view-bridge

view-bridge is a skill for Claude Code from Generous-Corp/pulp. It costs 46 tokens per session (32,799 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A technical guide for managing editor windows in Pulp audio plug-ins across formats such as VST3, AU, CLAP, AAX, and standalone apps. It explains how views open, resize, close, and transfer ownership.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a custom plug-in editor, adding a format adapter, responding to editor events, or handing a view to another container.
Why use it?
It documents lifecycle rules that prevent plug-in editors and secondary views from being attached or released incorrectly.

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 C, and why

view-bridge scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

ViewBridge skill

TL;DR. Every Pulp plugin format adapter (VST3, AU v2, AU v3, CLAP, AAX, Standalone) opens its editor through pulp::format::ViewBridge. You only touch the bridge when you override Processor::create_view() or write a new adapter. This skill captures the invariants the API enforces and the pitfalls that bit us enough times to be worth remembering.

When to use ViewBridge

Task Touch ViewBridge?
Add a knob to the auto-generated editor No — just define_parameters
Return a hand-built view::View tree from a processor Yes — override Processor::create_view()
React when the host actually shows / resizes / closes the editor Yes — override on_view_opened / on_view_closed / on_view_resized
Add a new format adapter Yes — construct a ViewBridge and follow the lifecycle protocol
Hand the built view to an external container (TabPanel, WindowHost) Yes — call ViewBridge::release_view()
Ship a paint-only overlay No — the legacy standalone inspector runtime was removed; compose canonical control separately

Native scripted UI is not a WebView

ScriptedUiSession, WidgetBridge, and @pulp/react execute through Pulp's JS engine and native Skia/Dawn view tree; they do not require WebViewPanel. In an SDK configured with PULP_BUILD_WEBVIEW=ON, use pulp::view-native (or pulp_add_plugin(... NATIVE_UI), which also selects pulp::standalone-native) when the shipped artifact must not link WebKit, WebView2, or WebKitGTK. The legacy pulp::view and pulp::standalone targets remain the compatibility composition for products that instantiate WebViewPanel. Do not put WebView sources or framework links back onto pulp-view-core, pulp-view-script, or pulp-format; static-library private links propagate to the final consumer and silently contaminate native plugins.

Processor's editor hooks (create_view, view_size, on_view_*) are part of the node ABI surface. When adding a new view lifecycle hook, append the virtual at the tail of Processor; never insert, remove, reorder, or re-signature existing virtuals. tools/scripts/node_abi_gate.py --mode=report is the fast check before pushing. The same rule applies to non-view Processor virtuals: additive callbacks such as process_f64(...) belong after the existing f32 process surface, and descriptor fields added for new capabilities should be appended when positional aggregate initializer compatibility matters.

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.

view-bridge is a skill published in the GitHub repository Generous-Corp/pulp (16 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 32,799 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
