see references/launcher-invocation.md. Direct invocation refused.

      The one-liner · Why the launcher is mandatory · Direct invocation (development only)

    • Fix ALL issues (CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, NIT) — only WARNINGs may remain
    • Init git: cd <target-dir> && git init && git add <the scaffolded paths> && git commit -m "Initial scaffold" (stage by name — a scaffold dir often already holds local scratch, and -A sweeps it into the first commit)
    • Create repo: gh repo create <owner>/<name> --public --source . --push
    • Configure hooks: git config core.hooksPath git-hooks

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

  • Repository generated
  • Validation passed
  • All issues fixed
  • Git initialized and committed
  • GitHub repo created
  • Hooks configured

Changes

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.
