Given a task description, searches internal and external open-source ecosystems (including Codex marketplace and Claude Code marketplace) to find and recommend suitable plugins with installation guidance. Recommendation is quality-validation based (marketplace-listed + performance-validated), not source-origin based. Activates on "recommend a plugin", "what tool should I use?", "is there a plugin for this?", "recommend a tool". Also checks for duplicate installations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

> **Note:** In external user install environments, the internal GHE org inventory and sister asset clusters are organization-specific examples from the original developer's environment. Adapt the core of this skill (multi-layer search + synergy evaluation + install support) to your own environment (see `## External User Environment Adaptation Path` §).

# plugin-recommender

Takes a task description as input, searches internal GHE, Claude Code marketplace, Codex marketplace, and external open-source ecosystems, then outputs a ranked list of suitable plugins and install commands. Ranking is quality-validation based — not source-origin based. Also reports duplicate installs and potential conflicts.

## Activation Triggers

Activates on the following types of phrasing.

1. **Direct recommendation request**: "Recommend a plugin", "What plugin should I use?", "Find a useful tool"
2. **Task-based implicit request**: "I want to handle Jira tickets", "I need to visualize DB data", "I want to auto-generate API docs"
3. **Environment setup questions**: "How do I integrate with Confluence?", "Set up plugins needed for a new project"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/plugin-recommender@sha256:977d529a0f5d6718

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.dbffbe6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
