The shiny Plugin

Everything ships as one plugin — shiny. Install it once and every Shiny skill becomes available; the agent loads only the skill relevant to what you're building, so there is no cost to having them all installed.

# Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add shinyorg/skills
claude plugin install shiny@shiny

# GitHub Copilot CLI
copilot plugin marketplace add https://github.com/shinyorg/skills
copilot plugin install shiny@shiny

Key Files

• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and .github/plugin/marketplace.json — Marketplace manifests for Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI, each declaring the single shiny plugin. Copilot CLI accepts either location; both are included for explicit discoverability.
• plugins/shiny/.claude-plugin/plugin.json (Claude Code) and plugins/shiny/plugin.json (GitHub Copilot CLI) — The plugin manifests containing name, version, description, keywords, and the relative path to the skills directory. Claude Code requires the manifest under .claude-plugin/; Copilot CLI requires it at the plugin root. Keep the two files identical.
• SKILL.md — The skill itself: YAML front matter with portable Agent Skills metadata (name, description, auto_invoke, triggers, and optional when_to_use), followed by usage guidance, code generation instructions, and best practices. Keep triggers and auto_invoke: true in front matter for GitHub Copilot CLI discovery, and keep the prose sections for Claude-friendly guidance. Supporting docs should live in the skill's reference/ directory so both Claude and Copilot load them consistently.

Adding a Skill

Skills are synced in from their owning library repo by a sync-skills.yml GitHub Action — do not hand-edit SKILL.md here. Each source repo keeps its skills under skills/<skill-name>/ and its workflow copies them to plugins/shiny/skills/<skill-name>/ in this repo via a pull request. To add a new skill, add it to the source repo and let the workflow open the PR, then add a row to the tables above.
