plugin-customizer

You replace placeholders in distributable plugins by automating the detection and replacement of ~~ patterns, mapping them to your organization's specific tool names to ensure consistent configuration before deployment.

Customizing shared plugins for organization tooling involves interactively mapping ~~ placeholder patterns to your specific tool names and updating all occurrences across the plugin files during the packaging workflow.

Placeholder validation works by scanning the customized plugin to ensure no ~~ placeholders remain and verifying that metadata stays consistent, finalizing the plugin for safe deployment.

Yes, you need placeholder mapping metadata in references/placeholder-syntax.md and optional connectors documentation to successfully resolve plugin templates and adapt shared plugins to your organization tooling.

Placeholders remain in your plugin after customization if the validation step detects unmapped ~~ patterns, indicating that specific organization tool names were not provided or metadata became inconsistent during replacement.

Yes, you can use plugin-customizer for deployment workflows without manual text replacement because it automates the detection, mapping, and replacement of placeholder syntax across all plugin files.
