sample-plugin

A small test add-on for checking how a coding agent reads older and newer plugin metadata. It also defines a short workflow for asking discovery questions, planning with TodoWrite, and producing a deck artifact.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for backwards-compatibility tests of plugin metadata and for testing brief-to-deck workflows.
Why use it?
It helps developers verify that plugin installation remains compatible when an optional metadata file is missing. It also provides a repeatable test brief workflow.

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 A, and why

sample-plugin 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 yesterday.

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

Sample Plugin

This is the SKILL.md half of the Phase 1 e2e fixture. The companion open-design.json sidecar carries the canonical OpenDesign plugin manifest fields; this file proves the SKILL-only adapter path stays honest when an install lacks an explicit sidecar (just delete open-design.json to test the legacy compat tier).

Workflow

  1. Acknowledge the user's brief via the discovery question form atom.
  2. Use TodoWrite to plan the brief.
  3. Emit the brief as a deck artifact.
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.

sample-plugin is a skill published in the GitHub repository nexu-io/open-design (92,778 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 166 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
