plugin-installer

plugin-installer is a skill for Claude Code from evoelsewhere/evoflux. It costs 92 tokens per session (704 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A controlled installer for a single Python hook plugin supplied through a direct raw URL. It reviews the file before placing it in the EvoFlux plugin directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch, inspect, and install a trusted one-file EvoFlux agent-loop plugin when you have its explicit HTTPS raw-file URL.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of installing an executable hook without understanding what it imports, runs, downloads, or changes. The review rejects unsupported formats and suspicious behavior.

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-installer 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 22d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Install a single-file EvoFlux plugin

Plugins run in-process with agent permissions. Treat installation as executable code review, not ordinary file download. The supported runtime contract is one .py file in the plugins/ subdirectory of the EvoFlux configuration directory (its absolute path is stated in the Skills section of the system prompt), exporting either async def plugin() or class Plugin(BaseAgentHook). Below, "the plugin directory" means that plugins/ subdirectory.

State machine

1. FETCH

Require an explicit https:// raw Python URL. Fetch read-only into a temporary location. Reject redirects or responses that produce HTML, an archive, multiple files, a dependency manifest, an absolute/traversal filename, a leading-underscore filename, or a non-.py basename.

2. INSPECT

Read the complete file. Require one supported entry point and inspect imports, top-level execution, subprocess/network/file access, secret handling, dynamic evaluation, persistence, and hook mutations. Show the user the source URL, target filename, entry point, material capabilities, and suspicious behavior; do not reduce review to checking one string.

Do not install code that downloads additional executable content, embeds credentials, disables permission boundaries, or cannot be understood as a single-file hook. Do not author or repair untrusted plugin code inside this workflow.

3. RESOLVE COLLISION

If the target exists, read it and show the material diff. An explicit request to "update" authorizes replacement only after the fetched code and diff have been shown; an ambiguous install collision requires confirmation. Preserve the existing file when validation or approval fails.

4. INSTALL

Write exactly one file, <validated-basename>.py, into the plugin directory. Do not create package directories, install dependencies, or touch unrelated plugins.

5. VERIFY

Read the installed file back, confirm its hash/content matches the reviewed payload, and validate that the entry point remains present. Hook plugins are cached per agent/role, so report that a runtime restart is required before the new or replaced hook is reliably active. Never claim activation merely from a successful write.

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.
