openplugin

Install AI coding agent plugins from Git repositories with a single command.

Supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, and QoderWork.

Usage

# Install plugins from a Git repository
npx -y openplugin@latest http://gitlab.alibaba-inc.com/subo.jzc/opentasks.git

# GitHub owner/repo shorthand is also supported for public GitHub repositories
npx -y openplugin@latest <owner/repo>

# Install a specific plugin
npx -y openplugin@latest <owner/repo> --plugin <name>

# Install to a specific client only
npx -y openplugin@latest <owner/repo> --claude
npx -y openplugin@latest <owner/repo> --codex
npx -y openplugin@latest <owner/repo> --qoderwork

# Skip interactive prompts (install all plugins to all detected clients)
npx -y openplugin@latest <owner/repo> --yes

# Uninstall
npx -y openplugin@latest remove <owner/repo>

How it works

1. Clones the specified Git repository
2. Discovers plugins under plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/ or a root-level .claude-plugin/
3. Lets you choose which plugins and clients to install to
4. Configures hooks, MCP servers, and plugin registration per client

Options

Option	Description
--plugin <name>	Install a specific plugin (can be used multiple times)
--claude	Install to Claude Code only
--codex	Install to Codex CLI only
--qoderwork	Install to QoderWork only
-y, --yes	Skip interactive prompts
-h, --help	Show help

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• git
• At least one supported client installed (Claude Code, Codex CLI, or QoderWork)
• Runtime commands referenced by plugin MCP configs. For example, if a plugin's .mcp.json uses "command": "uvx", install uv first so uvx is on PATH.

Plugin repository structure

Repositories must follow this structure for plugin discovery:

plugins/
  <plugin-name>/
    .claude-plugin/
      plugin.json        # name, version, description
    .mcp.json            # MCP server configuration (optional)
    hooks/               # Hook definitions (optional)

Single-plugin repositories may also put plugin files at the repository root:

.claude-plugin/
  plugin.json
.codex-plugin/       # Optional
skills/              # Optional
hooks/               # Optional

When installing http://gitlab.alibaba-inc.com/subo.jzc/opentasks.git, openplugin always installs the opentasks core plugin and then lets you choose OpenTasks companions declared by that repository in plugins/opentasks/.openplugin-companions.json.

If Langfuse is selected, openplugin installs it globally and non-interactively with the same client targets chosen in the openplugin prompt. For example, a Codex-only install runs:

npx -y skills add langfuse/skills --skill langfuse --global --yes --agent codex

Client target mapping for Langfuse skills is Claude Code -> claude-code, Codex CLI -> codex, and QoderWork -> qoder.

MCP companions are registered for the clients selected in the openplugin prompt. Command-based MCP companions can use tools such as npx -y @playwright/mcp@latest; HTTP MCP companions use the URLs declared by the downloaded repository manifest. Codex and QoderWork config files are backed up before MCP entries are merged.

Openplugin does not collect or configure Langfuse credentials. Configure these later if you want Langfuse tracing:

LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk-lf-...
LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY=sk-lf-...
LANGFUSE_BASE_URL=https://cloud.langfuse.com

The OpenTasks companion prompt is specific to OpenTasks installs; other repositories are not modified or given extra choices. Companion MCP servers and external skills come from the downloaded repository manifest rather than openplugin's source code.

When the selected plugin set includes opentasks, openplugin also ensures the opentasks CLI is available. If OPENTASKS_BIN is not set and opentasks is not found, it installs the CLI with:

uv tool install git+http://gitlab.alibaba-inc.com/subo.jzc/opentasks.git@test

After plugin installation, it asks for an OpenTasks setup mode:

• single: initialize one normal OpenTasks workspace with opentasks workspace setup --path <workspace>. This workspace stores tasks, memories, repo-index.md, and repo-map.md; source repositories can stay anywhere. It then offers a repository picker for the current git repo and nearby sibling git repos.
• boss: initialize an OpenCompany root with opentasks company setup-boss --path <opencompany-root>. This creates the Boss/ workspace and company.json.
• worker: initialize an OpenCompany worker with opentasks worker setup-machine --cwd <opencompany-root>/Workers/<aone-name>. This creates or reuses the worker workspace and configures the local machine for that worker.

For non-interactive installs, --yes keeps the previous default and uses single. You can choose OpenCompany non-interactively with environment variables:

OPENTASKS_SETUP_MODE=boss OPENTASKS_COMPANY_ROOT=/path/to/opencompany \
  npx -y openplugin@latest http://gitlab.alibaba-inc.com/subo.jzc/opentasks.git --yes

OPENTASKS_SETUP_MODE=worker OPENTASKS_COMPANY_ROOT=/path/to/opencompany \
OPENTASKS_AONE_NAME=HoneyBabyAgent \
  npx -y openplugin@latest http://gitlab.alibaba-inc.com/subo.jzc/opentasks.git --yes

You can manage repositories later with natural language in an OpenTasks-enabled agent, or with CLI commands:

opentasks repo add /path/to/repo --cwd ~/Desktop/opentasks-workspace
opentasks repo remove <repo-name> --cwd ~/Desktop/opentasks-workspace

This onboarding runs only for OpenTasks installs.

During installation, openplugin validates plugin MCP configs before copying them to clients. It checks that .mcp.json is valid, local stdio commands are available or executable, and Codex plugins declare mcpServers in .codex-plugin/plugin.json when they ship MCP servers.
