Skill instructions
Plugin Creator Quick Start 1. Run the scaffold script: bash Plugin names are normalized to lower-case hyphen-case and must be <= 64 chars. The generated folder and plugin.json name are always the same. Run from repo root (or replace .agents/... with the absolute path to this SKILL). By default creates in <reporoot/plugins/<plugin-name. python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/createbasicplugin.py <plugin-name 2. Open <plugin-path/.codex-plugin/plugin.json and replace [TODO: ...] placeholders. 3. Generate or update the repo marketplace entry when the plugin should appear in Codex UI ordering: bash marketplace.json always lives at <repo-root/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/createbasicplugin.py my-plugin --with-marketplace For a home-local plugin, treat <home as the root and use: bash python3 .agents/skills/plugin-creator/scripts/createbasicplugin.py my-plugin \ --path ~/plugins \ --marketplace-path ~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json \ -
