Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/claude-plugins-official at 921c90ff92.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with and extend the functionality of Anthropic's Claude plugins through custom hooks. It allows developers to define, implement, and manage plugin integrations that enhance or modify the behavior of Claude-based systems.

When to use it

  • When you need to customize Claude’s behavior for specific workflows or applications.
  • To add new features or capabilities to Claude by integrating third-party tools or APIs.
  • When developing plugins that require deep integration with Claude's internal processes.

Key capabilities

  • Plugin hook registration and management
  • Custom logic execution during Claude interactions
  • Integration with external systems via API hooks
  • Event-driven plugin architecture support

Example prompts

  • "Set up a hook to log all user inputs before processing them."
  • "Integrate a payment gateway API as a custom plugin for Claude."
  • "Create a hook that modifies Claude's response based on user sentiment analysis."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have access to the Claude plugin development kit and proper API credentials.
  • Hooks may require advanced knowledge of Python and Anthropic’s plugin framework.
