What it adds

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.

  1. marketplace.json always lives at /.agents/plugins/marketplace.json.
  2. For a home-local plugin, use the same convention with as the root:
  3. Marketplace root metadata supports top-level name plus optional interface.displayName.
  4. Treat plugin order in plugins[] as render order in Codex. Append new entries unless a user explicitly asks to reorder the list.
  5. displayName belongs inside the marketplace interface object, not individual plugins[] entries.
