Factory (Droid) listing — factory-plugins

Factory's official catalog is the public repo Factory-AI/factory-plugins. Submission is a pull request that vendors the plugin under plugins/ and adds an entry to .factory-plugin/marketplace.json.

Git install from this repo works today without that PR — see the README Install section.

Git install (works now)

droid plugin install https://github.com/diffbot/diffbot-skills.git

Manifest: .factory-plugin/plugin.json (Factory does not read .claude-plugin/ as a fallback — this file is required).

Factory tracks plugin versions by Git commit on marketplace update, not semver in plugin.json. Document semver for humans; expect users on factory-plugins to pull latest marketplace commit unless the marketplace source is pinned.

Marketplace PR (submission path)

1. Fork Factory-AI/factory-plugins.
2. Copy the plugin into plugins/diffbot/:
   • plugins/diffbot/.factory-plugin/plugin.json
   • plugins/diffbot/skills/ — all five diffbot-* skill folders
3. Add the marketplace entry from marketplace-entry.json (this folder) to .factory-plugin/marketplace.json.
4. Open a PR using factory-pr.md as the description template.
5. Test locally from your fork:

   droid plugin marketplace add /path/to/your/factory-plugins-fork
   droid plugin install diffbot@factory-plugins

6. After merge, update the README marketplace row to the diffbot@factory-plugins install line.

Maintenance: Factory vendoring creates a second copy of skills/. On each diffbot-skills release, sync plugins/diffbot/skills/ in factory-plugins and open a follow-up PR. Upstream: diffbot/diffbot-skills tagged releases.

Category: research (KG querying, entity enrichment, competitive landscape). Alternatives: productivity if Factory prefers breadth.

Pinned release to sync from: v1.0.0 @ 44a20a931193596243d786ffb02959c8d75a5e8f.
