Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By openai/plugins (GitHub) · coding · 7,836 stars · scanned at commit d420d13

Create and scaffold plugin directories for Codex with a required `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, optional plugin folders/files, and baseline placeholders you can edit before publishing or testing. Use when Codex needs to create a new personal plugin, add optional plugin structure, or generate or update personal or repo-root `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` entries for plugin ordering and availability metadata.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'plugin-creator' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'plugin-creator' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named plugin-creator already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/openai/plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd420d13051bffe4543ed39e30fa46b87148e47dd' -- '.agents/skills/plugin-creator' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/plugin-creator' ~/.agents/skills/'plugin-creator' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'plugin-creator' ~/.claude/skills/'plugin-creator' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
