Hi! Would it be possible to add support for agents to the plugin system?

It’s not obvious to me why agents were omitted from the initial plugin system release, while skills, MCP servers, and apps are already supported.

I have several setups where skills rely on custom agents, and right now there’s no convenient way to package and share them with colleagues as a single plugin.

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to request or wait for an update to the plugin system that includes support for agents.

Guidance

  • Review the existing plugin system documentation to understand the current capabilities and limitations.
  • Consider reaching out to the development team or community to request an update or provide feedback on the importance of agent support.
  • Explore alternative methods for packaging and sharing custom agents with colleagues, such as creating a separate repository or package.

Notes

The issue lacks technical details, and without more information, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: While waiting for an update, explore alternative methods for packaging and sharing custom agents, as this may provide a temporary solution for collaborating with colleagues.
