Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

plastic-install 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 2d 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 — 216 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Install Plastic

Recommended path: for a first install, run npx -y @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude in your shell (or bunx -y @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude if you use Bun). This skill exists to re-install or repair an existing setup from inside the agent, and to drive interactive global configuration. Whenever this skill performs an install or re-install, it runs /plastic-doctor afterward and reports the result.

Channel rule

If Plastic is installed, derive <channel> from ~/.plastic/VERSION: a version containing -alpha means @alpha, -beta means @beta, otherwise @latest. If not installed (first install), default to @latest. The user can always override with --alpha / --beta / --latest.

Re-install / repair

If Plastic is already installed but something is broken (skills missing, hooks not firing, leftover legacy plugin), re-run the installer, it is idempotent, prunes files that no longer ship, and removes any legacy plugin/marketplace layout:

npx -y @zalom/plastic@<channel> install --reinstall --claude

Then run /plastic-doctor and report what it found.

Channel Flags

Flag Behavior
--latest Install from the stable channel (default on a first install)
--beta Install from the beta channel
--alpha Install from the alpha channel

When invoked from within Claude Code (re-install or channel switch), the skill runs the appropriate npx command:

# Stable (default on a first install)
npx -y @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude

# Beta
npx -y @zalom/plastic@beta install --claude

# Alpha
npx -y @zalom/plastic@alpha install --claude

The installed version and channel are recorded in ~/.plastic/VERSION.

Modes

Global Install (default, recommended)

Run /plastic-install with no arguments.

Procedure

Step 1: Run the installer

Check if ~/.plastic/VERSION exists.

  • If yes: announce "Plastic is already installed at ~/.plastic/. Run /plastic-update to sync core files, or use the re-install command above to repair in place."
  • If no: first ask the advisor question below (Claude Code only), then run the fresh install command (default @latest, or the channel the user named) with whichever flags that answer produced:

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.

plastic-install is a skill published in the GitHub repository zalom/plastic (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 2,191 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
