plugin-creator

@openai Updated 2026-09-08

Create and scaffold plugin directories for Codex with a required `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, optional plugin folders/files, and baseline placeholders you can edit before publishing or testing. Use when Codex needs to create a new local plugin, add optional plugin structure, or generate or update repo-root `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` entries for plugin ordering and availability metadata.

Creates or updates /.agents/plugins/marketplace.json when --with-marketplace is set. If the marketplace file does not exist yet, seed top-level name plus interface.displayName placeholders before adding the first plugin entry.
