Agentic Plugin Marketplace is a collection of reusable plugins, agents, skills, commands, and rules for coding-agent tools including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, and GitHub Copilot. It is for developers assembling agentic workflows across multiple harnesses from shared Markdown sources, and the catalogue entries are examples or subsets of those workflow components.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.00714 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00357 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00143 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
workflow-orchestration-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Workflow Orchestration Patterns
Master workflow orchestration architecture with Temporal, covering fundamental design decisions, resilience patterns, and best practices for building reliable distributed systems.
When to Use Workflow Orchestration
Ideal Use Cases (Source: docs.temporal.io)
- Multi-step processes spanning machines/services/databases
- Distributed transactions requiring all-or-nothing semantics
- Long-running workflows (hours to years) with automatic state persistence
- Failure recovery that must resume from last successful step
- Business processes: bookings, orders, campaigns, approvals
- Entity lifecycle management: inventory tracking, account management, cart workflows
- Infrastructure automation: CI/CD pipelines, provisioning, deployments
- Human-in-the-loop systems requiring timeouts and escalations
When NOT to Use
- Simple CRUD operations (use direct API calls)
- Pure data processing pipelines (use Airflow, batch processing)
- Stateless request/response (use standard APIs)
- Real-time streaming (use Kafka, event processors)
Detailed patterns and worked examples
Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.
Best Practices
Workflow Design
- Keep workflows focused - Single responsibility per workflow
- Small workflows - Use child workflows for scalability
- Clear boundaries - Workflow orchestrates, activities execute
- Test locally - Use time-skipping test environment
Activity Design
- Idempotent operations - Safe to retry
- Short-lived - Seconds to minutes, not hours
- Timeout configuration - Always set timeouts
- Heartbeat for long tasks - Report progress
- Error handling - Distinguish retryable vs non-retryable
Common Pitfalls
Workflow Violations:
- Using
datetime.now()instead ofworkflow.now() - Threading or async operations in workflow code
- Calling external APIs directly from workflow
- Non-deterministic logic in workflows
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

workflow-orchestration-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository wshobson/agents (39,448 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 714 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.

foundry-hosted-agent-validation
Step-by-step process for validating a Python Foundry hosted agent sample (under python/samples/04-hosting/foundry-hosted-agents/) end to end — running it locally (native runtime and azd ai agent run) and after deploying it to an Azure AI Foundry project with azd. Use this when asked to validate a hosted agent sample.
python-feature-lifecycle
Guidance for package and feature lifecycle in the Agent Framework Python codebase, including stage meanings, feature-stage decorators, feature enums, and how to move APIs from one stage to the next.
python-development
Coding standards, conventions, and patterns for developing Python code in the Agent Framework repository. Use this when writing or modifying Python source files in the python/ directory.
artifact-deploy
One-click deploy a user's pre-built app/artifact into their OWN AWS account and get a global public HTTPS link (Vercel-like), with a default TTL and promote-to-persistent. Use when the user says "deploy this", "ship this demo", "give me a public link", "share this externally", or "deploy to AWS".
ios-simulator
Verify and debug native, React Native, Expo, or Flutter apps on an iOS Simulator with agent-device. Use when an agent needs to launch an app, inspect its live UI, tap, type, scroll, validate a code change, collect failure evidence, or reproduce a workflow on an iPhone or iPad Simulator.
session-summaries
What the chat right-panel session summary shows, what it costs, and how to make a session summarize well. Load when the user asks about the session summary panel, why a summary looks wrong or empty, or how to turn it on.
