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 <name> add <spec>
• 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
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Fectivnfy112357/dsh-dual-plugin-guide

# Agent Plugins 1.0 — point a compatible client at the repo, or publish it
#   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.
