cpv-deterministic-codemod

cpv-deterministic-codemod is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation. It costs 80 tokens per session (977 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for applying predictable text edits across many plugin files. A codemod is a program that makes the same kind of code or document change repeatedly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert backtick paths into Markdown links, add table-of-contents or standard-section stubs, remove duplicate blank lines, wrap placeholder paths, update skip lists, and apply several such fixes together.
Why use it?
It handles mechanical fixes consistently without using an AI model for every file. Dry runs and backups let developers review or recover changes before relying on them.

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-deterministic-codemod 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.

cpv-deterministic-codemod

Overview

Bulk-applies the inverse of CPV's detection regexes — read-only audit becomes read-write fix at zero LLM cost. Designed for high-volume mechanical fixes where the cpv-plugin-fixer-agent agent is the wrong tool because the work is line-local and predictable. Addresses GitHub issue #17 and the high-volume Categories C and D of issue #16. Loaded dynamically via cpv-the-skills-menu, reached via the Fix → Deterministic codemod menu branch.

See subcommands for detail.

Prerequisites

  • uv on PATH
  • Target plugin path
  • (Optional) git for reviewing diffs before commit

Instructions

  1. Choose a subcommand: backtick-to-link, add-toc, wrap-placeholder-paths, add-standard-sections, dedup-trailing-blanks, external-skip-list, or all.
  2. Run dry-run first (default — no --apply). Inspect the diff output.
  3. Re-run with --apply to write. A per-file backup is created under .cpv-codemod-backup/<timestamp>/<rel-path>.
  4. Re-validate via cpv-plugin-validation-skill and confirm finding counts dropped.
  5. If something went wrong, restore from .cpv-codemod-backup/<timestamp>/.

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

  • Subcommand chosen
  • Dry-run output reviewed
  • --apply run (backup created)
  • validate_plugin re-run, counts dropped
  • Backup deleted only after commit

Output

  • Modified .md files at the chosen plugin path.
  • Per-file backups under .cpv-codemod-backup/<timestamp>/<rel-path> (atomic, mirrors the plugin layout).
  • A unified-diff print of every change.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
