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

releasing-plugin-versions 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Releasing Plugin Versions

Critical Distinction

metadata.version ≠ plugin version. These are DIFFERENT things:

Field What It Tracks When to Update
plugins[].version Individual plugin version Every plugin release
metadata.version Marketplace catalog structure Adding/removing plugins ONLY

Common mistake: Thinking metadata.version should "stay in sync" with plugin versions. It should NOT.

Plugin Version Locations (Update ALL 4)

When releasing a plugin (e.g., swift 1.2.0 → 1.3.0):

  1. plugins/swift/.claude-plugin/plugin.json"version": "1.3.0"
  2. .claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonplugins[].version: "1.3.0"
  3. plugins/swift/README.md → Version section: 1.3.0
  4. README.md (root) → Available Plugins table: 1.3.0

Release Commands

# 1. Stage changes
git add -A

# 2. Commit
git commit -m "Release swift v1.3.0

- Description of changes"

# 3. Tag (format: v1.3.0, NOT swift-v1.3.0)
git tag v1.3.0

# 4. Push
git push && git push origin v1.3.0

# 5. GitHub release
gh release create v1.3.0 --title "v1.3.0" --notes "## Changes

- Change 1
- Change 2

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/compare/v1.2.0...v1.3.0"

Tag Format

Use v1.3.0, NOT swift-v1.3.0. Check existing tags:

git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -5

When NOT to Update metadata.version

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.
