Dependencies

Plugins can declare other plugins they depend on using extensions["ai.agentrig"].pluginDependencies. Plugin installs resolve and install dependencies before the requested plugin.

AgentRig plugin manifests are Agent Plugins 1.0.0 conformant. AgentRig-specific fields live under extensions["ai.agentrig"].

{
  "$schema": "https://agent-plugins.org/schemas/1.0.0/plugin.schema.json",
  "name": "agentrig.core-committer",
  "extensions": {
    "ai.agentrig": {
      "pluginDependencies": ["agentrig.security-check"]
    }
  }
}

How it works

• Dependencies use canonical plugin ids or canonical install refs.
• A canonical install ref looks like <registryAlias>/<namespace.plugin>.
• Add @<version> only when you need an exact reproducibility or rollback pin.
• Dependencies inherit the same registry contract when they resolve inside a configured registry.
• Direct URLs, local files, and ZIP sources are not part of the public install contract.
• Dependencies are only installed once per install run.

Use dependencies for shared foundations like linters, security checks, or base prompts.
