OpenSkills Plugin Separation

Use this skill when changing plugin features, build-tool wiring, or runtime dependency topology.

Objective

Keep core runtime usable without plugin toolchains, especially for bindings and non-build execution paths.

Key Files

• runtime/Cargo.toml
• runtime/src/lib.rs
• runtime/src/bin/openskills-runtime.rs
• runtime/src/build/**
• bindings/ts/Cargo.toml
• bindings/python/Cargo.toml

Separation Rules

1. Build plugins must be gated behind explicit features.
2. Core runtime defaults should not force plugin toolchains.
3. Bindings should opt out of plugin-heavy default features when appropriate.
4. Public exports for build functions must be feature-gated.
5. CLI build commands must degrade gracefully when build features are disabled.

Validation Checklist

• cargo check -p openskills-runtime passes with default features.
• Bindings compile without pulling plugin-specific dependencies unintentionally.
• Runtime tests that do not require plugin build paths continue to pass.

Output Format

• Feature graph summary
• Leakage findings (if any)
• Minimal patch plan
• Post-change verification commands
