seed-before-diff-marketplace-registration

seed-before-diff-marketplace-registration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ychampion/cskill-agents. It costs 29 tokens per session (306 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A registration pattern that adds preloaded extension sources to a registry before comparing the registry with the desired installation state.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for extension or MCP registries that start with seeded sources and reconcile them with installed content.
Why use it?
It prevents already available bootstrap content from being treated as missing and installed again.

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

seed-before-diff-marketplace-registration 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 9d 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: Seed-Before-Diff Marketplace Registration

Domain: extensions-mcp Trigger: Use when bootstrap or pre-seeded extension sources should participate in reconcile logic without being recloned or reported as missing. Source Pattern: Distilled from reviewed seeded-source bootstrap and reconcile flows.

Core Method

Insert seeded or bootstrap sources into the materialized registry before computing the install diff. That lets the reconciler classify seeded entries as already present instead of missing, which avoids redundant installs and aligns early cache behavior with the real source set. If seed registration changes the materialized registry, propagate that as a real change and clear dependent caches immediately.

Key Rules

  • Register seeds before diffing so bootstrap content is not misclassified as missing.
  • Keep seed registration idempotent so repeated startups can re-run it safely.
  • Treat seed registration as a real materialized change when it alters registry state.

Example Application

If a headless runtime starts with a mounted seed directory of official sources, register those seeds first so the reconcile pass skips unnecessary clone work.

Anti-Patterns (What NOT to do)

  • Do not diff before seed registration.
  • Do not skip cache invalidation when seed registration changed the materialized state.
  • Do not maintain seeded sources outside the normal registry contract.
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.
