acquire

acquire is a skill for Claude Code from XBlueSky/cc-loadout. It costs 122 tokens per session (792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-only switch for enabling a deliberately excluded plugin in the current code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Temporarily enabling a named on-demand plugin, such as PixiJS skills or a vendor-specific tool, with the cc-loadout command-line tool.
Why use it?
It lets you use a specialised plugin for one task without adding it to your usual setup. The plugin is removed automatically when the session ends.

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

acquire 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 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.

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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Acquire an on-demand plugin for this session

You enable a Profiles.on_demand plugin in the current repo, scoped to this session, via the cc-loadout CLI. You do not edit .claude/settings.local.json or the on-demand state file yourself — the CLI does both.

Prerequisite

The cc-loadout CLI must be installed (cc-loadout --version). If it's missing, that's normally the SessionStart hook not having run yet or having failed — have the user start a fresh session first; install.sh is the fix only for someone using the CLI without the plugin.

Steps

  1. Resolve which plugin. If the user named one (e.g. /cc-loadout:acquire pixijs-skills), match it against the on_demand list:

    cc-loadout profile on-demand list --json
    

    Fuzzy-match the given name against the returned keys (e.g. pixijs-skills matching pixijs-skills@some-marketplace). If there's no match, show the full list and ask which one they meant — do not guess silently.

    If the user gave no name, run the same list --json command, present every key (and its live_holders count if non-zero) to the user, and ask which one to acquire.

  2. Acquire it:

    cc-loadout profile on-demand acquire <key>
    

    If this fails with a CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID not set error, tell the user their Claude Code is too old to export the session id to Bash (it needs v2.1.132 or later) — upgrading Claude Code is the fix — and stop.

  3. Tell the user to reload. The plugin is now enabled in .claude/settings.local.json, but Claude Code doesn't pick up newly enabled plugin components until you run:

    /reload-plugins
    

    Tell the user to run it now themselves — you cannot invoke a slash command on their behalf.

  4. Remind them it's session-scoped. It will revert automatically when this session ends (via the cc-loadout SessionEnd hook). If they want to release it early, point them at /cc-loadout:release.

Guardrails

  • Let the CLI own state. Do not edit .claude/settings.local.json or the on-demand state file directly yourself — cc-loadout profile on-demand acquire does both.
  • Only on_demand plugins are acquirable. A plugin not returned by profile on-demand list cannot be acquired this way — it needs to be added to Profiles.on_demand first (via /cc-loadout:init's Assign flow).
  • Never invoke /reload-plugins on the user's behalf. Tell them to run it themselves; no hook can fire a slash command for them.

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.
