Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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-creator 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 2d 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plugin Creator

Scaffold a well-formed Claude Code plugin with exactly the components the user wants - no more, no less. A plugin is a self-contained directory with a manifest (.claude-plugin/plugin.json) plus any of: skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, LSP servers, bin executables, output styles, default settings. This tool generates the correct structure, writes a valid manifest, adds a marketplace entry when requested, and explains how to test locally with --plugin-dir.

Core Principles

Principle Meaning
Manifest is optional, but recommended If omitted, the directory name becomes the plugin name and components auto-discover at default locations. Provide one whenever metadata, versioning, or custom paths matter.
Default locations first Prefer skills/, agents/, hooks/hooks.json, .mcp.json, .lsp.json at plugin root. Only override paths in plugin.json when there is a real reason.
Components live at the root, not in .claude-plugin/ Only plugin.json belongs inside .claude-plugin/. Everything else (skills/, agents/, etc.) is at the plugin root. This is the single most common mistake.
Use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} for every plugin-internal path Absolute paths break when the plugin is cached. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} resolves to the installed plugin directory at runtime. Use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA} for state that must survive updates.
Namespacing is automatic Plugin skills are always invoked as /plugin-name:skill-name. Names are derived from the name field in plugin.json (or directory name if no manifest).
Semantic versioning in one place Set version in plugin.json OR in the marketplace entry - not both. When present in both, plugin.json wins.

Workflow

This skill uses guided phases - each phase is a separate file loaded one at a time. Every phase ends with a gate where you must wait for user confirmation before proceeding. Do not skip phases or merge them.

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.
