Publish Plugin to GitHub

Use this workflow when the active project contains a copied plugin folder and the user wants it published as a new public GitHub repository.

Workflow

  1. Read the active plugin inputs. plugin_context_path is the copied plugin folder relative to the project working directory.
  2. Inspect open-design.json, SKILL.md, and any compatibility metadata in the copied folder.
  3. Call the local daemon endpoint instead of hand-rolling GitHub commands: curl -sS -X POST "$OD_DAEMON_URL/api/projects/$OD_PROJECT_ID/plugins/publish-github" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"path":"<plugin_context_path>"}'
  4. Read the JSON response. If ok is true, report the final repository URL and any useful log/validation summary.
  5. If the endpoint fails, report its message, code, and useful log lines. When authentication is missing, tell the user to run gh auth login --hostname github.com.

Prefer the manifest name as the repository slug. If that repository already exists, choose the next clear slug and mention the rename.
