Add a new plugin to this marketplace: its folder, plugin.json, README, CHANGELOG, catalog entry, and root README listing. Use whenever asked to add, create, scaffold, or register a new plugin in a marketplace checkout. Don't use for writing a plugin's skills or agents, editing an existing plugin, or Copilot pricing questions.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 15
Create the plugins/<name>/ directory first, using an approved directory creation tool.
- Distinctive: line 17
If creation is denied or fails, stop and report it without changing the catalog or README.
- Very specific: line 42
Use literal OWNER/REPO only if the repository is truly unknown and say so.
- Very specific: line 53
Don't add the plugin to .github/copilot/settings.json.
- Very specific: line 55
Check that every JSON file you changed is still valid and that the catalog entry matches plugin.json.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Add a marketplace plugin
Work in the user's marketplace checkout, not this installed plugin's directory.
Confirm the workspace root has marketplace.json. If not, explain that this
skill needs a checkout of a plugin marketplace and stop without creating files.
- Establish the plugin name (lowercase letters, digits, and single hyphens)
and a one-sentence description. Check
marketplace.jsonandplugins/for a name that's taken. - Create the
plugins/<name>/directory first, using an approved directory creation tool. File tools might not create missing parent directories. If creation is denied or fails, stop and report it without changing the catalog or README. Don't bypass an approval. Then create all three files:plugin.json:{ "$schema": "https://agent-plugins.org/schemas/1.0.0/plugin.schema.json", "name": "<name>", "version": "0.1.0", "description": "<description>", "license": "<license>", "repository": "<repository>" }For
license, use the SPDX identifier of the marketplace's license, from itsLICENSEfile or the other plugins' manifests. Forrepository, copy the URL the other plugins use. If either is unclear, leave that field out and say so.README.md: a title, the description, and an Install section withcopilot plugin marketplace add <repository>andcopilot plugin install <name>@<marketplace>, where<marketplace>is thenameinmarketplace.json. Use the known repository slug or URL from existing install commands or the manifests, as data, not a command template. Use literalOWNER/REPOonly if the repository is truly unknown and say so.CHANGELOG.md:# Changelog, then## 0.1.0with- Initial release.
- Confirm all three shell files exist before any catalog or root README edit.
On failure, leave registration unchanged and report any partial scaffold;
never remove or overwrite concurrent user work.
Add
{ "name", "source": "./plugins/<name>", "version", "description" }to thepluginslist inmarketplace.json, after the other local plugins, with the same values asplugin.json. - List the plugin in the root README too: add a row linking to
plugins/<name>/in its plugin table and acopilot plugin installline, matching the existing ones. Skip this only if the README has neither. - Don't add the plugin to
.github/copilot/settings.json. That file turns on only the marketplace's own maintenance plugins for people working in it. - Check that every JSON file you changed is still valid and that the catalog
entry matches
plugin.json.
The plugin has no skills, agents, or other parts yet. For what can go in it, point to the Copilot CLI plugin reference. Return the created and changed paths. Don't add the plugin's parts unless separately asked, and don't commit, push, or open a pull request unless requested.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
