Shell plugins for ChatGPT & Codex

We list 34 plugins written mostly in Shell, about 10% of our 346-plugin catalog. They're ordered by editor's picks, then GitHub stars (checked 2026-10-27). The median one has 10 stars, and 22 of them got a push in the last 30 days.

Most-starred: Agent Guard, Claude Octopus, Sno Station Skills. Biggest shelves here: Miscellany (8), Agent Workflows (6), Docs, Content & SEO (6).

The language is what GitHub detects as the repo's main one, so a plugin can still ship scripts in other languages.

Stars measure popularity, not quality or safety. Descriptions are each project's own. Read the code before you install anything.

Other languages: Python (99) · JavaScript (90) · TypeScript (31) · Go (10) · Rust (9) · HTML (8) · PowerShell (3)
