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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/bump_version.py, scripts/create_plugin.py), 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.

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.

Overview

Create and manage Claude Code plugins with proper structure, manifests, and marketplace integration. This skill provides workflows, automation scripts, and reference documentation for plugin development.

When to Use This Skill

Trigger this skill when:

  • Creating new plugins for a marketplace
  • Adding or modifying plugin components (commands, skills, agents, hooks)
  • Updating plugin versions
  • Working with plugin or marketplace manifests
  • Setting up local plugin testing
  • Publishing plugins to marketplaces

Quick Start

Creating a New Plugin

Use the create_plugin.py script to generate plugin structure:

python scripts/create_plugin.py plugin-name \
  --marketplace-root /path/to/marketplace \
  --author-name "Your Name" \
  --author-email "[email protected]" \
  --description "Plugin description" \
  --keywords "keyword1,keyword2" \
  --category "productivity"

This automatically:

  • Creates plugin directory structure
  • Generates plugin.json manifest
  • Creates README template
  • Updates marketplace.json

Bumping Plugin Version

Use bump_version.py to update versions in both manifests:

python scripts/bump_version.py plugin-name major|minor|patch \
  --marketplace-root /path/to/marketplace

Semantic versioning rules:

  • major: Breaking changes (1.0.0 → 2.0.0)
  • minor: New features, refactoring (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)
  • patch: Bug fixes, docs only (1.0.0 → 1.0.1)

Plugin Development Workflow

1. Create Plugin Structure

Manual approach if not using create_plugin.py:

mkdir -p plugins/plugin-name/.claude-plugin
mkdir -p plugins/plugin-name/commands
mkdir -p plugins/plugin-name/skills

2. Create Plugin Manifest

5 files 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.

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.
