⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 24, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Asked both a bare model and the skill to write a minimal resend-request plugin: the no-skill version invented nine wrong SDK facts (@caido/sdk-backend Plugin, sdk.toast, addMenuItem with inline onClick, callBackend) that would not compile or load, while the skill produced the real caido:plugin / DefineAPI / sdk.api.register / result.response.getCode flow. A single-file reference doc with no bundled scripts, so nothing to run, but it clearly corrects a niche SDK a cold model gets wrong.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Caido Plugin Development does
A reference skill for writing plugins for Caido, the web-security auditing toolkit. It supplies the real SDK imports and call patterns (caido:plugin, DefineAPI, sdk.api.register, RequestSpec, sdk.window.showToast) for frontend, backend, and workflow plugins. Triggers when building or extending Caido plugins.
How to install Caido Plugin Development
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Caido Plugin Development skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from caido-community/caido-plugin-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Caido Plugin Development work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 24, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Asked both a bare model and the skill to write a minimal resend-request plugin: the no-skill version invented nine wrong SDK facts (@caido/sdk-backend Plugin, sdk.toast, addMenuItem with inline onClick, callBackend) that would not compile or load, while the skill produced the real caido:plugin / DefineAPI / sdk.api.register / result.response.getCode flow.

- What is the Caido Plugin Development SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Caido Plugin Development?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Caido Plugin Development with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
