arduino-skills: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/plugin-creator/SKILL.md

plugin-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,460 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scaffolding tool for creating Codex plugin folders with the required manifest file and optional supporting folders. It also supports creating or updating a marketplace entry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a local plugin skeleton, prepare it for testing or publishing, and add it to a repository marketplace list.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the folder layout and required files when starting a plugin.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: shipped in a Claude Code plugin, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on arduino-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything arduino-skills configures →

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 establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

plugin-creator 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/create_basic_plugin.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plugin Creator

Quick Start

  1. Run the scaffold script:
  # Plugin names are normalized to lower-case hyphen-case and must be <= 64 chars.
  # The generated folder and plugin.json name are always the same.
# Run from repo root (or replace .agents/... with the absolute path to this SKILL).
# By default creates in <repo_root>/plugins/<plugin-name>.
python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py <plugin-name>
  1. Open <plugin-path>/.codex-plugin/plugin.json and replace [TODO: ...] placeholders.

  2. Generate or update the repo marketplace entry when the plugin should appear in Codex UI ordering:

# marketplace.json always lives at <repo-root>/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json
python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py my-plugin --with-marketplace

For a home-local plugin, treat <home> as the root and use:

python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py my-plugin \
  --path ~/plugins \
  --marketplace-path ~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json \
  --with-marketplace
  1. Generate/adjust optional companion folders as needed:
python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/create_basic_plugin.py my-plugin --path <parent-plugin-directory> \
  --with-skills --with-hooks --with-scripts --with-assets --with-mcp --with-apps --with-marketplace

<parent-plugin-directory> is the directory where the plugin folder <plugin-name> will be created (for example ~/code/plugins).

What this skill creates

  • If the user has not made the plugin location explicit, ask whether they want a repo-local plugin or a home-local plugin before generating marketplace entries.
  • Creates plugin root at /<parent-plugin-directory>/<plugin-name>/.
  • Always creates /<parent-plugin-directory>/<plugin-name>/.codex-plugin/plugin.json.
  • Fills the manifest with the full schema shape, placeholder values, and the complete interface section.
  • Creates or updates <repo-root>/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json when --with-marketplace is set.
    • If the marketplace file does not exist yet, seed top-level name plus interface.displayName placeholders before adding the first plugin entry.
  • <plugin-name> is normalized using skill-creator naming rules:
    • My Pluginmy-plugin
    • My--Pluginmy-plugin
    • underscores, spaces, and punctuation are converted to -
    • result is lower-case hyphen-delimited with consecutive hyphens collapsed
  • Supports optional creation of:
    • skills/
    • hooks/
    • scripts/
    • assets/
    • .mcp.json
    • .app.json

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.
