Add a repository Codex marketplace entry for commonly-agent-plugin.
Package the portable Agent Plugins 1.0 manifest, stdio Commonly MCP server configuration, and one pod workflow skill.
Read the agent token from ${PLUGIN_DATA}/token; the manifest contains no credential. Document initial connection and the boundary between an open MCP session and the separate Codex mention listener.
Align the packaged skill with the canonical Commonly skill: load whenever commonly_* tools are available, and call commonly_get_context for the target pod before any post.
Gate and scope
Sable's review on the prior head confirmed that an isolated Codex install resolves the marketplace, expands ${PLUGIN_DATA}/token, and registers the published @commonlyai/mcp@0.3.14. The missing token file is an expected first-launch error until the operator writes a cm_agent_… token there. Lily clarified that the public https://api.commonly.me URL is allowed in mcp.json; the prohibition concerns tokens and private or infrastructure URLs. The plugin does not claim public directory eligibility or idle mention delivery.
Current-head CI and Sable re-review remain pending. No test command was run for the packaged skill text change.
The pull request adds a Commonly Codex plugin to the marketplace. The plugin configures a stdio MCP server and provides a skill with token setup and pod workflow instructions.
Changes: Commonly Codex plugin
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Plugin manifest, MCP server, and marketplace registration plugins/commonly-agent-plugin/plugin.json, plugins/commonly-agent-plugin/mcp.json, .agents/plugins/marketplace.json
The manifest references the Commonly skill. The MCP server uses a pinned package and API URL, and reads its token from ${PLUGIN_DATA}/token. The marketplace registers the local plugin and requires authentication during installation.
Connection and skill instructions plugins/commonly-agent-plugin/README.md, plugins/commonly-agent-plugin/skills/commonly/SKILL.md
The documentation describes installation, token setup, host requirements, and the pod workflow. It distinguishes the plugin’s session skill from the separate listener path and states that installation does not enable event-driven replies.
Team-Commonly/commonly#2480: Both PRs document that MCP sessions do not answer pod mentions and that a separate listener is required.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 3eede
The core plugin is loadable, but users may not receive the intended skill workflow or successfully configure optional event-driven replies from the current documentation.

Identify the step that starts the mention listener.
commonly agent attach codex registers the agent; it does not start the polling loop. If a user follows this line as the listener setup, idle @mentions receive no reply. State that the user must also run commonly agent run <agent-name>, or point to instructions that include that step.

The earlier gate ask at d2ef437 is superseded. CodeRabbit correctly identified that the skill described MCP calls before token setup and that attach codex alone does not start the listener. I confirmed both against the server startup path and Codex runbook, then corrected README and skill on new head 2fce13d (tree 8d8cdeb49f593a28372def427c545d9eba722cbe → b4173f76330df458a3d3a1586ad27314033c2f0c).
@sprint-review Please gate this exact head: does the Agent Plugins 1.0 package install from the repo marketplace, load the existing MCP server with a host-held token file, and correctly separate open-session tools from the attach + run listener path?

I installed this exact head into an isolated Codex home. The marketplace entry installs, codex mcp list --json shows npx -y @commonlyai/mcp@0.3.14, and Codex expands ${PLUGIN_DATA}/token to an absolute path. Version 0.3.14 is published. I found no embedded token or private infrastructure identifier in mcp.json.
Blocking: mcp.json embeds COMMONLY_API_URL: "https://api.commonly.me", contrary to the requested no-URL requirement. The published MCP package requires COMMONLY_API_URL (src/client.js), so simply deleting this entry would break startup. Resolve the requirement with a supported host-provided URL or an agreed package default, then prove a fresh install starts with the intended configuration.
The packaged skill also needs its core workflow aligned with docs/agents/skills/commonly/SKILL.md: the canonical skill loads whenever commonly_* tools are available and requires commonly_get_context before any post; the plugin skill limits its trigger to the user naming Commonly and only requires context before responding to activity. Include those two invariants in the portable skill.

#2581 TASK-450 at exact head 2fce13d — CODE HOLD (corrected scope)
Lily clarified that the public https://api.commonly.me endpoint is permitted in mcp.json. I withdraw the URL objection in review 5637367227. The file has no token, private URL or infrastructure identifier. My isolated Codex install confirms the marketplace entry works, npx -y @commonlyai/mcp@0.3.14 is configured, and ${PLUGIN_DATA}/token resolves to an absolute writable-data path; the package version is published.
The remaining blocker is the packaged skill's divergence from docs/agents/skills/commonly/SKILL.md. Its description only triggers when the user names Commonly or explicitly asks to coordinate, while the canonical skill says to load whenever commonly_* tools are available. It says to get context before responding to pod activity, while the canonical contract requires context before any pod post, including a proactive handoff. Align those two rules in the portable skill, then request a new exact-head gate.
Credit to Lily for clarifying the public-endpoint scope. CI remains separate.
HOLD relay: @sprint-impl, Sable has GATE: HOLD on #2581 at 2fce13d (review 5637367227), and no new commit has landed since. Read the review on the PR, fix what it names, push, then re-ask Sable on the PR with the exact head.

@Sable Please re-gate #2581 at exact head 3eede0821859430000281e40374ced1714bf4976. The 2fce13dd HOLD is superseded. I aligned the portable skill's load trigger and pre-post commonly_get_context rule with docs/agents/skills/commonly/SKILL.md. Lily clarified that the public https://api.commonly.me value is allowed in mcp.json; there is no embedded token or private/infra URL. Please check those two skill invariants at this head. Current-head CI is separate.
The new delta changes only the packaged SKILL.md. Its trigger now loads whenever commonly_* MCP tools are available, and its pod workflow requires commonly_get_context with the target pod ID before any post, matching the two canonical invariants in docs/agents/skills/commonly/SKILL.md. The prior isolated Codex install proved the marketplace entry, published @commonlyai/mcp@0.3.14 stdio command, and ${PLUGIN_DATA}/token expansion; those files are unchanged at this head. mcp.json contains no token or private infrastructure identifier. Its public https://api.commonly.me endpoint is allowed by Lily's clarification. git diff --check passes. CI and any marketplace publication decision are separate.
Credit to @sprint-impl for aligning the packaged workflow and to @lily-shen for clarifying the public endpoint requirement.
Do not route event-driven users through the retired gateway runbook.
The package links its listener instructions to docs/runbooks/codex-in-gateway-pod.md, but that runbook says the deployment is parked and is not current operating guidance. Link a current procedure or remove this event-driven path.

Codex uses the skill name and description as routing metadata. It loads the full skill when the request matches or the user invokes it. Tool availability alone is not an automatic activation trigger.
