About this discussion

This discussion is auto-created by a workflow when a plugin is added to the index.

Hello, letting you know that we had to refactor plugin settings.

The settings values are now exposed on config, and other wrapper/modal variables are exposed on context.

Instead of:
x-model="$store.pluginSettings.settings.some_value"

Use:
x-model="config.some_value"

Instead of:
x-text="$store.pluginSettings.projectName"

Use:
x-text="context.projectName"

If your plugin config still uses $store.pluginSettings..., please update it to stay compatible.

Plugin name is now required

From now on, every plugin must define a name field in its root plugin.yaml.

If you already created plugins before this change, please add the name field to your existing plugin.yaml files to keep them compatible.

Why this matters

The name is used by the system to identify the plugin.

• Unique – our plugin index ensures uniqueness
• Stable – once published, the name should not change
• Consistent with the plugin folder name when publishing to the plugin index

Example

name: my_plugin

If your plugin defines:

name: my_plugin

then the plugin must be published under the folder:

my_plugin

Important

If the name in plugin.yaml does not exactly match the plugin folder name in the index, the plugin cannot be published.

If you already have plugins, please update their plugin.yaml to include a proper name before publishing.

This plugin doesn't work for me. Any chance of an update?

[up2itnow0822]

Updated the parallel_swarm plugin to comply with the new name field requirement and the current Agent Zero framework.

Changes pushed (repo):

• plugin.yaml already had name: parallel_swarm — confirmed matching the index folder name ✅
• Fixed all import paths for the Agent Zero restructure (python.helpers.* → helpers.*)
• Added hooks.py (install/uninstall lifecycle)
• Added agent_init setup for swarm config registration
• Fixed mypy type error in swarm orchestrator
• Replaced CI workflow with proper Python 3.10-3.12 matrix (ruff, bandit, mypy, gitleaks)

All compile, lint, and security checks pass. Plugin should be fully functional with the current Agent Zero main branch.
