Purpose

Maintain the marketplace catalog by:

• Adding new plugin entries

• A new plugin is created and needs to be registered
• An existing plugin's components change (agents, commands, skills added/removed)
• Plugin metadata needs updating (version, description, keywords, etc.)
• A plugin is being removed from the marketplace
• Validating marketplace.json structure
