Two review passes on PR #91 (correctness + simplification) found the
prior fixup commit (d6fd9b6) left the deprecation notice it added
half-applied, cited a nonexistent ADR, and introduced/compounded a
few duplicate restatements of the same facts across apm-workflow's
skill files and apm-orchestrate's Hard rules.
- plugin-author/SKILL.md cited ADR-0016 (doesn't exist) instead of
ADR-0006 for the version-parity invariant.
- The deprecation banner on plugin-author/marketplace-author wasn't
reflected in their routing `description:` frontmatter, forge's
routing table, either kyberforge README skill table, or CONTEXT.md
— now propagated consistently; routing behavior is unchanged since
issue #90 (repo-wide apm conversion) hasn't landed yet.
- apm-orchestrate's `configure` operation only covered scaffolding a
new package, not editing an existing apm.yml (e.g. removing a
marketplace.packages[] entry, which has no dedicated `apm` CLI verb
and is just a manifest edit). Added `edit-config`, intentionally
ungated — a local file edit isn't the same class of irreversible
action as `apm publish`, and normal review already gates the commit.
- Deduplicated facts restated 3-4x across SKILL.md/references/ADR
boundaries (audit semantics, reserved name prefixes, marketplace-add
direction, registries precondition), and trimmed configure.md's
~55-line apm.yml schema dump — copied near-verbatim from the
research doc — down to a compact key list with a pointer, matching
install.md's existing terse cross-referencing style.
Deliberately left as-is: apm-orchestrate's parallel/sequential
fan-out logic stays inline rather than extracted to a shared
reference, since neither git-orchestrate nor gitea-orchestrate need
it yet — premature extraction for a single caller.

plugin-author
Creates, updates, and releases plugin scaffolds for the holocron marketplace.
What it does
Manages both manifests (plugin.json for Copilot CLI and .claude-plugin/plugin.json for Claude Code) in one pass. Three operations: create a new plugin scaffold with placeholder manifests and skeleton dirs; update configuration fields (shared fields updated in both manifests simultaneously); release a version with HITL gate before tagging.
Out of scope: plugin content (skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers inside those dirs) and marketplace.json entries.
Before you start
Have ready: the plugin name (kebab-case) and the repo root path.
Usage
/plugin-author
Manual scaffold (human workflow):
bash scripts/new-plugin.sh <plugin-name> <repo-root>
# Examples:
bash scripts/new-plugin.sh my-tools /root/ai-development
bash scripts/new-plugin.sh data-tools .
