feat(compile): compile to the Agent Plugins package format (11th, opt-in target) - #101

…-in target) Agent Plugins v1.0 (agent-plugins.org, published 2026-08-06 by OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft, Cursor, Vercel; Google core-maintaining) is the vendor-neutral skill package format now read by ChatGPT/Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kiro and VS Code. It is a packaging standard only — it defines no permission model, trust, provenance, sandboxing, or measurement. That absence is exactly the layer Kitbash already is, so rather than fight the format, compile to it. `compile` now emits a spec-shaped plugin: `agent-plugin/plugin.json` (the required $schema + package name) plus one `agent-plugin/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` per skill, with name + description frontmatter so clients inject only the metadata and lazy-load the body. A skill compiled here drops into any Agent-Plugins client having already passed Kitbash's install gate, its declared token budget, and its drift check. The compiler owns plugin.json — one repo-level manifest, not per-skill, written only when it changes. The plugin's skills/ folder is pruned on removal like every other skill-dir target. Unlike the ten auto-detected targets this one is opt-in: enable it via [project].targets, or it self-detects once an agent-plugin/plugin.json exists. It is excluded from the standing-tax benchmark — it is an opt-in publishing target, lazy, with no always-on cost story to measure. Adds 10 tests, docs across README + site, and the changelog entry. 0.17.0.

What
Adds
agent-plugins, the eleventh compile target: it emits the Agent Plugins v1.0 package format (agent-plugins.org) — the vendor-neutral skill package standard published 2026-08-06 by OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft, Cursor and Vercel (Google core-maintaining), now read by ChatGPT/Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kiro and VS Code.Why
Agent Plugins is a packaging standard by design: it defines no permission model, no trust or provenance, no sandboxing, and no measurement. That absence is exactly the layer Kitbash already is. Compiling to the standard — instead of treating it as a competing format — means a Kitbash skill drops into every Agent-Plugins client having already passed the install-gate safety lints, the declared token budget, and the drift check the format leaves out.
What it emits
agent-pluginsin[project].targets, or it self-detects once anagent-plugin/plugin.jsonexists.plugin.json(one repo-level manifest, not per-skill) and rewrites it only when it changes.SKILL.mdis pruned from the plugin'sskills/folder on the next compile, like every other skill-dir target.git diffgate stays green).Tests
10 new assertions: opt-out repo emits nothing; opt-in emits the plugin;
