Playdrop Plugin

Use the public Playdrop plugin and its specialist skills with Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor.

Updated April 8, 2026

Playdrop Plugin

The public playdrop plugin is the preferred way to bring Playdrop into an AI coding workflow.

It replaces the old single-skill model with one plugin that contains many specialist skills. That gives better routing, smaller context per task, and stronger results across Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor.

Canonical public source: playdrop-plugin.

Legacy compatibility surface: playdrop-skills and the legacy skill page.

Why the plugin is preferred

  • one public plugin with many focused creator workflows
  • better auto-routing through task-routing when the right workflow is not obvious
  • better support for Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor
  • shared references and assets without collapsing everything into one umbrella skill

Specialist skills inside the plugin

  • planning and scope: task-routing, game-planning, scope-control, gameplay-mockups
  • building and iteration: asset-discovery, project-updates, dev-testing, game-improvement, gameplay-review
  • publishing and growth: store-listing, comment-monitoring, game-marketing
  • platform integration and support: service-integration, engine-porting, creator-support

If you are not sure which one to use, start with task-routing and let the plugin route the work.

Install the Playdrop plugin using your AI tool's plugin install flow, then pair it with the CLI:

bash example

npm install -g @playdrop/playdrop-cli
playdrop auth login
playdrop auth whoami
playdrop documentation browse

After that, move into the right creator workflow:

bash example

playdrop project init .
playdrop project create app my-first-app --template playdrop/template/typescript_template
playdrop project dev my-first-app
playdrop project validate .

Legacy compatibility

The old umbrella playdrop skill is still supported for legacy skill-first environments and skills.sh installs, but it is no longer the preferred public setup.

Use the legacy skill only when your environment cannot install the plugin yet:

bash example

npx skills add https://github.com/playdrop-ai/playdrop-skills --skill playdrop
