What problem does it solve? Creating a Codex plugin by hand requires getting the .codex-plugin/plugin.json manifest schema, marketplace entry policies, and naming rules exactly right, and mistakes cause ingestion or validation failures. This Skill automates scaffolding, marketplace registration, and validation so plugins conform to the expected contract from the start. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plugin Scaffolding: Generates a normalized plugin directory with a valid plugin.json, optional skills/, hooks/, scripts/, assets/ folders, and .mcp.json or .app.json companion files. - Marketplace Management: Creates or updates personal or repo/team marketplace.json entries with correct policy, category, and source path fields. - Validation and Update Flow: Validates generated plugins against the ingestion schema and rewrites version cachebusters for the local reinstall loop during development. - Use Case: Ask Codex to create a new personal plugin named "my-tools"; the Skill scaffolds the folder, seeds the personal marketplace entry, validates the manifest, and returns View and Share deeplinks for the Codex app. ## Quick Start Ask Codex to create a new plugin named my-plugin in the personal marketplace and validate it before handing it back.
