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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00054	$0.01374
Opus 5.5	$0.00022	$0.00550
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00275
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00137

Security

Grade A, and why

cpv-setup-plugin-repo 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 2mo 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.

Setup Plugin Repository

Overview

Creates a Claude Code plugin GitHub repo with CI/CD, git hooks, and marketplace notification.

Prerequisites

gh CLI authenticated, git, uv, and uvx on PATH
GitHub PAT with repo scope (optional, for marketplace)

Note: the CPV validator is fetched remotely from GitHub via uvx. Downstream plugins do NOT vendor scripts/validate_plugin.py — the canonical pipeline runs cpv-remote-validate plugin . --strict which pulls the current CPV release automatically.

Instructions

Create GitHub repo: gh repo create <owner>/<name> --public --clone, then cd into it
Initialize plugin: create standard files from plugin-repo-templates (see Resources)
(Layout C only) Add self-marketplace: also create the marketplace manifest with a single self-entry, source "./". Both manifests share the same name and version.
Install workflows: copy ci.yml and release.yml from plugin-workflows. Skip notify-marketplace.yml for Layout B/C (no separate marketplace repo).
Install git hooks: uv run python scripts/publish.py --install-hook
Configure marketplace (Layout A only): uv run python scripts/set_marketplace_pat.py <owner>/<repo>. Skip for B/C.
Validate: uvx --from git+https://github.com/Emasoft/claude-plugins-validation --with pyyaml cpv-remote-validate plugin . --strict. Layout C also runs validate_marketplace.py --strict for name/version sync.
Commit and push: stage, commit "Initial plugin scaffold", push to main

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

Create GitHub repo
Initialize plugin structure
(Layout C) Add self-marketplace manifest
Install CI/CD workflows (skip notify-marketplace.yml for B/C)
Install git hooks
Configure marketplace notification (Layout A only)
Validate (plugin + marketplace for Layout C)
Commit and push

Output

Report: repo URL, VALID/INVALID + severity counts, installed workflows/hooks, skipped steps.

What ships with it

6 files 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.
