Agent skill that teaches AI coding agents to drive robotcode properly in Robot Framework projects.

With this plugin, your AI coding agent uses robotcode like an experienced Robot Framework engineer — picking the right command for the task and honoring your project's profiles. Instead of guessing, it tries things interactively, looks keywords up against your installed libraries, runs your suites, inspects finished runs, and analyzes the project for issues. Things you can ask:

• "run the smoke suite with the dev profile"
• "rerun just the tests that failed last time"
• "try the new login flow against the real app, with a visible browser"
• "does css=.cart-icon actually match anything on the live cart page?"
• "draft a test for password reset, reusing what we already have"
• "extract this block into a reusable keyword"
• "why did Login Works fail in last night's run?"
• "summarize the failures from yesterday's nightly run"
• "what arguments does our Create Order keyword take?"
• "is there already a keyword for waiting until the spinner is gone?"
• "what keywords does common.resource expose?"
• "list the tags we have and how many tests use each"
• "set up a prod profile with BASE_URL=https://prod.example.com"
• "show me the effective config when I use -p ci -p docker"
• "lint only the files I changed today"
• "are there any unused keywords or unresolved variables?"

• A Robot Framework project.
• The robotcode CLI tools, installed in the project's Python environment (the command-line tool — not to be confused with the VS Code extension of the same name). You can set it up yourself following the installation guide, or let the skill walk you through scope (dev dependency vs. venv-only) and extras (runner, analyze, repl, …) on first use.
• An AI agent that supports plugins: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot Chat, Codex, or another agent that supports Agent Plugins. Agents without plugin support can still load the skill directly (see Install).

Add the parent marketplace once, then install this plugin from it:

# Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add robotcodedev/robotframework-agent-plugins
claude plugin install robotcode@robotframework-agent-plugins

# GitHub Copilot CLI
copilot plugin marketplace add robotcodedev/robotframework-agent-plugins
copilot plugin install robotcode@robotframework-agent-plugins

For Codex, VS Code Copilot Chat, and other agents, see the marketplace README.

Using the RobotCode VS Code extension? It already bundles this plugin via contributes.chatPlugins — no separate install needed for VS Code Copilot Chat.

Without the marketplace. The skill content is plain Markdown, so any agent that loads skill folders from a known directory can use it directly. For Claude Code:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/robotcodedev/robotframework-agent-plugins
cp -r robotframework-agent-plugins/plugins/robotcode/skills/robotcode ~/.claude/skills/

Other agents have analogous skill directories — consult their docs. The trade-off is that your agent's plugin updates don't reach this copy; you re-pull manually. To get the skill for a specific robotcode release, add --branch robotcode--v<version> to the clone.

The skill describes the commands and options of a specific robotcode release, and every robotcode release has a matching tag robotcode--v<version>. Installing without a ref gives you the plugin for the latest release.

If your project uses an older robotcode (check with robotcode --version), pin the marketplace to the matching tag. For example, for robotcode 2.7.0 in Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add robotcodedev/robotframework-agent-plugins#robotcode--v2.7.0
claude plugin install robotcode@robotframework-agent-plugins

See Versions and pinning for the command in other agents and for switching between versions.

# Claude Code: refresh the marketplace, then update the plugin
claude plugin marketplace update robotframework-agent-plugins
claude plugin update robotcode@robotframework-agent-plugins

# GitHub Copilot CLI
copilot plugin update robotcode@robotframework-agent-plugins

# Codex: refreshing the marketplace also updates the installed plugin
codex plugin marketplace upgrade robotframework-agent-plugins

A marketplace pinned to a tag doesn't update. To move to another robotcode version, switch the tag as described in Match your robotcode version.
