6
+ # Agent Plugins
7
+
8
+ Use `agent-plugins` when a Python package should carry the instructions and MCP
9
+ configuration that match its installed code version.
10
+
11
+ An [Agent Plugin](https://agent-plugins.org/) is an open, vendor-neutral
12
+ portable directory format for reusable agent components. Its fixed locations
13
+ let compatible clients find [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/specification)
14
+ and [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification)
15
+ server configuration in the same package. Distribution, permissions, and user
16
+ experience remain with each client.
17
+
18
+ ## Build the plugin tree
19
+
20
+ Keep one Agent Plugin tree in the codebase:
21
+
22
+ ```text
23
+ my-plugin/
24
+ ├── plugin.json
25
+ ├── skills/
26
+ │ └── use-my-package/
27
+ │ ├── SKILL.md
28
+ │ ├── scripts/
29
+ │ └── references/
30
+ ├── mcp.json
31
+ └── com.example.client/
32
+ └── hooks/
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ - `plugin.json` identifies the plugin and its Agent Plugins schema.
36
+ - `skills/` contains Agent Skills and their nested files.
37
+ - `mcp.json` describes stdio, Streamable HTTP, or legacy HTTP+SSE servers.
38
+ - Reverse-domain directories contain client-specific extension files.
39
+
40
+ Create a minimal `plugin.json` at the plugin root:
41
+
42
+ ```json
43
+ {
44
+ "$schema": "https://agent-plugins.org/schemas/1.0.0/plugin.schema.json",
45
+ "name": "my-project"
46
+ }
47
+ ```
48
+
49
+ Find the Python package's `pyproject.toml` and set
50
+ `[tool.agent-plugins].root` relative to that file. For uv_build:
51
+
52
+ ```toml
53
+ [build-system]
54
+ requires = ["agent-plugins==0.1.1", "uv_build==0.12.2"]
55
+ build-backend = "agent_plugins.build.uv_build"
56
+
57
+ [tool.agent-plugins]
58
+ root = "../.."
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ For Hatchling:
62
+
63
+ ```toml
64
+ [build-system]
65
+ requires = ["agent-plugins==0.1.1", "hatchling==1.31.0"]
66
+ build-backend = "agent_plugins.build.hatchling"
67
+
68
+ [tool.agent-plugins]
69
+ root = "../.."
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ The build selects `plugin.json`, the complete `skills/` tree, and `mcp.json`
73
+ when present. Select other root-relative files explicitly:
74
+
75
+ ```toml
76
+ [tool.agent-plugins]
77
+ root = "../.."
78
+ include = ["bin/**", "com.example.client/**"]
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ Every include pattern must stay within the plugin root and match at least one
82
+ file.
83
+
84
+ Use the build plan directly when another build system owns artifact writing:
85
+
86
+ ```python
87
+ import agent_plugins as ap
88
+
89
+ plan = ap.build_plan("packages/python")
90
+ for file in plan.files:
91
+ print(file.source, file.target)
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ `agent_plugins.build.BuildBackend` provides the wheel, source distribution, and
95
+ editable hooks used by the bundled adapters.
96
+
97
+ ## Choose build-time or runtime access
98
+
99
+ Keeping `agent-plugins` in `[build-system].requires` makes it available during
100
+ the build. Add the package to `[project].dependencies` when installed Python
101
+ code needs to locate or inspect Agent Plugins:
102
+
103
+ ```toml
104
+ [project]
105
+ dependencies = ["agent-plugins==0.1.1"]
106
+ ```
107
+
108
+ Locate a plugin with the Python package name used by pip:
109
+
110
+ ```python
111
+ import agent_plugins as ap
112
+
113
+ plugin = ap.locate("my-package")
114
+
115
+ print(plugin.path)
116
+ print(plugin.manifest.path)
117
+ print(plugin.manifest.name)
118
+
119
+ for skill in plugin.skills:
120
+ print(skill.path)
121
+ print(skill / "SKILL.md")
122
+
123
+ if mcp := plugin.mcp:
124
+ for name, server in mcp.servers.items():
125
+ print(name, server)
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+ `plugin.path` is the absolute installed plugin root. Each item in
129
+ `plugin.skills` is an `ap.Skill` rooted at one immediate directory under
130
+ `skills/`. Use `Path(skill)` or `skill.path` for that directory. Use `/` to
131
+ build native paths to its instructions, references, scripts, or assets:
132
+
133
+ ```python
134
+ skill = plugin.skills[0]
135
+
136
+ print(skill / "SKILL.md")
137
+ print(skill / "references" / "api.md")
138
+ print(skill.tree(max_depth=2))
139
+ ```
140
+
141
+ Use `skill.frontmatter` for the source text between the `---` delimiters. Use
142
+ `skill.body` for the Markdown source after the frontmatter. The first access to
143
+ either property reads and splits `SKILL.md`, then caches both strings. Path and
144
+ tree access leave the document unread so an agent can choose which files and
145
+ content to load.
146
+
147
+ `plugin.manifest` is an `ap.Manifest`. `plugin.mcp` is an `ap.MCPConfig` when
148
+ `mcp.json` exists. Each object exposes `.path` immediately. Accessing a parsed
149
+ field such as `manifest.name` or `mcp.servers` reads, validates, and caches its
150
+ document. MCP access validates the manifest first.
151
+
152
+ MCP servers are frozen `ap.StdioServer`, `ap.StreamableHTTPServer`, or
153
+ `ap.SSEServer` values in a read-only mapping. `manifest.issues` records ignored
154
+ manifest fields. `mcp.issues` records invalid server entries skipped during
155
+ loading. Document-level failures raise `ap.ValidationError` on parsed value
156
+ access.
157
+
158
+ Display the plugin to inspect its packaged tree:
159
+
160
+ ```python
161
+ print(plugin)
162
+ print(plugin.tree(max_depth=2))
163
+ print(plugin.tree(max_depth=None, max_files=None))
164
+ ```
165
+
166
+ `Path(plugin)`, `Path(skill)`, and `Path(plugin.manifest)` use the native path
167
+ protocol. When `plugin.mcp` is present, `Path(plugin.mcp)` does too.
168
+ `ap.installed()` returns each discovered plugin keyed by installed Python
169
+ package name.
170
+
171
+ ## Verify the package
172
+
173
+ Inspect the selected paths before building:
174
+
175
+ ```console
176
+ agent-plugins plan path/to/python-project
177
+ ```
178
+
179
+ Then verify the package through its installation boundaries:
180
+
181
+ 1. Build a wheel and source distribution.
182
+ 2. Build a wheel from the source distribution.
183
+ 3. Install the wheel in a clean environment.
184
+ 4. Install the Python package as editable.
185
+ 5. Call `ap.locate()` in both environments.
186
+ 6. Access `plugin.manifest.name` and `plugin.mcp.servers` when MCP exists to run
187
+ schema validation and the Agent Plugins rules.
188
+ 7. Confirm each `skill.path`, `skill / "SKILL.md"`, and `skill.files` points to
189
+ the packaged skill tree.
190
+ 8. Access `skill.frontmatter` and `skill.body` to verify the packaged
191
+ `SKILL.md` structure.
192
+
193
+ Handle `ap.AgentPluginError` when a requested Python package or usable plugin
194
+ root is absent. Handle `ap.ValidationError` when an installed plugin document
195
+ or `SKILL.md` structure is invalid.

+ # agent-plugins
21
+
22
+ `agent-plugins` packages Agent Skills, Model Context Protocol configuration, and
23
+ client extension files with a Python distribution. Each installed wheel carries
24
+ the agent files that match its code version.
25
+
26
+ The package implements the portable [Agent Plugins](https://agent-plugins.org/)
27
+ directory format and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14.
28
+
29
+ ## Ship an Agent Plugin
30
+
31
+ Keep one Agent Plugin tree beside the code it documents:
32
+
33
+ ```text
34
+ my-project/
35
+ ├── plugin.json
36
+ ├── skills/
37
+ │ └── use-my-package/
38
+ │ ├── SKILL.md
39
+ │ ├── agents/
40
+ │ ├── references/
41
+ │ └── scripts/
42
+ ├── mcp.json
43
+ └── packages/
44
+ └── python/
45
+ └── pyproject.toml
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ `skills/` contains [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/specification).
49
+ `mcp.json` contains [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification)
50
+ server configuration when the plugin provides MCP servers.
51
+
52
+ Create `plugin.json` at the plugin root:
53
+
54
+ ```json
55
+ {
56
+ "$schema": "https://agent-plugins.org/schemas/1.0.0/plugin.schema.json",
57
+ "name": "my-project"
58
+ }
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ Configure the Python package to wrap `uv_build`:
62
+
63
+ ```toml
64
+ [build-system]
65
+ requires = ["agent-plugins==0.1.1", "uv_build==0.12.2"]
66
+ build-backend = "agent_plugins.build.uv_build"
67
+
68
+ [tool.agent-plugins]
69
+ root = "../.."
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ `root` is relative to `pyproject.toml`. The build selects `plugin.json`, the
73
+ complete `skills/` tree, and `mcp.json` when present.
74
+
75
+ Build, install, and locate the packaged plugin:
76
+
77
+ ```console
78
+ uv build packages/python --out-dir dist
79
+ python -m pip install "agent-plugins==0.1.1" dist/my_package-*.whl
80
+ agent-plugins locate my-package
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ ```text
84
+ /.../site-packages/my_package-1.2.3.agent-plugin
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ The wheel contains the plugin directory and an `agent_plugins.json` marker in
88
+ the distribution metadata. A source distribution stages the same files for a
89
+ reproducible wheel rebuild. An editable install points the marker at the authored
90
+ plugin tree.
91
+
92
+ ### Use Hatchling
93
+
94
+ Keep the plugin settings and select the Hatchling adapter:
95
+
96
+ ```toml
97
+ [build-system]
98
+ requires = ["agent-plugins==0.1.1", "hatchling==1.31.0"]
99
+ build-backend = "agent_plugins.build.hatchling"
100
+
101
+ [tool.agent-plugins]
102
+ root = "../.."
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ ### Include other plugin files
106
+
107
+ Add root-relative patterns for executables or client extensions:
108
+
109
+ ```toml
110
+ [tool.agent-plugins]
111
+ root = "../.."
112
+ include = ["bin/**", "com.example.client/**"]
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ Each pattern must stay within the plugin root and match at least one file.
116
+
117
+ ## Inspect an installed plugin
118
+
119
+ Add `agent-plugins` to the runtime dependencies of Python code that calls the
120
+ inspection API:
121
+
122
+ ```toml
123
+ [project]
124
+ dependencies = ["agent-plugins==0.1.1"]
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ ```python
128
+ import agent_plugins as ap
129
+
130
+ plugin = ap.locate("my-package")
131
+
132
+ print(plugin.manifest.name)
133
+ print(plugin.manifest.path)
134
+
135
+ for skill in plugin.skills:
136
+ print(skill.path)
137
+ print(skill / "SKILL.md")
138
+
139
+ if mcp := plugin.mcp:
140
+ for name, server in mcp.servers.items():
141
+ print(name, server)
142
+ ```
143
+
144
+ `ap.locate()` accepts the distribution name used by `pip`. `ap.installed()`
145
+ returns every discovered Agent Plugin keyed by distribution name.
146
+
147
+ | Object | Access |
148
+ | --- | --- |
149
+ | `plugin.path` | Absolute plugin root |
150
+ | `plugin.manifest` | Lazy `plugin.json` document |
151
+ | `plugin.skills` | `ap.Skill` objects rooted under `skills/` |
152
+ | `plugin.mcp` | Lazy `mcp.json` document, when present |
153
+ | `plugin.files` | Files selected by the package build |
154
+ | `plugin.tree()` | Bounded ASCII tree of the installed plugin |
155
+ | `skill.frontmatter` | Source text between the `---` delimiters |
156
+ | `skill.body` | Markdown after the frontmatter |
157
+ | `skill.files` | Files selected below the skill root |
158
+
159
+ Manifest, MCP, and skill documents load on first parsed-field access and cache
160
+ their result. Call `ap.locate()` again to read a fresh snapshot. Invalid
161
+ documents raise `ap.ValidationError`.
162
+
163
+ MCP servers are frozen `ap.StdioServer`, `ap.StreamableHTTPServer`, or
164
+ `ap.SSEServer` values. Their fields preserve placeholders such as
165
+ `${PLUGIN_ROOT}` for the agent client to resolve.
166
+
167
+ ## Inspect a build plan
168
+
169
+ Preview the files selected by `[tool.agent-plugins]` before building:
170
+
171
+ ```console
172
+ agent-plugins plan packages/python
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ Use `--json` for machine-readable output. Python build integrations can consume
176
+ the same plan:
177
+
178
+ ```python
179
+ import agent_plugins as ap
180
+
181
+ plan = ap.build_plan("packages/python")
182
+ for file in plan.files:
183
+ print(file.source, "->", file.target)
184
+ ```
185
+
186
+ List every plugin visible in the current environment:
187
+
188
+ ```console
189
+ agent-plugins list --json
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ ## Develop and release
193
+
194
+ From a repository checkout, install the locked development environment and run
195
+ the local checks:
196
+
197
+ ```console
198
+ uv sync --locked
199
+ uv run ruff format --check src tests
200
+ uv run ruff check src tests
201
+ uv run ty check
202
+ uv run pyrefly check
203
+ uv run pytest -q
204
+ ./scripts/build-dist.sh
205
+ ```
206
+
207
+ Prepare the version and lockfile in a release pull request:
208
+
209
+ ```console
210
+ uv version --bump patch
211
+ ```
212
+
213
+ After the release commit reaches `main` and its push CI passes, update the local
214
+ branch and start the tag-driven release:
215
+
216
+ ```console
217
+ git pull --ff-only origin main
218
+ ./scripts/release.sh --dry-run
219
+ ./scripts/release.sh
220
+ ```
221
+
222
+ Before the first tag, configure PyPI to trust `.github/workflows/publish.yml`
223
+ through the repository's `pypi` environment. PyPI documents the setup in
224
+ [Adding a Trusted Publisher](https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/adding-a-publisher/).
