plugin-development

plugin-development is a skill for Claude Code from evoelsewhere/evoflux. It costs 115 tokens per session (2,706 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building and maintaining portable add-ons for EvoFlux Agent, including their manifest, skills, tool servers, credentials, stored data, and installation lifecycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, extend, test, debug, package, or verify EvoFlux Agent add-ons and their installation or runtime behavior.
Why use it?
It helps developers keep an add-on valid, portable, testable, and compatible with the way users install and run it. It also distinguishes managed add-on packages from other trusted plug-in types.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Agent Snooping · line 109
    Skill accesses MCP server configuration files (mcp.json). MCP configs contain server URLs, authentication tokens, and tool definitions — reading them allows the skill to discover and potentially abuse other tool integrations.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that read MCP configuration files (mcp.json). MCP server details should be managed by the agent runtime, not read by individual skills.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 105
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

plugin-development 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 17d 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 — 217 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

EvoFlux Plugin Development

Build portable Agent Plugins as isolated packages, then prove the package through the same lifecycle an EvoFlux user exercises. Keep the package contract portable and isolate EvoFlux-specific behavior in declared extensions.

Choose the workflow

Select the smallest path that covers the requested outcome:

  • Package authoring: create or change the manifest, Skills, MCP servers, credentials, data use, tests, or archive.
  • Package debugging: locate the first invalid or stale package/runtime boundary and add a regression test there.
  • Platform development: change generic validation, lifecycle, runtime, API, CLI, or Plugin Center behavior without adding a domain-specific bundle.

First confirm that “plugin” means a managed Plugin Center package. EvoFlux also has trusted in-process hooks: those are single .py files discovered from the plugins/ subdirectory of the EvoFlux configuration directory (or the directories listed in EVOFLUX_PLUGINS_DIRS) and must export async def plugin() or class Plugin(BaseAgentHook). They are a different trust/runtime contract and must never be scaffolded as an Agent Plugin directory. Provider plugins are also loaded from that trusted file root by their own registry.

Hand adjacent operations to their owning workflow:

  • Installing a trusted single-file hook from a raw Python URL: read the plugin-installer skill.
  • A standalone skill that is not packaged in a plugin: read the skill-creator skill.
  • Global user/project MCP configuration outside a plugin: read the mcp-installer skill.
  • For a finished package that only needs installation, use Plugin Center or the plugin CLI directly.
  • Do not invent commands, agents, a storage SDK, signatures, registry import, or rich connection types; none of those is part of the platform contract.

Load the right contracts

Read only the references required by the work, but read each selected file completely:

  • Read package-contract.md before creating or changing package structure, plugin.json, Skills, packaging, or installation behavior.
  • Read runtime-and-credentials.md before implementing or debugging MCP, credentials, environment variables, data, tool grants, or runtime readiness.
  • Read test-and-debug.md before testing, debugging, packing, updating, or declaring completion.
  • Read evoflux-source-map.md when changing the Plugin Platform inside the EvoFlux repository or when exact CLI, API, or host UI ownership matters.

What ships with it

4 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.
