Plugin Replicator

Overview

This skill manages the synchronization of plugin source code between the central repository and other projects, ensuring tools are consistent across all workspaces.

Execution Protocol

Do not immediately generate bash commands. Instead, operate as an interactive assistant using the following human-in-the-loop phases:

Phase 1: Guided Discovery Interview

When the user invokes this skill without specific arguments, begin by asking scoping questions:

1. Plugin Target: "Which plugin do you want to replicate, or do you want to bulk sync all of them?"
2. Destination Path: "What is the absolute path to the target project repository?" (Suggest their current working directory as a smart default unless specified otherwise).
3. Replication Mode: "Do you want to perform a stable Copy (for independent deployment) or a dynamic Link (for central development)?"

Phase 2: Recap-Before-Execute

Once variables are gathered, explicitly state what you are about to do and ask for confirmation. Use this format:

### Proposed Replication Task
- **Plugin(s)**: [Name or ALL]
- **Target Project**: `[Path]`
- **Mode**: [Copy / Link]

> Does this look correct? I will generate the exact replication commands once you confirm.

Phase 3: Command Generation

Wait for the user's explicit confirmation (yes, looks good, ok). Once confirmed, generate the exact bash command according to their choices:

For Single Plugins

# Copy mode (Default — for stable deployment)
python3 plugins/plugin-manager/scripts/plugin_replicator.py --plugin <plugin-name> --target <project-root>

# Link mode (Dev — changes reflect instantly)
python3 plugins/plugin-manager/scripts/plugin_replicator.py --plugin <plugin-name> --target <project-root> --link

For Bulk Replication

# Sync all plugins
python3 plugins/plugin-manager/scripts/bulk_replicator.py --target <project-root>

# Sync only specific plugins (glob filter)
python3 plugins/plugin-manager/scripts/bulk_replicator.py --target <project-root> --filter "<pattern>"

When to use

• New Project Setup: Populate a new project with the standard plugin toolkit.
• Updates: Pull the latest fixes from agent-plugins-skills into a consumer project.
• Development: Link plugins to work on them centrally while testing in another project context.
