Getting your plugin listed

Any conda plugin published on GitHub is automatically discovered and added to this index. There is nothing special you need to do beyond publishing your plugin.

Requirements

Your repository must:

1. Contain a pyproject.toml at the repository root.

2. Declare at least one entry point under [project.entry-points.conda] or [project.entry-points."conda"].

3. Not be a fork of another repository (forks are filtered out).

4. Be publicly visible on GitHub (private repositories are filtered out).

Example pyproject.toml

[project]
name = "conda-my-plugin"
description = "A short description of what my plugin does"

[project.entry-points.conda]
my-plugin = "conda_my_plugin.plugin"

[project.urls]
documentation = "https://my-plugin.readthedocs.io"

The project.name and project.description fields are used for the plugin listing. If project.urls.documentation is set, the link appears after the repository receives a reviewed category mapping tied to its immutable numeric GitHub repository ID.

Categorization

Known plugins are categorized using reviewed mappings. A pinned local Qwen3.5 2B model suggests a category for each unmapped plugin without modifying the reviewed mappings. To correct or stabilize its category, open a pull request updating scripts/categories.toml in the conda-plugins repository. Record the repository’s current owner/repo name, numeric GitHub ID, and category in the existing inline-table format.

Building a plugin from scratch

See the official conda plugin tutorial and the conda-plugin-template repository for a starter project.
