Agent guidance for the deterministic git-slop repository token-defragmenter.

Git Slop Agent Plugin

This portable Agent Plugin is the guidance surface for the git-slop product CLI. Its root plugin.json follows the Agent Plugins 1.0.0 specification, its skills are portable, and Codex-specific UI metadata is isolated under extensions.com.openai.

Portable Contract

The package follows the standard discovery layout:

plugins/git-slop/
├── plugin.json
├── .codex-plugin/plugin.json
├── skills/*/SKILL.md
├── skills/*/agents/openai.yaml
├── skills/*/assets/git-slop.svg
└── assets/git-slop.svg

Agent Plugins clients discover the immediate child skill directories from the root without a manifest-level skills field. This plugin has no MCP server and therefore does not publish mcp.json. The root plugin.json is authoritative. Its package version stays exactly aligned with the public git-slop crate and release version; cargo xtask validate-codex rejects version drift. Portable skill matching and workflow behavior live in SKILL.md. The optional agents/openai.yaml files add OpenAI UI labels, starter prompts, the shared Git Slop icon, and an explicit allow_implicit_invocation: true policy so each well-bounded skill works without an explicit $skill mention. Other Agent Skills clients can ignore them.

Compatible Clients

The package targets the five clients in the Agent Plugins compatibility matrix. All five load the same portable root manifest and immediate skills/*/SKILL.md directories; no client-specific copy of a skill is needed.

Exact installation and acceptance checks differ by client. Use the tested client recipes; do not infer one client's marketplace commands from another client's discovery support.

ClientPortable surfaceClient-specific presentation
ChatGPT & Codexplugin.json and skills/*/SKILL.mdextensions.com.openai, each skill's optional agents/openai.yaml, and the temporary metadata-only Codex overlay
VS Codeplugin.json and skills/*/SKILL.mdNone; VS Code currently ignores Agent Plugins client-extension data and directories
Cursorplugin.json and skills/*/SKILL.mdNone; conformant Agent Plugins load without a Cursor-specific manifest
GitHub Copilotplugin.json and skills/*/SKILL.mdNone; the canonical $schema opts the package into Agent Plugins 1.0 semantics
Kiroplugin.json and skills/*/SKILL.mdNone; Kiro consumes the portable Agent Skills component

Agent Plugins 1.0 and the Agent Skills specification do not define a portable plugin- or skill-icon field. The package therefore carries the same 64x64 Git Slop SVG at the plugin root and in every skill, while only the documented OpenAI interface metadata points to it today. OpenAI presentation surfaces use #6f42c1, the purple behind Git Slop's GitHub Actions Marketplace icon, and the SVG inherits its foreground color so each client can keep the glyph legible. Do not add guessed agents/vscode.yaml, agents/cursor.yaml, agents/github.yaml, or agents/kiro.yaml files. Add a new client overlay only when that client publishes a namespaced extension or per-skill presentation schema; the portable behavior must remain in SKILL.md.

The metadata-only .codex-plugin/plugin.json is a temporary Codex 0.146.x compatibility overlay. Released Codex 0.146.0 and 0.146.1 load the portable skills but do not expose all portable or extensions.com.openai metadata from the root manifest through plugin/read. The overlay exactly mirrors that metadata and declares no skills, MCP servers, apps, or hooks. Remove it only after a shipped Codex release resolves the root manifest completely and the clean-room app-server proof passes without it.

Codex marketplace commands are a client capability, not a property established by this repository. Before using the recipe below, confirm the installed Codex build exposes both codex plugin marketplace --help and codex plugin add --help. In a build that exposes those commands, install through the repo's stable local marketplace name:

codex plugin marketplace add coreycoto/git-slop --ref <release>
codex plugin add git-slop@git-slop-marketplace

Pin <release> to an immutable published tag. Do not infer command availability from this documentation, a standalone CLI version number, or plugin discovery in another client. When available, the marketplace is Codex's distribution layer; the installed package itself remains an Agent Plugins 1.0.0 package.

Generic project and product-development guidance is distributed separately in the public coreycoto/agent-plugins repository. This plugin remains focused on Git Slop product usage, and does not bundle a generic workflow catalog or GitHub API implementation.

It covers:

  • installing and updating the native Rust CLI
  • running report, health, explain, plan, and check commands
  • reviewing .slop/latest/ artifacts and optionally planning one bounded slice
  • preserving .slop/ generated-state boundaries
  • adopting git-slop locally and through its GitHub Action

It intentionally does not own generic backlog, release, project, or governance workflows. When a reviewed git-slop plan should become backlog work, use the public project-management guidance and, for live GitHub state or reviewed mutations, the separately distributed gh-steward extension and plugin.

The public git-slop runtime is a native executable. find always writes schema-5 JSON plus detailed summary.md and CI-oriented health.md; YAML is written only when output.yaml: true. Stable costs drive the existing check gate; overlays and health rollups remain additive evidence.

For the stable distribution contract, the published crates.io package is the canonical source identity. The Homebrew Formula installs that exact crate, with bottles serving only as faster transport. The public Action and external Scoop bucket install checksummed GitHub Release archives verifiably bound to the same crate and source revision; Scoop publishes only after trusted x64 and ARM64 qualification. Describe availability only for distribution surfaces that have been published and verified. Verify a published binary with git-slop build-info --format json.

Product guidance should treat .slop/latest/, .slop/runs/, .slop/cache/, .slop/advice/, Git-private first-run state, prompt packs, SARIF exports, plan JSON, and compare JSON as generated artifacts unless a repository intentionally curates them as fixtures outside .slop/. A first scan does not require adoption; run init only when durable configuration and state are intended. The GitHub Action uploads only an allowlisted subset, with health.md as its default artifact. Its job summary also includes experimental, advisory surface dimensions that are not combined into a score and do not affect policy status. The portable Agent Plugin layout can be installed by clients that support Agent Plugins or Agent Skills, including Codex, VS Code/Copilot, Cursor, and Kiro. Point the client at plugins/git-slop, keep plugin.json authoritative, and follow that client's local plugin installation flow. The .codex-plugin/plugin.json file is only a metadata compatibility mirror.
