Marketplace

The Herdr plugin marketplace is a discoverable index of installable plugins. It is not live yet. This page is how to be ready for it.

The marketplace adds discovery on top of installation; it does not replace it. Anyone can already install your plugin straight from GitHub:

Terminal window
herdr plugin install owner/repo[/subdir...]

Publish a normal public GitHub repository with a herdr-plugin.toml manifest at its root, or in a subdirectory, and that command works now. See Plugins for the manifest and authoring reference.

If you want your plugin to appear in the website marketplace when discovery launches, add the GitHub topic herdr-plugin to your repository now. That topic is the signal the future index will use for discovery, so tagging a public plugin today means it can be listed when the marketplace goes live.

A marketplace card will surface your plugin’s id, name, description, declared platforms, and a link back to the source repository. Getting that manifest metadata right today is what makes your listing accurate later. Declare platforms honestly, because the index will use it to show where a plugin runs.

Plugins stay ordinary GitHub repositories. The marketplace is a discovery layer on top of the same herdr plugin install path you can use now. A listing makes a plugin easier to find; it does not mean Herdr has reviewed it, so the trust guidance still applies.
