create-plugin-scaffold

create-plugin-scaffold is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,020 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of create-plugin-scaffold, Apache-2.0.

A generator for a new local coding-agent plugin directory. It creates the plugin's manifest, entry point, standard folders, and then checks that the resulting structure is valid.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a plugin or marketplace package. Provide its name and target directory, and optionally choose the agent platform, entry filename, and manifest details.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive setup work and lowers the chance of missing required files or using an invalid manifest. The generated files stay in the local filesystem.

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

create-plugin-scaffold 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 3d 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.

Create plugin scaffold

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger The user asks to create an agent plugin or marketplace package
Authority Reversible local writes: create files and directories under a new plugin tree. No remote, VCS, credential, paid, published, or deployed mutation
Side effect Creates a plugin tree on the local filesystem. Scope is bounded to the named plugin directory before any file is written
Done A valid plugin scaffold tree exists and a validation report confirms manifest fields, entry points, and directory layout

Inputs

  • Plugin name (required): the directory name and manifest identifier for the new plugin.
  • Target root directory (required): the filesystem path under which the plugin tree is created.
  • Target ecosystem (optional): the host agent platform the scaffold targets. Determines the manifest filename, schema, and registration API. Defaults to Claude Code (plugin.json with .claude-plugin/ schema).
  • Entry point file name (optional): defaults to index.ts; supplied when a non-default entry is needed.
  • Plugin manifest fields (optional): author, version, description, and capability list. Apply defaults to omitted fields.

Procedure

  1. Resolve the target path and verify write access. Confirm the plugin name and target root are present. Resolve the target root to an absolute path and verify it exists and is writable. Compute the plugin directory as <target root>/<plugin name>. If it already exists and is non-empty, stop and report the collision rather than overwriting. Done when: the plugin directory path is computed and confirmed not to collide with an existing non-empty directory.
  2. Create the standard directory tree. Create the plugin root, an agents/ subdirectory, and a skills/ subdirectory. Done when: the plugin root, agents/, and skills/ directories exist.
  3. Write the host-specific plugin manifest(s) matching the target ecosystem. For Claude Code: write two manifests kept in parity: a root plugin.json carrying the agent-plugins.org schema ($schema, name, version default 0.1.0, description, author as an object, and an extensions block), and a .claude-plugin/plugin.json carrying the Claude manifest schema ($schema, name matching the root, displayName, version, description, author); the repo's gates require matching name and parity between the two, so populate both from the same values. For other ecosystems: write the manifest filename and schema that ecosystem requires. Done when: the manifest(s) are written with all fields populated from supplied values or defaults, conforming to the target ecosystem's schema.
  4. Provide the entry surface the target ecosystem requires. For Claude Code: no entry point is needed; the plugin is declarative, loaded by the host from skills/ and agents/. For other ecosystems: write the entry point file at the plugin root using the supplied or default name, exporting the registration function the host calls to load the plugin. Done when: the entry surface the ecosystem requires is present, or a declarative host is confirmed to need none.
  5. Validate the layout against the manifest. Confirm the manifest parses as valid JSON, every declared entry point file exists, the agents/ and skills/ directories are present, and no required manifest field is missing. Done when: every validation check passes or every failure is identified.

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.
