cao-agent-plugin-lifecycle — a CAO Agent Plugin
Skills for the Agent Plugins 1.0.0 package lifecycle: author a new package from an empty directory (the plugin.json manifest, skills/ and an optional mcp.json), and audit an existing one against the vendored schemas and the Agent Skills limits that CAO's own validator does not check. The audit skill bundles a validator that needs no CAO install and opens no network connection itself; its first run needs its dependencies available.
Generated by scripts/build_agent_plugin.py from the canonical skills in
skills/. Do not edit by hand — make check-agent-plugin fails on drift.
Install
Installing an agent plugin runs untrusted code and content from its source. This package comes from the CAO repository itself, but the same statement applies to every plugin you install from anywhere.
From a clone:
cao plugin add ./agent-plugin/cao-agent-plugin-lifecycle
From GitHub, without cloning:
cao plugin add https://github.com/awslabs/cli-agent-orchestrator --subdir agent-plugin/cao-agent-plugin-lifecycle
Any Agent-Plugins-compatible client can install this directory the same way.
Contents
Version 2.5.3, synced from CAO's package metadata.
