It keeps the Agent Plugins v1 root contract and also includes native manifests for: - Codex CLI and desktop (plugins are not currently loaded by the Codex IDE extension). The user must review and trust the bundled hooks. - Claude Code and Claude Cowork. Cowork can use the file/skill/hook surfaces; its external connectors require a public remote endpoint, so this local stdio MCP bridge is not claimed in Cowork. - GitHub Copilot CLI through its Open Plugin Spec support. A person installs the reviewed local package with copilot plugin install./packages/dex-agent-plugin, confirms it in copilot plugin list, and starts the CLI from the Dex folder. Skills and MCP are native; hooks are not claimed. That terminal journey has not been recorded yet. Ubuntu Cloud is not a person opening this CLI.
