Ship OpenAI plugin archives in tagged releases - #101
generate a portable OpenAI Agent Plugins manifest and MCP configuration from the existing Claude plugin metadata, marketplace entry, packaged skills, and MCP source
publish newsjack-openai-plugin-<tag>.zip from every v* release and include it in checksums.txt
validate manifest/listing fields, MCP transport, all 34 skill folders and files, icon geometry, ZIP paths/types/counts/sizes, and forbidden or secret-like files
run generator/validator unit tests plus a real archive build in PR CI, validate the tag build before GitHub Release publication, and download/revalidate the asset in post-release smoke
document local ChatGPT desktop/Codex marketplace installation and the OpenAI submission path
OpenAI format choice
This uses OpenAI's current portable Agent Plugins format because it is the documented package for the shared ChatGPT/Codex plugin directory and supports both packaged skills and an MCP server. The portable entry point is root plugin.json with the Agent Plugins 1.0 schema; skills are discovered from root skills/; the remote Medialyst server is declared in root mcp.json with the portable streamable-http transport; and OpenAI-specific listing metadata lives under extensions.com.openai.
Newsjack's existing .claude-plugin/plugin.json, marketplace entry, .mcp.json, skill tree, README, and icon remain the sources of truth. The OpenAI files exist only inside the generated ZIP. The existing MCP http transport is mechanically converted to portable streamable-http, and headersHelper is excluded. The release tag vX.Y.Z[-prerelease] produces manifest version X.Y.Z, matching the existing Claude release gate.
OpenAI documents remote MCP publication through the plugin submission flow, with server connection completed in the portal. The archive is also usable as a local ChatGPT desktop/Codex marketplace plugin after extraction.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Tagged releases now include a downloadable OpenAI plugin ZIP for installing Newsjack in ChatGPT desktop and Codex. The package includes Newsjack skills, the Medialyst MCP connection, and app listing information.
Release downloads include a checksum for the plugin archive.
Documentation
Added installation guidance for ChatGPT desktop and Codex, plus information about the plugin package and release verification.
The repository now builds a versioned OpenAI plugin ZIP from the Newsjack package, validates its contents, and includes it in release assets. CI and release workflows validate archives. Documentation describes release checks and installation in ChatGPT desktop and Codex.

Summary
Validate and map plugin sources scripts/lib/openai-plugin.mjs, scripts/openai-plugin.test.mjs
The library validates plugin metadata, skill files, and MCP configuration. It generates an OpenAI manifest and portable MCP configuration. Tests cover version normalization, manifest generation, and MCP conversion.
Build and validate the archive scripts/lib/openai-plugin.mjs, scripts/build-openai-plugin.mjs, scripts/validate-openai-plugin.mjs, scripts/openai-plugin.test.mjs
The builder packages skills, README, icon, and generated metadata in a versioned ZIP. The validator checks archive paths, size limits, contents, and metadata against the source. Command-line scripts expose building and validation.
Connect archive checks to releases scripts/build-release-dist.mjs, .github/workflows/agent-harness-ci.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml, .github/workflows/post-release-smoke.yml
The release build adds the archive and its SHA-256 hash to checksum entries. CI builds and validates a test archive. Release and post-release workflows validate generated and downloaded archives.
Document release and installation steps CHANGELOG.md, docs/release-playbook.md, plugins/newsjack/README.md
The documentation describes the archive, release checks, and installation for ChatGPT desktop and Codex. The plugin README distinguishes Claude’s .mcp.json from the OpenAI archive’s mcp.json.

Merge Risk: Low · up to ad009
The release archive pipeline looks sound, but a few small fixes should land first. Pass the smoke workflow's version input through an environment variable. Keep the prerelease identifier in the plugin manifest version. Provide a real terms-of-service URL for the listing.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/post-release-smoke.yml:
- Line 33: The Bash script interpolates the dispatch input directly, allowing
shell metacharacters in inputs.version to execute in the runner. In the step’s
env block, pass inputs.version through INPUT_VERSION and update the version
assignment in the run script to read from that environment variable, preserving
the existing GH_TOKEN setup.
Review comments at @plugins/newsjack/README.md:
- Around line 45-47: Update the installation instructions for the Newsjack Local
source to account for merges into an existing marketplace: tell users to select
their existing marketplace, whose display name remains unchanged, rather than
assuming a “Newsjack Local” source appears. Preserve the instruction to add only
the Newsjack entry without removing existing plugins.
Review comments at @scripts/lib/openai-plugin.mjs:
- Line 204: Update the termsOfServiceURL value in the listing configuration so
it points to an actual terms-of-service page rather than the repository LICENSE;
use the project’s established terms-of-service URL if available, and do not
derive this field from the repository URL.
- Line 140: Update normalizeReleaseVersion so its manifest version preserves the
full release string, including prerelease identifiers, without a leading “v”;
update the generator and archive result to consume the renamed field instead of
coreVersion. Revise the prerelease assertions in the openai-plugin tests to
verify this behavior.
- Line 526: Update the archive validation and extraction flow around runUnzip so
member types and sizes are checked against MAX_MEMBER_BYTES and
MAX_UNCOMPRESSED_BYTES before any unbounded decompression occurs. Apply
equivalent bounds to the integrity check currently using unzip -tqq, and use
bounded decompression if metadata checks alone cannot enforce the limits.

Pass the dispatch input through an environment variable.
GitHub inserts inputs.version into the Bash script before Bash runs it. An input such as v1.2.3$(command) executes command in the runner, despite the surrounding quotes. That command runs in the step that has GH_TOKEN. Pass the input through env and assign version="$INPUT_VERSION" instead. (docs.github.com)

Use the existing marketplace name after a merge.
If the user merges only the plugin entry into an existing marketplace, its display name remains unchanged. The Plugins Directory will not necessarily contain a “Newsjack Local” source, so the user cannot follow this installation step. Tell users to select their existing marketplace instead.

Preserve prerelease identity in the manifest version.
v1.2.3-rc.1 and v1.2.3 both produce manifest version 1.2.3. If the prerelease is published first, submitting the stable archive requires confirmation for the reused version. Preserve the full version without the leading v and update the prerelease assertions in scripts/openai-plugin.test.mjs.

Link termsOfServiceURL to terms of service, not the license.
The generated listing points its terms-of-service field at /blob/main/LICENSE. A software license does not provide the service terms that this field promises users and reviewers. Supply an actual terms-of-service URL instead of deriving this field from the repository URL. (developers.openai.com)

Check ZIP expansion limits before extraction.
If a caller validates an untrusted archive, extraction can fill the local disk before MAX_MEMBER_BYTES and MAX_UNCOMPRESSED_BYTES are checked. The preceding unzip -tqq also decompresses the archive before those checks.
Check member sizes and types before extraction, or use bounded decompression. Apply the limits to the integrity check as well.
