Just yesterday, I merged the marketplace installation mechanism into Magpie.
I am finishing some last wrinkles, but I found it far superior. Since August, marketplace installation is supported by everyone. It works great across multiple Harness instances. Suggestion: We should likely: * do similar marketplace installation in incubator repo * liink the repo skill to magpie for installation via "trusted sources" (after it will get marketplace installation - to expose skill family / docs * move over the incubator-related skills from magpie back here (and link them from Magpie). Justin - others - I am happy to PR it all if we are good. Stefan, Tison, Once we do it there will be two installation methods possible: 1) Directly from the incubator: /plugin marketplace apache/incubator /plugin install releasecheck:apache-incubator 2) Via magpie (still skills will be maintained in the incubator): /plugin marketplace apache/magpie /plugin install apache-incubator:apache-magpie The second method will include all the goodies from Magpie: * secure/isolated setup of the CLIs * magpie utilities (status, sandbox bypass / support, deterministic agents-guard preventing escaping the auto-approve sandbox) * privacy gateway * discovery via https://magpie.apache.org How does this sound?
