Create a Vibe Plugin

A plugin is a directory containing a plugin.json manifest (Agent Plugins 1.0 schema) plus optional component directories and config files. Vibe discovers plugins under .vibe/plugins/ (project scope, requires trusted folder) and ~/.vibe/plugins/ (user global).

Plugin discovery locations

Each subdirectory under a plugins root is one plugin package. The first match wins: project plugins take precedence over user plugins with the same name.

Plugin directory structure

my-plugin/
  plugin.json                 # required — Agent Plugins 1.0 manifest
  mcp.json                    # optional — MCP server definitions
  libraries.json              # optional — Node/Python library dependencies
  connectors.json             # optional — managed connector requirements
  skills/                     # optional — one subdirectory per skill
    my-skill/
      SKILL.md
  ai.mistral.vibe/            # optional — Vibe-specific extensions
    hooks.toml                # Vibe extension only
    knowledge/                # one subdirectory per knowledge folder
      topic-name/
        KNOWLEDGE.md
    agents/                   # one .toml per subagent
      researcher.toml
    INSTRUCTIONS.md           # optional plugin-wide instructions (not loaded)

Step 1 — plugin.json (required)

The manifest is a JSON file with $schema and name as required fields.
