What it does

Discover Plugins is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Discover and recommend ruflo plugins based on your workflow, installed MCP tools, and current task

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/discover-plugins”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-info, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-featured, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-official, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-featured, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-trending, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-info, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__guidance_discover, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__guidance_recommend, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__guidance_capabilities, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__mcp_status, Bash, Read

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check installed — run ls plugins/ to see what's already installed
  2. Browse marketplace — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflotransfer_plugin-featured for recommended plugins
  3. Search by need — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflotransfer_plugin-search with keywords matching your task
  4. Get recommendations — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloguidance_recommend with your current task description for personalized suggestions
  5. Check capabilities — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloguidance_capabilities to see what each plugin enables
  6. Show details — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflotransfer_plugin-info for full plugin details

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de590e1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-search
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-info
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-featured
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-official
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-search
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-featured
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-trending
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-info
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__guidance_discover
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__guidance_recommend

    …and 4 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Discover Plugins loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 706 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Can I use Discover Plugins in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill discover-plugins -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/discover-plugins, .gemini/skills/discover-plugins, .github/skills/discover-plugins and .opencode/skills/discover-plugins in your project.

What does Discover Plugins need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Discover Plugins is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-info, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-featured, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-official, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-featured, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-trending, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_store-info, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__guidance_discover, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__guidance_recommend, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__guidance_capabilities, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__mcp_status, Bash, Read.

Does Discover Plugins access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Discover Plugins safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Discover Plugins use?

Discover Plugins is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Discover Plugins use?

About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Discover Plugins?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Discover Plugins: Chatgpt Apps (Haohao-end/openagent, 807 stars), Workflow Schema Tuning (breaking-brake/cc-wf-studio, 5.4k stars), Documentation Server (andrea9293/mcp-documentation-server, 343 stars) and Clawmem (yoloshii/ClawMem, 210 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
