Universal AI Plugin Marketplace Template
Author AI assistant plugins once and distribute them to all major platforms at the
highest fidelity each one accepts.
This repository is based on
mike-north/ai-plugin-marketplace-template.
Supported Platforms
Quick Start
Create a new plugin
pnpm run scaffold my-plugin
Validate all plugins
pnpm run validate
Build standalone exports
pnpm run build:standalone
This generates standalone directories in dist/ for platforms that require
repo-root manifests (Gemini CLI and Kiro). Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex read
plugins directly from plugins/<name>/ via their marketplace registries.
Publishing Strategy
This repository is intended to remain the single source of truth. Do not use git
submodules for generated platform packages unless a specific downstream registry
requires a separate repository that cannot read from this one. Author plugins in
plugins/<name>/, then generate platform-specific outputs with
pnpm run build:standalone.
The practical distribution paths are:
- Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex: publish this repository as the marketplace
repository. These platforms can read plugin packages from
plugins/<name>/
through their root marketplace manifests.
- Gemini CLI and Kiro: use the generated exports in
dist/gemini/<name>/
and dist/kiro/<name>/. These platforms expect root-level manifests for a
standalone extension or power, so CI packages those directories as release
artifacts. If a marketplace later requires a GitHub repository with the
manifest at the repository root, prefer publishing a release artifact or a
dedicated release branch over duplicating source by hand.
- Skills CLI / skills.sh: point users at this repository and the specific
skill name. The CLI discovers
SKILL.md files from the repo.
Release package artifacts are produced by .github/workflows/release.yml on
v* tags or manual workflow dispatch. The packages are:
software-factory-plugin-source.* — source plugin package for
Claude/Cursor/Codex-style installs.software-factory-gemini-extension.* — standalone Gemini CLI extension.software-factory-kiro-power.* — standalone Kiro power.
