Why
The previous PR documented adding a
~/.gemini/config/plugins.jsonentrypointing at
dist/agyas the agy install path, mirroring Claude Code's/plugin marketplace add. Testing that against a liveagysession showedit doesn't work:
agy -p "list every skill and plugin available"reportedNo plugins are currently loaded or discoverable in the active context—only a stray skill surfaced (via agy's generic skill-directory walk, not
plugin recognition), and none of a bundled
mcp_config.json/hooks.jsonever loaded. Separately,
plugins/core-essentials/mcp.jsonhad been addedby hand directly at the repo root — never discovered by the generator,
and invalid JSON (missing the outer
{ }) besides.What
scripts/install_agy.py: symlinks each generated skill into~/.gemini/config/skills/<name>/(or a project's.agents/skills/with--project), and merges each plugin'smcpServers/hooks into theshared global
mcp_config.json/hooks.jsonwithout touching unrelatedentries already there.

GitHub/Gitea tokens through
${VAR}env-var placeholders instead ofrequiring literal secrets in the file.

Add scripts/install_agy.py, which instead pushes a generated dist/agy into the locations confirmed to actually work: symlinks each skill into ~/.gemini/config/skills/<name>/ (or a project's .agents/skills/ with --project) and merges each plugin's mcpServers/hooks into the shared global mcp_config.json/hooks.json without touching unrelated entries. Supports --uninstall to cleanly remove exactly what was added. generate_plugins.py's --install-local now shells out to it for the agy side instead of printing the broken plugins.json instructions. Also fixes plugins/core-essentials/mcp.json, which had been hand-added directly under the repo root (never discovered by the generator) with invalid JSON (missing the outer object) and no env-var indirection for its GitHub/Gitea tokens; moved under the plugin and wired up with ${VAR} placeholders instead.
