What problem does it solve?
Manually creating Codex plugin directory structures, plugin.json manifests, and marketplace entries is time-consuming and prone to formatting errors, especially when adhering to strict schema and naming conventions for Codex compatibility.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Plugin Scaffolding: Creates normalized plugin directories with a pre-filled, schema-compliant .codex-plugin/plugin.json manifest, including all required interface fields with editable placeholder values.
- Optional Companion Structure: Adds skills, hooks, scripts, assets, .mcp.json, and .app.json directories or stub files to the plugin scaffold based on user-specified flags.
- Marketplace Integration: Generates or updates .agents/plugins/marketplace.json with correctly formatted plugin entries, including default policy values and proper relative paths, for both repo-local and home-local plugin destinations.
- Use Case: A developer building a new Codex plugin for team task management can run a single command to get a fully structured plugin folder and marketplace entry, avoiding manual file creation and JSON formatting errors.
Quick Start
Use the plugin-creator skill to scaffold a new Codex plugin with all required manifest files, optional companion directories, and a marketplace entry for Codex UI integration.
