Building a Claude Code plugin with zero npm dependencies
A developer has created a Claude Code plugin called seo-survival-kit that generates SEO outreach PDFs by integrating data from multiple APIs and rendering it using headless Chrome. To enhance security, the plugin was built without any npm dependencies, minimizing the potential for supply-chain attacks. This was achieved by utilizing raw Node.js modules and directly invoking Chrome via command-line flags instead of relying on libraries like Puppeteer. The developer also implemented robust security measures, including strict path validation and Content Security Policy, to prevent malicious code execution. AI
