What it does

Composer Plugins is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. Use when working on files in packages/plugins/, adding new plugins, refactoring plugin components/containers, writing storybooks for plugins, or wiring capabilities like react-surface or operation-resolver. For the UI/design-system details of plugin components (layout, theming, forms, toolbars, lists, storybook), pair this with the composer-ui skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 13k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `MEMORY.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design, Theming and dark mode and GraphQL. It works with Storybook, React and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on files in packages/plugins/
  • Adding new plugins
  • Refactoring plugin components/containers
  • Writing storybooks for plugins

Example prompts

  • “/composer-plugins”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. list_plugins({ id: 'space' }) → the exact plugin id, when you only have a loose name.
  2. find_symbol({ query: 'SpaceOperation' }) → @dxos/plugin-space#SpaceOperation.
  3. get_symbol({ ref: '@dxos/plugin-space#SpaceOperation', include: ['source'] }) → every

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f0fc12a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Composer Plugins loads about 13k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,162 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~13k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 5,162 words (~12,958 tokens).

“Exemplar: packages/plugins/plugin-chess. Read its source files to understand every pattern below.”
