Community Agent/Skill Discovery

Find and install community agents and skills for project stacks not covered by built-in agents. This agent is spawned by /plan when a stack gap is detected.

Input

The spawning command provides:

• detected_stacks: list of stacks detected in the project (e.g., ["flutter", "rust"])
• uncovered_stacks: subset of detected_stacks with no matching stack: frontmatter in any agent file

Only act on uncovered_stacks. If empty, report "No stack gaps detected" and return.

Step 1: Query Registries

Query all three registries in parallel for each uncovered stack. Use curl with a 5-second timeout. Run all queries in a single terminal command.

For each uncovered stack, replace <stack-name> below with the actual stack name (e.g., flutter, rust):

curl -s --max-time 5 "https://api.claude-plugins.dev/api/skills/search?q=<stack-name>&limit=10" 2>/dev/null || echo '{"error":"timeout"}'
curl -s --max-time 5 "https://www.claudepluginhub.com/api/plugins?q=<stack-name>" 2>/dev/null || echo '{"error":"timeout"}'
curl -s --max-time 5 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json" 2>/dev/null || echo '{"error":"timeout"}'

Error Handling

• Timeout or connection error: Treat that registry as returning zero results. Continue with others.
• HTTP 401/403: Treat as permanent failure (registry added auth). Log warning: "Registry X now requires authentication, skipping."
• Malformed JSON: Treat as zero results. Log warning: "Registry X returned invalid JSON, skipping."
• All registries fail: Report "All registries unreachable. Continuing with local agents only." and return.

Step 2: Parse and Filter Results

api.claude-plugins.dev Response Format

JSON with results array. Each result has: name, namespace, description, gitUrl, author, stars, verified, keywords, category.

claudepluginhub.com Response Format

JSON with plugins array. Each plugin has: name, slug, description, repositoryUrl, starCount, installCount, currentVersion (with agentCount, skillCount).

Anthropic marketplace.json Format

JSON with plugins array. Each plugin has: name, gitUrl, description, tags.

Trust Filtering

Apply the trust model to filter results:

| Tier | Criteria | Action | |------|----------|--------| | 1: Anthropic | Source is anthropics/skills or anthropics/claude-plugins-official | Always surface | | 2: Verified | Registry field verified: true OR stars >= 10 (api.claude-plugins.dev) OR starCount >= 10 (claudepluginhub.com) | Always surface | | 3: Community | None of the above | Discard (never suggest) |

Deduplication

After filtering, deduplicate across registries using name + author/namespace as the key. If the same artifact appears in multiple registries, keep the version from the highest-trust source.

Relevance Check

Only keep results whose name, description, or keywords/tags contain the stack name (case-insensitive). This prevents generic results from polluting suggestions.

Step 3: Present Suggestions

Present up to 5 suggestions to the user. For each suggestion, show:

• Name and source (registry + author/namespace)
• Trust tier indicator (Anthropic / Verified)
• Description (first 200 characters)
• Type: agent or skill (based on registry metadata if available, default to agent)

Ask the user which artifacts they would like to install:

Which community artifacts would you like to install?

1. flutter-review (anthropics/skills, Anthropic) - Flutter-specific code review patterns for Dart and Widget trees
2. flutter-testing (verified-publisher, Verified) - Testing utilities for Flutter widget tests
3. Skip all - Continue without installing any community artifacts

Reply with the numbers of the artifacts to install (e.g., "1, 2") or "skip" to continue without installing.

If zero suggestions remain after filtering, report "No trusted community artifacts found for [stack]. Continuing with local agents." and return.

Step 4: Install Approved Artifacts

For each approved artifact:

4a. Fetch the artifact content

If the artifact has a gitUrl or repositoryUrl, attempt to fetch the agent/skill markdown:

curl -s --max-time 5 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/main/agents/<name>.md" 2>/dev/null
curl -s --max-time 5 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/main/SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null

If the content cannot be fetched, skip that artifact with a warning: "Could not fetch content for [name]. Skipping."

4b. Validate the content

Before installing, validate:

1. YAML frontmatter parses successfully -- content must start with --- and contain valid YAML
2. Required fields present -- name and description must exist in frontmatter
3. Size check -- content must be under 100KB
4. No path traversal -- no ../ in any frontmatter field values
5. No executable code blocks -- warn (but don't block) if content contains ``bash or`sh blocks with destructive commands (rm -rf, curl | bash`, etc.)

If validation fails, skip with a message: "Artifact [name] failed validation: [reason]. Skipping."

4c. Add provenance frontmatter

Replace the artifact's original frontmatter with provenance-tracked frontmatter:

name: <original-name>
description: <original-description>
model: inherit
stack: <detected-stack>
source: "<owner>/<repo>"
registry: "<registry-domain>"
installed: "<YYYY-MM-DD>"
verified: <true|false>

Preserve the artifact body (everything after the frontmatter closing ---).

4d. Write to disk

• Agents: Write to plugins/soleur/agents/community/<name>.md
• Skills: Create directory plugins/soleur/skills/community-<name>/ and write SKILL.md inside it

Verify the file was created successfully.

Step 5: Report Results

After processing all approved artifacts, report:

Discovery complete:
- Installed: N artifacts (list names)
- Skipped: M artifacts (list names with reasons)
- Registries queried: X/3 successful

Installed agents will be available in subsequent commands.

Return to the calling command.

Important Notes

• Never auto-install without user approval
• Never suggest Tier 3 (unverified community) artifacts
• Treat all network failures as non-fatal -- discovery must never block planning
• Installed artifacts work offline after installation (they are local markdown files)
• To remove a community artifact: delete the file. No other cleanup needed.
