- Security, accessibility, reliability, and cost considerations
- Phased build plans and engineering handoffs

## Upload

Upload the ZIP with `plugin.json`, `skills/`, and `assets/` directly at the ZIP root. Do not wrap the entire package in an extra parent folder.

## Testing

Use the cases in `submission/test-cases.md` before public submission. Confirm both activation and output quality.

## Publishing

The package includes listing copy, starter prompts, test cases, release notes, and a submission checklist. Do not add MCP unless a future version genuinely needs live authenticated data or actions.
