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

marketplace-release 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 12d 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.

Marketplace Release Automation

A portable release script for Claude Code plugin marketplaces with independent plugin versioning. Each plugin in a marketplace maintains its own version and can be released separately.

Prerequisites

  1. GitHub CLI authenticated: gh auth status
  2. Clean git state (or acknowledge uncommitted changes)
  3. marketplace.json at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
  4. Run from the marketplace root directory

Usage

# Release a specific plugin
python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/release.py" <bump-type> <plugin-name> "<release-notes>"

# List all plugins and their versions
python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/release.py" --list

# Or copy script to marketplace and run from root
python scripts/release.py <bump-type> <plugin-name> "<release-notes>"

Examples

# Patch release for ghe plugin
python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/release.py" patch ghe "Fix avatar loading issue"

# Minor release for marketplace-utils
python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/release.py" minor marketplace-utils "Add TOC generator"

# Major release with breaking changes
python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/release.py" major ghe "Breaking: New API structure"

# View all plugins and current versions
python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/release.py" --list

Version Bump Types

Type When to Use Example
patch Bug fixes, minor improvements 0.5.4 -> 0.5.5
minor New features, non-breaking changes 0.5.5 -> 0.6.0
major Breaking changes, major rewrites 0.6.0 -> 1.0.0

What It Does

  1. Validates prerequisites - Checks gh CLI, git repo, uncommitted changes
  2. Validates plugin - Runs claude plugin validate to ensure plugin is correct
  3. Bumps plugin version - In both marketplace.json and the plugin's plugin.json
  4. Updates script versions - Automatically updates __version__ in all scripts (marketplace-utils only)
  5. Updates READMEs - Plugin README badges + marketplace README version table
  6. Creates commit - With release message
  7. Creates git tag - Plugin-specific tag: <plugin-name>-v<version>
  8. Pushes to remote - Both commit and tag
  9. Creates GitHub release - With installation instructions

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.
