setup-plugin-host

setup-plugin-host is a skill for Claude Code from OpenLinker-ai/openlinker-plugin. It costs 52 tokens per session (378 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup skill installs and verifies a pinned native host for OpenLinker plugins, including native MCP, Agent Mode, and browser tools. It uses a fixed version and checks its integrity before installation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for planning or installing the host for the current platform and verifying that the required plugin service is available.
Why use it?
It resolves a missing or incorrectly installed host after marketplace installation without requiring Go, the OpenLinker command-line tool, or administrator access.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

setup-plugin-host scanned grade A 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Set Up the Plugin Host

Resolve the installed Plugin root from PLUGIN_ROOT, CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, or this Skill's location (two directories above this directory). Standalone Skills do not include a host installer; in that case install the native marketplace Plugin first.

Run node "<plugin-root>/scripts/install-plugin-host.mjs" --plan and show the pinned version, GitHub release URL, current platform, SHA-256 and destination. Invoking this Skill or /openlinker:install-plugin-host is explicit installation intent; then run the same command without --plan. It installs only the locked host for the current platform into private Plugin data. It needs Node.js 20+, curl and tar; it does not need Go, administrator rights or the platform CLI.

Run node "<plugin-root>/scripts/resolve-plugin-host.mjs" --require plugin.serve to verify. Reload plugins or start a new task after successful installation so the native MCP server restarts. Report the installed version and path only. Do not enable Agent Mode, register an Agent or print credentials during setup.

Do not substitute latest, change the lock, disable TLS/checksums, install a CLI as a host, or download anything during ordinary tool calls. If installation fails, report its exact error; checksum failures leave existing versions intact. If an existing locked installation was damaged, identify that exact immutable installation directory and get explicit repair intent before removing it and rerunning setup. Never remove Agent configuration, session or state directories.

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.
