This release makes join-the-team conform to the Agent Plugins 1.0.0 specification, with skills conforming to Agent Skills — and, unlike a README badge, proves it with a CI gate and a live install into every supported client.

Scope of adherence

Validated against the published schemas:

  • https://agent-plugins.org/schemas/1.0.0/plugin.schema.json
  • https://agent-plugins.org/schemas/1.0.0/mcp.schema.json
Surface What the standard requires What ships
Root manifest plugin.json with $schema + name, closed schema Present; only the ten permitted keys
Fixed skill location skills/ discoverable Real directory, 21 skills — survives installers that drop symlinks
Skill format Agent Skills frontmatter Name pattern, 64-char cap, dirname match, non-empty description ≤1024 chars — all gated
Client extensions Reverse-domain namespaces com.anthropic.claude-code, com.google.gemini-cli, ai.moonshot.kimi; every declared path resolved on disk
mcp.json Optional; closed transport union None shipped — the bundled config is a template, not live servers
Path safety No escape from plugin root Enforced on the .agents/skills alias

Verify it yourself:

make spec-conformance

Standard-library Python, runs offline, reports as its own CI job, backed by 22 negative fixtures — because a validator that only ever passes is decoration.

Proven on four clients

Every client was installed from a clean install of this tree:

Client Version Skills at fixed location Session-start hook
Claude Code 0.2.1 21 (+3 commands) registered
Antigravity (agy) 0.2.1 21 (+3 commands) hooks: 1 processed
Codex 0.2.1 21 native discovery
Kimi Code 0.2.1 21 — confirmed in a live session sessionStart

Fixed since 0.2.0

0.2.0 was merged to main but never tagged. 0.2.1 supersedes it and fixes two defects that only live installs could surface:

  1. A regression the conformance work itself caused. Adding a root plugin.json switches agy into Agent Plugins mode, where it reads hooks.json at the package root only — silently disabling Antigravity's session-start hook, which worked in 0.1.7. Both manifests now ship, kept byte-identical by the validator.
  2. A conformant client could install and find zero skills. skills/ was a symlink, and Codex's install cache drops symlinks. The layout is inverted: skills/ is now the real directory, .agents/skills/ the alias. Existing .agents/skills/... references keep working.

Upgrade notes

  • Existing .agents/skills/... paths still resolve — nothing adopter-facing breaks.
  • A codex plugin add install contains no .agents/skills/ alias (Codex flattens symlinks); all 21 skills are at skills/.
  • Restart your client after updating.
