Install Agent Plugin Forge¶
In this tutorial you will install Agent Plugin Forge and confirm that your client discovered the publication skill. You will not clone the repository yourself.
Choose the client you use with your coding agent.
Visual Studio Code¶
Open the Command Palette and run Chat: Install Plugin from Source. Enter:
VS Code identifies the repository as a plugin marketplace and clones it. Review the source URL in the trust prompt and choose Trust only when it matches the repository above. If VS Code presents the marketplace's plugin list, select agent-plugin-forge.
Open the Extensions view and enter @agentPlugins if you want to inspect the result. agent-plugin-forge should show Manage, not Install.
Run Chat: Configure Skills... from the Command Palette. Search for package-agent-skill; it should appear. This is the deterministic proof that VS Code discovered the installed skill.
Codex¶
Run:
codex plugin marketplace add MiguelElGallo/agent-plugin-forge
codex plugin add agent-plugin-forge@agent-plugin-forge
Then inspect the installed state:
The installed array should include agent-plugin-forge. Codex documents plugin installation and marketplace sources in its CLI reference.
GitHub Copilot CLI¶
Run:
copilot plugin marketplace add MiguelElGallo/agent-plugin-forge
copilot plugin install agent-plugin-forge@agent-plugin-forge
copilot plugin list
The installed list should include agent-plugin-forge. Installing it does not create an operating Forge checkout; the publication skill creates a disposable checkout only when you ask it to review a skill.
If you use both Copilot CLI and VS Code, you do not need a second VS Code installation. VS Code automatically discovers plugins installed under Copilot CLI's plugin directory. Confirm package-agent-skill with Chat: Configure Skills... in VS Code.
Check the trigger¶
Open a project containing an Agent Skill and ask:
I have a skill to publish. Explain the review checkpoint before making changes.
The response should distinguish the no-external-write review phase from the approved publication phase. Do not approve publication yet.
