What problem does it solve? Creating a Codex plugin by hand requires getting the .codex-plugin/plugin.json manifest schema, naming rules, and marketplace entry policies exactly right, and mistakes cause ingestion or validation failures. This Skill scaffolds valid plugin directories and marketplace entries with correct defaults so plugins pass validation on the first attempt. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plugin Scaffolding: Generates a normalized plugin folder with a validation-ready plugin.json, plus optional skills/, hooks/, scripts/, assets/, .mcp.json, and .app.json companions. - Marketplace Management: Creates or updates personal or repo/team marketplace.json files with correct policy, category, and source path entries. - Update & Validation Flow: Rewrites plugin versions with a Codex cachebuster suffix for reinstall during local development, and validates manifests against the ingestion contract. - Use Case: Ask Codex to create a new personal plugin named "My Tools"; the Skill normalizes the name to my-tools, scaffolds the plugin under ~/plugins, adds a personal marketplace entry, and validates the result before handing it back. ## Quick Start Ask Codex to create a new personal plugin named my-plugin with a marketplace entry and validate it before handing it back.
