Continuous scanner CI not detected

This plugin remains listed. Its overall trust score is reduced by 10% because security checks are not maintained in the source repository's CI.

Optional: maintain the scanner in the source repository's CI to receive the full trust score. Listing does not require that change.

README badge not detected

Plugin owners can add the HOL badge to the repository README from Guard Plugins. Distribution, not security evidence. It adds a 2% engagement adjustment to the overall trust score and never changes the security result.

Install guidance

Install in Claude Code

Install through the Claude Code plugin marketplace.

Claude Code plugin docs

Optional: install HOL Guard for Claude Code first, so it can check this plugin's tools on your machine before Claude Code uses them.

  1. 1

    Add the marketplace

    Run this inside a Claude Code session. It registers the marketplace manifest shipped at the repository root. If the repository ships none, add the generated entry from the Advanced section below first.

    claude code
  2. 2

    Find the marketplace and plugin names

    The install id is <plugin-entry>@<marketplace-name>, and the marketplace name is declared inside the manifest — it can differ from the repository name. List registered marketplaces to read both names.

    shell
  3. 3

    Install the plugin

    Substitute the plugin entry name and the marketplace name shown by the previous step.

Did setup work in Claude Code?

No setup reports for Claude Code yet. Self-reported by signed-in visitors. Copying a command is not counted, and most installs are never reported.

Attested installs: Fewer than 10 attested installs of this plugin in week 2026-W43, so no number is shown. Counted from opt-in HOL Guard install reports, once per machine and runtime, and never mixed with the answers above. How install reports work.

skills-cli
  • iki-character-loop

    skills/iki-character-loop/SKILL.md

    Drive a generator/critic loop that refines a rigged Iki character (`.iki`) until it matches a reference illustration. Draws a reference with the iki-create-image skill, then alternates the iki-character-artist agent (draws, composes, tunes, rigs) with the iki-character-critic agent (scores a rubric, emits typed findings) until the critic says ship and the user has nothing to add, or a cap is hit. The iki-character-appeal-critic judges the renders for appeal without the reference each round. Use when a generated character is renderable but not good-looking enough, or when the user asks to iterate a character toward a target look.

  • iki-character

    skills/iki-character/SKILL.md

    Generate a renderable, auto-rigged Iki character (`.iki`) from one gesture — draw a front reference, then role-separated transparent part PNGs against it with the iki-create-image skill (eyeless, noseless face base, nose, sclera, iris, a keyed open mouth and its interior (or a closed + open mouth pair for a style that cannot fold), lash, brow, front and back hair, torso, an optional cheek blush, and for an optional full body a body from the neck to the shoes and one arm, drawn against a full-body reference), compose them into canvas-aligned role layers with the `compose_layers_from_parts` MCP tool, then `auto_rig_from_layers` to emit a rigged `.iki` that blinks, gazes, lip-syncs, turns, nods and tilts its head with swaying hair, and emotes with its brows — drawn full body, also raises and bends its arms and turns its body, and with a pose forearm waves — and that declares head motions (Nod, Shake, Tilt) and, with a pose forearm, a Wave, and up to six default expressions (smile, laugh, angry, sad, surprised, shy; shy needs the blush), each with a description a host picks by. Use whenever the user asks to "make/generate/create an Iki character" from scratch (no existing art).

  • iki-create-image

    skills/iki-create-image/SKILL.md

    Draw the images an Iki character is built from — the front reference, the role-separated part PNGs drawn against it, the 30° turned reference, and for a full-body character the full-body reference drawn from the front one and the waving reference drawn from that — with the Codex CLI's image tool on a model the plugin pins, or hand the user the prompts to run in another image tool when Codex is not set up. Used by the iki-character and iki-character-loop skills; not for general image requests.
