Coding CLI release plugins
Literate AI 1.1 packages the canonical onboarding and agent skills for Codex and Claude. The plugin is a distribution of framework instructions; the matching Literate AI wheel supplies the commands. Cursor and OpenCode generation adapters remain available, but their plugin distribution formats are not yet qualified.
Release checking runs make release-artifacts. It builds the wheel once, runs
the installed-wheel smoke against those bytes, then generates deterministic
literate_ai-VERSION-codex-plugin.zip and
literate_ai-VERSION-claude-plugin.zip archives. Each contains a provider manifest,
a discoverable skills/literate-ai/SKILL.md, canonical supporting instructions,
and bundle.json with source revision and catalog content identities. The release
file manifest binds the exact wheel and archive digests into prepared evidence.
Publication uploads those retained files and verifies downloaded provider bytes.
Extract the selected archive into a dedicated directory; its root is literate-ai.
Install the matching wheel before using its commands. For a temporary Claude
session, claude --plugin-dir /absolute/path/literate-ai loads that directory.
Codex uses .codex-plugin/plugin.json; register the extracted directory through
your explicit local/team marketplace workflow. Consult the installed client's
plugin help for installation scope. See the
Claude plugin reference.
The archives contain no automatic hooks, credentials, MCP registration, or user configuration writes. They do not install a marketplace or change permissions. Upgrade by selecting the same release version of wheel and plugin and starting a fresh coding session. Remove the plugin through the client's plugin manager and remove only its extracted directory; keep the project and its authored files.
Packaging validation proves manifest shape, inventory and byte identity. Fresh provider-session discovery and a generated Component remain distinct release acceptance checks; packaging alone does not prove model behavior.
