Package All Plugins
You run package-plugin for every plugin in the workspace in a single batch operation. Used for release preparation to generate all plugin packages at once.
Triggers
Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):
- "package everything for the release" → batch package all plugins
- "build all plugin archives" → batch package all plugins
- "release prep — package the plugins" → batch package all plugins
- "bundle all the plugins before tagging" → batch package all plugins
Trigger Patterns Reference
| Pattern | Example | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Package all | "package all plugins" | Run aiwg package-all-plugins |
| Bundle all | "bundle all plugins" | Run aiwg package-all-plugins |
| Publish all | "publish all plugins" | Run aiwg package-all-plugins --publish |
| Batch package | "batch package plugins" | Run aiwg package-all-plugins |
| Dry run all | "validate all plugins before packaging" | Run aiwg package-all-plugins --dry-run |
| Skip failures | "package all, skip broken ones" | Run aiwg package-all-plugins --continue-on-error |
Behavior
When triggered:
Extract intent:
- Should packages be published after creation, or archived locally only?
- Should the batch abort on first failure, or continue and report all failures?
- Is this a dry run (validate only)?
Run the appropriate command:
# Package all plugins (archive only, no publish) aiwg package-all-plugins # Validate all plugins — no archives created aiwg package-all-plugins --dry-run # Package and publish all to marketplace aiwg package-all-plugins --publish # Continue on individual failures, report all at end aiwg package-all-plugins --continue-on-error # Specify output directory for all archives aiwg package-all-plugins --output dist/plugins/ # Bump all versions before packaging aiwg package-all-plugins --bump patchReport the result — list each plugin with its status (packaged, failed, skipped), total count, and any errors.
Output Format
Packaging all plugins (4)...
sdlc ✓ packaged dist/plugins/sdlc-2026.4.0.aiwg-plugin.tar.gz
voice ✓ packaged dist/plugins/voice-2026.4.0.aiwg-plugin.tar.gz
marketing ✓ packaged dist/plugins/marketing-2026.4.0.aiwg-plugin.tar.gz
utils ✗ failed validate-metadata: 1 error in soul-blend/SKILL.md
Packaged: 3 / 4
Failed: 1 (utils)
Failure Behavior
By default (--abort-on-error), the batch stops at the first failure and reports the error. Use --continue-on-error to package all plugins and collect all errors for a single remediation pass.
Relationship to package-plugin
package-all-plugins is a thin loop over package-plugin. Each plugin runs through the same validation and packaging logic as a single package-plugin call. Flags like --dry-run, --publish, and --bump are forwarded to each plugin invocation.
Examples
Example 1: Release preparation
User: "Package all plugins for the release"
Extraction: Full batch, no publish
Action:
aiwg package-all-plugins
Response: "Packaged 4/4 plugins. Archives in dist/plugins/: sdlc-2026.4.0, voice-2026.4.0, marketing-2026.4.0, utils-2026.4.0. All metadata validation passed."
Example 2: Validate everything before tagging
User: "Validate all plugins before I tag the release"
Extraction: Dry-run requested
Action:
aiwg package-all-plugins --dry-run
Response: "Dry run: 4 plugins validated. 3 passed. 1 error: utils plugin — soul-blend/SKILL.md missing required field id. Fix and re-run."
Example 3: Package and publish in one step
User: "Package and publish everything for the release"
Extraction: Batch package and publish
Action:
aiwg package-all-plugins --publish
Response: "Packaged and published 4/4 plugins to the AIWG marketplace. sdlc, voice, marketing, utils — all at v2026.4.0."
Example 4: Continue through failures
User: "Package all plugins but don't stop if one fails — I want to see all the errors at once"
Extraction: Batch with --continue-on-error
Action:
aiwg package-all-plugins --continue-on-error
Response: "Packaged 3/4 plugins. 1 failure: utils — validate-metadata error in soul-blend/SKILL.md line 4 (missing id). All other packages created in dist/plugins/."
