Frequently Asked Questions about plugin-creator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Codex plugin scaffold with a manifest?▼

To scaffold a Codex plugin, the generator creates a plugin root directory and populates a placeholder .codex-plugin/plugin.json manifest with default values for immediate editing.

What is the character limit for a Codex plugin name?▼

Codex plugin names must be 64 characters or fewer. The scaffolding process validates this limit and normalizes the provided name to kebab-case to ensure ecosystem consistency.

How do I add a new plugin to an existing Codex marketplace.json?▼

The generator updates or creates a marketplace.json entry pointing to ./plugins/<plugin-name> with default policies, preserving your existing marketplace structure without overwriting current data.

What directories are included when scaffolding a Codex plugin?▼

Scaffolding a Codex plugin optionally generates directories for skills, hooks, scripts, and assets, alongside stub files for .mcp.json and .app.json configurations.

Can I force overwrite an existing Codex plugin scaffold?▼

Yes, the generator supports an optional force overwrite mode to replace existing plugin directories and files during scaffolding, while defaulting to preservation to prevent accidental data loss.
