SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Creating Codex plugins requires boilerplate files and marketplace wiring, which slows down development and introduces inconsistencies. The Plugin Creator Skill automates scaffold generation by producing a standardized plugin manifest at .codex-plugin/plugin.json, optional component folders, and marketplace entries when requested.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates the repo-local or home-local plugin skeleton including the required manifest and optional directories (skills/, hooks/, scripts/, assets/) with placeholder configuration files (.mcp.json, .app.json).
  • Creates or updates <cwd>/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json with a local path reference ./plugins/<plugin-name>, preserving existing marketplace interface.displayName when updating.
  • Normalizes plugin names to kebab-case, enforces a 64-character limit, and provides placeholder values ready for human customization.

Quick Start

Run the plugin-creator script to scaffold a new plugin and optionally update the marketplace, then edit the generated placeholders in plugin.json.
