A skill that installs the Maverick command-line tool system-wide from the plugin’s directory or package cache.

Use it to install or force-reinstall the `maverick` command-line tool and receive clear warnings if required files or commands are missing.

It performs the required checks and installation steps in one workflow, including verifying that `uv` and GitHub CLI are available.

Install

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.

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/thermiteau/maverick/do-install

Any agent

npx skills add thermiteau/maverick --skill do-install

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/thermiteau/maverick

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install maverick, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 41 skills, 5 agents, 5 hooks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00017	$0.00459
Opus 5	$0.00009	$0.00230
Sonnet 5	$0.00003	$0.00092
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00046

Security

Grade B, and why

do-install scanned grade B 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 5d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- adds `Read(~/.claude/plugins/cache/thermite/maverick/**)` to `~/.claude/settings.json` `permissions.allow` (idempotent)

What it actually says

Install Maverick CLI

Install the maverick CLI from wherever this plugin is loaded — marketplace cache or local dev checkout.

Execution Context

This skill runs in its own forked context (context: fork) — you are executing it directly; there is no separate agent to dispatch. Follow the process below exactly and end with a structured result: task, SUCCESS or FAILURE, what was done, and any warnings.

Process

Locate the plugin root. This is the directory containing pyproject.toml. If ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} is set, use that. Otherwise resolve two levels above this SKILL.md (i.e. the parent of skills/do-install/). Fail with a clear error if pyproject.toml is not found at the resolved path.
Run the installer. From a shell:
```
uv run --directory <plugin-root> python -m maverick.install_cli
```
The module performs the install procedure end-to-end:
- verifies uv is on PATH
- verifies gh (GitHub CLI) is on PATH — Maverick workflows depend on it for issue and PR operations; the installer fails with platform-specific install instructions if missing
- verifies pyproject.toml exists at the plugin root
- runs uv tool install --force <plugin-root>
- verifies maverick is on PATH (warns about ~/.local/bin if not)
- adds Read(~/.claude/plugins/cache/thermite/maverick/**) to ~/.claude/settings.json permissions.allow (idempotent)
Verify. Run maverick --help and capture the first line.
Report. Return a structured result: install path, whether the settings file was modified or already had the permission entry, and any PATH warnings.

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.
