refresh-plugin-cache

A cache-refresh workflow for the L3DigitalNet Claude Code plugin marketplace. It updates local marketplace indexes and compares installed plugin versions with the listings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refresh marketplace data, check installed plugin versions, and find stale or orphaned plugins in the L3DigitalNet marketplace.
Why use it?
It shows which plugins are current, outdated, or no longer listed without changing the installed plugin files. It also reports when an index could not be refreshed, such as when the network is unavailable.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

refresh-plugin-cache 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/refresh-cache.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- **Orphaned directories**: list sizes, offer to delete with `rm -rf`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Refresh Plugin Cache

Pull the latest l3digitalnet-plugins marketplace index, compare installed plugin versions against current listings, and surface anything stale or orphaned. The claude-plugins-official marketplace is managed by Anthropic and excluded from this workflow.

Workflow

Step 1 — Run the refresh script

bash .claude/skills/refresh-plugin-cache/scripts/refresh-cache.sh

Run from the project root (/home/chris/projects/Claude-Code-Plugins). The script does not modify installed plugin content — it only updates the marketplace index clones and reports status.

Step 2 — Interpret the output

MARKETPLACE INDEX REFRESH — One line per marketplace git clone:

Prefix Meaning
OK Already at latest main; SHA shown for confirmation
UPDATE Pulled new commits; before → after SHAs shown
ERROR git fetch failed — likely offline; cached data still usable
SKIP Directory exists but is not a git repo

INSTALLED PLUGIN VERSION CHECK — Compares installed version (from installed_plugins.json) against the freshly-pulled marketplace listing, for l3digitalnet-plugins only. Does not reflect what is actually running — see LIVE MCP PROCESS CHECK below.

Label Meaning
STALE Installed version differs from marketplace; reinstall needed
CURRENT Installed version matches marketplace

LIVE MCP PROCESS CHECK — Compares the version embedded in the path of each running Node.js MCP process against the version in installed_plugins.json:

Label Meaning
LIVE_OK Running process path version matches installed version
LIVE_SKEW Running process started from an older path; installed_plugins.json was updated mid-session but Claude Code didn't restart the process. Normal reinstall won't fix this — use the hot-patch procedure below.
NOT_RUNNING Plugin is installed but no live process found (MCP not started, or non-MCP plugin)

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

refresh-plugin-cache is a skill published in the GitHub repository L3DigitalNet/Claude-Code-Plugins (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,503 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
