canonical-root-marketplace-path-normalization

canonical-root-marketplace-path-normalization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ychampion/cskill-agents. It costs 28 tokens per session (324 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A path-normalization rule for shared extension registries that resolves relative paths against one canonical repository root. This keeps the same source identified consistently across worktrees, which are separate checkouts of one repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when comparing or updating marketplace extension records across multiple worktrees.
Why use it?
It prevents equivalent paths from appearing different and avoids shared records pointing at temporary checkouts that no longer exist.

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

canonical-root-marketplace-path-normalization 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

SKILL: Canonical-Root Marketplace Path Normalization

Domain: extensions-mcp Trigger: Use when project settings declare relative extension paths but the shared registry spans multiple worktrees or checkouts. Source Pattern: Distilled from reviewed shared-registry path normalization logic.

Core Method

Resolve relative local source paths against the repository's canonical root rather than the current worktree directory before comparing them to shared registry entries. This produces one stable identity for a shared record, prevents worktrees from overwriting each other with checkout-specific paths, and avoids dead paths when temporary worktrees disappear. Normalize before diffing so equivalent repo-relative settings are treated as the same source.

Key Rules

  • Normalize shared local paths against the canonical repo root, not the active worktree.
  • Run normalization before diff comparison so equivalent sources do not look like drift.
  • Preserve a valid existing entry when a transient worktree path is missing but the canonical source is still the same.

Example Application

If a repo declares ./plugins/internal, normalize it against the canonical checkout root so every worktree resolves to the same shared registry path.

Anti-Patterns (What NOT to do)

  • Do not stamp worktree-specific absolute paths into a user-global registry.
  • Do not treat equivalent repo-relative paths as true source changes.
  • Do not overwrite a valid shared entry with a dead temporary path.

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.
