Add the integrator plugin by reference

[RNViththagan]

Purpose

The Ballerina agent skills live in ballerina-platform/skills and are not listed in this marketplace, so there is nothing here for someone looking for WSO2 Integrator support.

Goals

List them here without a second copy of the plugin: ballerina-platform/skills stays the single source of truth, while this marketplace owns how the listing is named and described.

Approach

• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — new integrator entry with a url source pointing at https://github.com/ballerina-platform/skills.git. The plugin sits at that repo's root, so no git-subdir + path is needed. Pinned to ref: main because upstream cuts no tags yet.
• Claude Code cannot read a referenced plugin.json before install, so the entry carries its own displayName and description — those are all a user sees in the listing.
• .github/scripts/validate-skills.js — the validator assumed every source was a relative path and died with TypeError: entry.source.startsWith is not a function on an object source. It now skips entries whose plugin lives in another repo. Deliberately the minimum (+5/−1); tightening the rest of the source validation is a follow-up PR.
• README.md / DEVELOPMENT.md — listing row, install command, restart note, and a section documenting the referenced-plugin form.

No Codex entry: ballerina-platform/skills ships no .codex-plugin/plugin.json, so there would be nothing for codex plugin add to install.

Why url and not the github shorthand

Worth knowing for any future referenced entry. {"source": "github", "repo": "owner/name"} clones over SSH with no HTTPS fallback, so installing failed outright on a machine with no GitHub SSH key:

Failed to clone repository: git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

marketplace add does fall back to HTTPS; plugin sources do not. An explicit https:// clone URL works for everyone. DEVELOPMENT.md now warns about this.

Verification

Installed from a fork branch over the network, not just validated locally:

claude plugin marketplace add <fork>@reference-integrator-plugin
claude plugin install integrator@wso2-agent-skills

• claude plugin validate . — passes
• node .github/scripts/validate-skills.js — passes (pre-existing warning: api-design/SKILL.md is 539 lines)
• bash .github/scripts/check-script-syntax.sh — passes
• Confirmed the validator fails with the TypeError above before the change and passes after it
• Install succeeds and every referenced component arrives — skill, library agent, 2 hooks, the ballerina-library MCP server (1.1 MB prebuilt bundle), and the LSP server:

WSO2 Integrator (ballerina) 0.4.3
  Skills (1)  ballerina      Agents (1)  library
  Hooks (2)   PreToolUse, PostToolUse
  MCP servers (1)  ballerina-library
  LSP servers (1)  ballerina

• Functional, not just loaded: a live MCP call returned real Central data (ballerina/http 2.17.1, http:Client), and the skill wrote a Ballerina HTTP package that bal build compiled clean.

Points for review

1. Skill namespace. The entry name governs the listing and the install id only. At runtime the plugin uses its own manifest name, so components surface as ballerina:ballerina, ballerina:library, mcp__plugin_ballerina_ballerina-library__get_library. Users install integrator but invoke /ballerina. Changing that would mean renaming the plugin in ballerina-platform/skills, which would break their own ballerina@ballerina-skills listing — so it is left as is. Flagging it in case you would rather the entry were named ballerina for consistency.
2. Framing. Is integrator / "WSO2 Integrator" the right listing? The plugin is Ballerina-only — MI is not covered by it.
3. ref: main floats. This marketplace would ship whatever upstream merges, with no review gate here. Happy to pin a sha instead, or hold until upstream starts tagging releases.
4. Double install. Upstream also publishes this same plugin as ballerina@ballerina-skills. A user with both marketplaces registered installs the LSP, hooks, and MCP server twice.

Release note

Adds the integrator plugin — WSO2 Integrator skills for writing, running, and testing Ballerina integrations, referenced from ballerina-platform/skills.

📝 Summary

Summary

• Adds the integrator marketplace entry, sourced from ballerina-platform/skills on the main branch.
• Updates validation to support plugins hosted in external repositories.
• Documents marketplace listing, installation, restart requirements, and external plugin configuration.
• Explains the absence of a Codex entry and the current upstream branch reference.

Walkthrough

The marketplace adds the externally maintained integrator plugin from the Ballerina Platform skills repository. Validation now accepts object-based external sources, skips local directory checks, and excludes referenced plugins from local manifest errors. Developer documentation describes external plugin references and source pinning. The README documents installation through the skills CLI and Claude Code.

Suggested reviewers: sachinisam

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 040a2

Malformed external plugin entries can pass validation and later fail during marketplace installation. The source-object validation should be fixed before merge.
