dsh-dual-plugin-guide

Dual-format plugin development guide. This plugin teaches an agent how to
build plugins that are compatible with both ecosystems from one directory:

• DSH static plugin package — installable via dsh plugin --profile add
• Agent Plugins 1.0 — plugin.json + skills/, loadable by compatible clients (Codex, Cursor, VS Code, …)
• (bonus) Standard agent skills — npx skills add discovers the same skills/ tree

Not DSH-only: this package itself installs through both formats.

Install

# DSH — register the guidance skill into the agent catalog (pick one source)
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-dual-plugin-guide                          # npm (recommended)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Fectivnfy112357/dsh-dual-plugin-guide   # GitHub

# Agent Plugins 1.0 — point a compatible client at the npm package or the repo:
#   https://www.npmjs.com/package/dsh-dual-plugin-guide
#   https://github.com/Fectivnfy112357/dsh-dual-plugin-guide
# Standard skills
npx skills add Fectivnfy112357/dsh-dual-plugin-guide

After the DSH install and a profile restart, the dsh-dual-plugin-guide skill shows
up in the agent's skill catalog; the agent then follows it to build dual-format
plugins. The bundled skills/dsh-dual-plugin-guide/scripts/scaffold.mjs generates a
valid dual-format skeleton in one command.

How it works

lib/index.js is a minimal Cordis plugin (inject: ['skills']) that reads
skills/dsh-dual-plugin-guide/SKILL.md (Agent Skills format) and registers it with
ctx.skills via resourceBase, so relative references resolve. The same
skills/ tree is what Agent Plugins clients and npx skills read — one
content source, three loaders.
