Hi! Would it be possible to add support for agents to the plugin system?
It’s not obvious to me why agents were omitted from the initial plugin system release, while skills, MCP servers, and apps are already supported.
I have several setups where skills rely on custom agents, and right now there’s no convenient way to package and share them with colleagues as a single plugin.

Companies are currently building organizational marketplaces and agents are an important building block of those.

I'd like this as well (e.g., https://github.com/honeycombio/agent-skill/tree/main/honeycomb/agents).
I'd really need this to properly package and distribute a complex integration with our app, where agents are necessary due to context rot
@etraut-openai was there a particular reason this functionality wasn’t included in the initial plugin release? Were there design or technical challenges involved, or was it primarily a matter of time and prioritization?
