Plugin Descriptor Format

{
  "id": "@dsh-plugin/dsh-auxiliary",        // Unique plugin id (npm package name or github:owner/repo)
  "name": "DSH Auxiliary",                  // Display name
  "description": [                          // Localized descriptions (optional; or a plain string)
    { "language": "en-US", "content": "..." },
    { "language": "zh-CN", "content": "..." }
  ],
  "support_versions": ">=0.1.0-rc.6",       // Supported dsh versions (semver range or array)
  "urls": {                                 // Project links (optional)
    "homepage": "https://github.com/dsh-plugins/dsh-auxiliary",
    "repository": "https://github.com/dsh-plugins/dsh-auxiliary",
    "issues": "https://github.com/dsh-plugins/dsh-auxiliary/issues"
  },
  "relationship": [                         // Dependency / conflict relations (optional)
    { "type": "dependency", "id": "@dsh-plugin/dsh-loader", "versions": ">=1.3.0" },
    { "type": "incompatibility", "id": "@dsh-plugin/dsh-auxiliary", "versions": "*" }
  ]
}

Field Reference

• id — Required. Unique plugin identifier: an npm package name (@scope/name) or github:owner/repo.
• name — Required. Human-readable plugin name.
• description — Optional. A plain string or a localized array of {language, content} objects.
• support_versions — Optional. A semver range string (>=0.1.0-rc.6), an interval ([0.1.0-rc.6, 0.1.1)), or an array of versions (["0.1.0-rc.6","0.1.0-rc.7"]). Omitted means any version.
• urls — Optional. {homepage, repository, issues} links.
• relationship — Optional. {type, id, versions}[] where type ∈ dependency | incompatibility, and versions is a semver range with * meaning any version.

Version Number Rules

Version values in support_versions and relationship[].versions follow the id kind:

• npm package ids (@scope/name) — use npm version numbers (e.g. >=1.3.0, ^0.14.0).
• GitHub ids (github:owner/repo) — use a git tag (v1.3.0) or a commit hash (short or long, e.g. dac813a).

Workflow

1. Add or update a plugin JSON under plugins/ and push to main;
2. aggregate.yml auto-aggregates plugins.json and commits it back;
3. It notifies dsh-plugins/dsh-plugins.github.io via repository_dispatch (event type plugins-updated);
4. The site repo's sync-plugins.yml fetches plugins.json, writes it to public/api/plugins.json, and pushes, triggering its Pages deploy.

Notifying the site repo requires PLUGIN_MARKET_PAT (a Personal Access Token with contents: write on dsh-plugins.github.io), configured under Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions in this repository.

To create one: GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Fine-grained tokens → Generate new token → select only the dsh-plugins/dsh-plugins.github.io repository, set Repository permissions → Contents: Read and write → generate and copy → in this repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret, name it PLUGIN_MARKET_PAT and save.

With PLUGIN_MARKET_PAT configured, the site repo syncs and deploys automatically right after each push to plugins/.
