Consider renaming claude-code-plugins to ai-plugins #136

Context

Bitwarden recently renamed their claude-code-plugins repo to ai-plugins, raising the question of whether we should follow suit.

Analysis: Can the Claude Code plugin format work with other AIs?

Component Claude Code Gemini CLI Codex/Copilot
Plugin manifest (plugin.json) Native No equivalent No equivalent
Skills (SKILL.md) Native Loadable via activate_skill + tool mapping No equivalent
Agents (AGENT.md) Native Different format (AGENTS.md) AGENTS.md format
Hooks Native No equivalent No equivalent
Commands Native No equivalent No equivalent

Current cross-platform precedent

  • superpowers plugin already has Gemini CLI tool mapping in references/codex-tools.md
  • JacobPEvans repos have AGENTS.md alongside CLAUDE.md
  • nix-ai/modules/common/formatters.nix generates Claude, Gemini, and Copilot configs

Verdict

The format is Claude-specific today. A rename to ai-plugins would be premature unless accompanied by actual multi-AI format support:

  • AGENTS.md generation from AGENT.md files
  • Gemini skill loading adapters
  • Cross-platform command equivalents

Track as a future consideration if the plugin format evolves toward cross-platform support.
