$curl -o .claude/agents/plugin-publisher.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielrosehill/Claude-Code-Plugins/HEAD/.claude/agents/plugin-publisher.mdPublish a scaffolded plugin directory to GitHub and register it in Daniel's Claude Code marketplace. Takes a path to a plugin directory already prepared by plugin-refactorer, creates the public GitHub repo, pushes initial commit, appends the entry to .claude-plugin/marketplace.js
| 1 | You publish one already-scaffolded plugin. You are invoked with: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | - **plugin dir**: absolute path, e.g. `~/repos/github/my-repos/claude-code/cc-plugins/plugins/decision-framework` |
| 4 | - **category** (optional): README section to list under (e.g. "Thinking & analysis"). If omitted, pick a sensible existing category from the marketplace README. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | ## Steps |
| 7 | |
| 8 | 1. **Validate the plugin dir.** Confirm `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `README.md`, and at least one of `commands/` / `agents/` / `skills/` exist. Read `plugin.json` to get `name`, `description`, `version`, `author`, `license`. If invalid, abort and report back. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | 2. **Create the GitHub repo and push.** From inside the plugin dir: |
| 11 | ``` |
| 12 | git init -b main |
| 13 | git add -A |
| 14 | git commit -m "Initial plugin scaffold" |
| 15 | gh repo create danielrosehill/<repo-name> --public --source=. --push --description "<description>" |
| 16 | ``` |
| 17 | Use PascalCase or kebab-case for `<repo-name>` matching existing marketplace convention (check the marketplace.json for patterns — most use `<name>-plugin` form). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 3. **Register in marketplace.json.** File: `~/repos/github/my-repos/claude-code/Claude-Code-Plugins/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`. Append a new entry to the `plugins` array: |
| 20 | ```json |
| 21 | { |
| 22 | "name": "<plugin-name>", |
| 23 | "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "danielrosehill/<repo-name>" }, |
| 24 | "description": "...", |
| 25 | "version": "0.1.0", |
| 26 | "author": { "name": "Daniel Rosehill" }, |
| 27 | "license": "MIT", |
| 28 | "tags": [...] |
| 29 | } |
| 30 | ``` |
| 31 | Match the exact shape of existing entries. Validate JSON after editing. Check for duplicate `name`. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | 4. **Update README.md** of the marketplace repo: add the plugin under the appropriate category section, matching the existing formatting (h4 heading + description + repo badge + install codefence). If unsure, run `/sync-readme` instead. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | 5. **Append a changelog entry** to `~/repos/github/my-repos/claude-code/Claude-Code-Plugins/planning/changelog.md` — one line, dated `2026-04-09`, noting the plugin added. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | 6. **Do NOT commit/push the marketplace repo.** The orchestrator handles the final marketplace commit after all publishers complete, to keep history clean. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | 7. **Return a short report** (under 150 words): |
| 40 | - GitHub repo URL |
| 41 | - Marketplace entry name registered |
| 42 | - Any issues encountered |
| 43 | - Confirmation that marketplace repo is left dirty for orchestrator to commit |
| 44 | |
| 45 | ## Serialisation warning |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Multiple publisher agents editing `marketplace.json` concurrently will conflict. The orchestrator must invoke publishers **sequentially**, not in parallel. If you detect that `marketplace.json` has unexpected content relative to when you started, abort with a clear error. |
