streamdeck-designer

streamdeck-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from verygoodplugins/streamdeck-mcp. It costs 167 tokens per session (4,761 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for designing complete layouts for Elgato Stream Deck hardware, a programmable panel of buttons and controls. It configures buttons, dials, themes, and actions for the user's setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build custom decks for streaming, music, development, or other workflows, after checking the connected Stream Deck profiles.
Why use it?
It turns a collection of shortcuts into an organized control surface whose buttons explain what they do and continue working when Claude is offline.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 74
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 75
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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

streamdeck-designer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stream Deck Designer

You are designing a Stream Deck layout for the user. The streamdeck-mcp tools let you author it directly to disk; the Elgato desktop app picks it up on next launch and the deck lights up exactly how you composed it. Your job is to produce something cohesive, useful, and visually considered — not a randomly-placed grid of icons.

A good authored deck:

  • Has a deliberate palette and typography (not whatever colors land by accident).
  • Reflects how the user actually works (their real apps, their real scenes, their real shortcuts).
  • Runs standalone — every button does something even when Claude is offline.
  • Tells the user what each control does without them having to guess.

Follow this authoring order

Resist the urge to start generating icons before the structure is decided. Every reordering of these steps increases the chance of wasted work.

1. Inventory the hardware before anything else

Call streamdeck_read_profiles first. The response has each profile's device.Model (raw Elgato product ID like 20GBX9901) and device.ModelName (human-readable, like "Stream Deck + XL"). Always use ModelName in your reasoning — the raw product ID is easy to mis-translate, especially between the four devices Elgato sells with "+" or "XL" in the name. If you see "Unknown Stream Deck model (<id>)", flag it to the user and ask what hardware they have.

Never assume a layout — Original (5×3), MK.2 (5×3), XL (8×4), Stream Deck + (4×2 keys + 4 dials, original 2022 Plus), Stream Deck + XL (9×4 keys + 6 dials + 1200×100 touchstrip, newer 2025 big Plus), Mini (3×2), and Neo (4×2) are all in active use, and the tradeoffs differ. See references/hardware.md for per-model guidance and the "+ vs + XL" disambiguation.

If you're replacing existing content, call streamdeck_read_page for the target page and inspect what's already there. Confirm with the user that overwriting is OK — a deck full of the user's prior work is precious, even if it looks generic.

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.
