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-development 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.

Plugin Development

Purpose

Package a coherent set of agent capabilities — skills, slash commands, hooks, and MCP servers — into something another person can install in one step and that works immediately.

When to Use

  • Distributing skills or commands to a team or publicly.
  • Bundling a set of related capabilities that belong together.
  • Publishing to a plugin marketplace.
  • Versioning and updating an existing plugin.

Capabilities

  • Plugin structure and manifest.
  • Bundling skills, commands, hooks, agents, and MCP servers.
  • Versioning and compatibility.
  • Testing a plugin before distribution.
  • Marketplace publication.

Inputs

  • The capabilities to bundle, and their coherence as a set.
  • The audience and what they already have installed.
  • Any external dependencies: MCP servers, API keys, binaries.

Outputs

  • A plugin that installs cleanly and works without further configuration.
  • A manifest with accurate metadata.
  • Documentation of what it provides and what it requires.

Workflow

  1. Bundle around a coherent purpose — A plugin is a set of capabilities that a specific kind of user needs together. A grab-bag of unrelated skills is a worse experience than several focused plugins.
  2. Write the manifest accurately — Name, description, version, and what it provides. This is what users see when deciding whether to install.
  3. Declare the dependencies honestly — If a skill requires an MCP server, an API key, or a binary on the PATH, say so prominently. A plugin that silently fails on a missing dependency will be uninstalled.
  4. Test from a clean install — In an environment without your local configuration. Plugins that "work on my machine" are the standard failure.
  5. Version semantically — A breaking change to a skill's behavior is a major version. Users have workflows built on it.
  6. Document what it does, not what it is — Users care about what problems it solves.

Best Practices

  • A plugin's skills should not overlap with each other. If two skills in one plugin trigger on the same request, they will both load and cost double.
  • Declare external requirements at the top of the README. The most common plugin failure is an unstated dependency.
  • Provide a working example in the README — a real request and what the plugin does with it. This is worth more than a feature list.
  • Do not bundle a skill that duplicates something the agent does well already. It adds cost and no capability.
  • Test the uninstall path. A plugin that leaves hooks behind after removal is a bug that is hard for a user to diagnose.
  • Pin any MCP server version the plugin depends on. An upstream change to a tool's schema will break your skills silently.

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.
