cpv-link-plugin-marketplace

cpv-link-plugin-marketplace is a skill for Claude Code from Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation. It costs 52 tokens per session (852 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding an existing plugin to a marketplace's plugin list, using either a local folder or a GitHub repository. A marketplace is a collection of plugins that users can discover and install.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to append or replace a plugin entry in marketplace.json and to record whether the plugin comes from a relative local path or a GitHub repository.
Why use it?
It avoids hand-editing the marketplace file and prevents duplicate entries when the same plugin is linked again. Existing plugin entries remain intact.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-link-plugin-marketplace 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 8d 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Appends an existing plugin to an existing marketplace's marketplace.json, preserving entries for other plugins. If a plugin with the same name is already listed, its entry is replaced in place with fresh metadata (so re-runs stay idempotent — one entry per name, never duplicated). Uses the correct source.source schema key (not the legacy source.type). Loaded dynamically via cpv-the-skills-menu, reached via the GitHub setup → Link plugin menu branch.

Prerequisites

  • uv on PATH
  • A local marketplace directory containing .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (or marketplace.json at root)
  • A plugin to link, given as either:
    • A local plugin directory path (will be converted to relative-to-marketplace source)
    • A GitHub repo slug owner/repo (emits {source: "github", repo: "owner/repo"})

Instructions

  1. Confirm the marketplace's marketplace.json exists at the canonical location.
  2. Choose the plugin source form: local path or owner/repo GitHub slug.
  3. Invoke manage_plugin.py --link-plugin <marketplace-path> <plugin-spec>.
  4. The script appends a new entry. Entries for other plugins are left untouched; an existing entry with the same name is replaced in place with fresh metadata.
  5. Re-validate the marketplace via cpv-plugin-validation-skill (or validate_marketplace.py --strict).

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

  • Marketplace path confirmed valid
  • Plugin spec form chosen (local path OR owner/repo)
  • manage_plugin.py --link-plugin executed
  • marketplace.json updated
  • validate_marketplace.py --strict re-run, exit 0

Output

  • A new entry appended to marketplace.json::plugins[].
  • For local plugins: source: "relative-path" with relative path stored.
  • For GitHub plugins: source: "github" with repo: "owner/repo".

Error Handling

Error Resolution
Marketplace not found Verify path; check for .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
Plugin already linked Re-runs are idempotent — the same-name entry is replaced in place (refreshing version/description), never duplicated
Local plugin not found Verify path; .claude-plugin/plugin.json must exist
GitHub repo invalid Verify owner/repo slug exists on GitHub
Validator regression after link Check upstream cross-validation (RC-MKPL-*) findings

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.
