FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a Codex plugin with a manifest and component folders?▼

To scaffold a Codex plugin, run the generator script to create a standardized directory structure with a .codex-plugin/plugin.json manifest and optional skills, hooks, scripts, and assets folders.

What is the correct format for Codex plugin names?▼

Codex plugin names must be normalized to kebab-case and pass length validation. The scaffolder automatically converts input names to this format and rejects names that fail validation.

Can I generate a marketplace entry for my plugin at a custom path?▼

Yes, the scaffolder can generate a ready-to-edit marketplace entry at a configurable marketplace path within your repository, using safe placeholder defaults.

What does the generated plugin.json manifest contain?▼

The plugin.json manifest contains placeholder values with safe defaults, providing a standardized starting point for your Codex plugin configuration that you can edit after generation.

Does the Codex plugin scaffolder work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, the plugin scaffolder operates without external dependencies, using scripts to create repository-local plugin structures directly in your target directory.

What is the difference between plugin scaffolding and creating a marketplace entry?▼

Plugin scaffolding generates the local directory structure and plugin.json manifest, while a marketplace entry is an optional generated file at a configurable path that registers the plugin for marketplace integration.
