Abstrax

Registry submission

To list a plugin in the Abstrax plugin registry, open a pull request in the useabstrax/plugin-registry repository.

Each plugin is a single YAML file under the repository's plugins/ directory. The repository README, examples/, and schema.json describe the expected format.

How to submit

  1. Fork useabstrax/plugin-registry.
  2. Copy one of the files from examples/ as a starting point.
  3. Create plugins/<slug>.yml with your plugin metadata and version records.
  4. Verify your plugin locally: 
    abstrax-<name> plugin metadata
  5. Open a pull request against main.

Put your YAML in plugins/, not examples/. The examples/ directory is reference material only.

Required information

Your submission should include:

  • Plugin name and display name
  • Short and long description
  • Publisher details and public source repository
  • Licence and documentation URL
  • Release manifest URL
  • Supported platforms and semantic version
  • Required Abstrax version constraint
  • SHA-256 checksums for each binary
  • Security contact
  • Confirmation that plugin metadata works

Release manifest format and checksum requirements are documented in Registry API.

Review expectations

Submissions are reviewed manually. Acceptance is not guaranteed.

Registry inclusion is not a full security audit. Trust levels (official, verified, community) and status values (active, deprecated, blocked) are policy metadata, not proof that a plugin is safe. See Security.

After approval

When your pull request is merged, Abstrax imports your plugin definition into the live registry. The plugin then appears at https://plugins.useabstrax.com/plugins/<slug> and can be installed with:

sudo abstrax plugin install <name>

To publish a new version later, open another pull request that adds or updates the relevant entry under versions: in your plugin file.
