installing-caplets is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from spiritledsoftware/caplets. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,809 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A safety-focused installation guide for setting up Caplets, which connect coding agents and MCP clients to packaged instructions or tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install, configure, bootstrap, connect, or troubleshoot Caplets for Codex, Claude Code, Pi, OpenCode, MCP clients, local daemons, and self-hosted runtimes.
Why use it?
It reduces unexpected changes by requiring environment checks, an exact installation plan, and user approval before installing, logging in, editing configuration, or writing files.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

installing-caplets 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Installing Caplets

Bootstrap promise

Run a never-surprise install. Detect first, ask before mutating, show one exact plan, then execute only after the user approves that plan.

This skill may be loaded from a raw GitHub URL. When a troubleshooting branch says to read a reference, fetch the absolute URL shown in that branch.

Immediate read-only probe

Run broad read-only detection immediately. Do not install packages, edit config, start login, or write files in this phase.

Use the relevant safe probes for the current OS and shell:

pwd
uname -a 2>/dev/null || true
command -v node npm pnpm bun npx caplets pi opencode codex claude 2>/dev/null || true
node --version 2>/dev/null || true
npm --version 2>/dev/null || true
pnpm --version 2>/dev/null || true
bun --version 2>/dev/null || true
caplets --version 2>/dev/null || true
caplets doctor --format json 2>/dev/null || caplets doctor 2>/dev/null || true

Also inspect only relevant sections of existing agent config files when present. Look for Caplets entries, MCP server entries, native plugin/package entries, and top-level caplets settings. Redact secrets in summaries. Do not dump full config files into chat.

Completion criterion: you can state whether the Caplets CLI exists, which package managers exist, which agent/client appears active or installed, whether a Caplets config/daemon already exists, and whether the current directory appears project-specific (.caplets/ or project config present).

Ask setup questions

Ask after detection and before mutation. Recommend the detected answer, but let the user choose.

Ask only what is needed:

  1. Target agent/client. Include detected current agent first. Name first-class targets: Pi, OpenCode, Codex, Claude Code, and generic MCP clients. You may mention popular MCP clients as generic clients when detection suggests them, but do not invent unsupported client IDs.
  2. Runtime shape. Offer local daemon-first setup and self-hosted remote setup. Hide Caplets Cloud until Cloud is actually available.
  3. Package manager/install method if caplets is missing. Detect available package managers, then ask whether to use a global install such as npm install -g caplets, an equivalent preferred package manager, or temporary npx use.
  4. Scope. Default to user/global setup. Ask about project-local setup only when .caplets/, CAPLETS_PROJECT_CONFIG, or the user’s request indicates repo-specific Caplets.
  5. Remote URL only for self-hosted remote setup. Do not ask for secrets, tokens, passwords, API keys, or credential values in chat.

What ships with it

4 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.

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.
