ui-plugin-navigation

Find enabled UI plugin panels that fit the current task and provide a chat link that opens or toggles the panel in the side pane. It can also surface a shortcut after a new panel is enabled.

OriginalShow the original description

Discover UI plugin panels relevant to the current task and surface a one-click pill in chat to open (toggle) them in the side pane. Use when a running UI plugin's panel would help with what the user is doing, or right after the user enables a new UI plugin pane and a shortcut to open it is handy.

Good for

  • Opening a relevant plugin panel while working
  • Getting a shortcut after enabling a new UI pane
  • Showing a panel that supports the current task

Overview

What it does

Checks the descriptions and display names of enabled UI plugins to find a side panel relevant to the current task. When a suitable panel is available, it provides a chat link that opens or toggles the plugin view in the auxiliary pane. It can also offer a link to a newly enabled plugin panel so you can open it right away. Only panels belonging to plugins that are enabled and running are eligible.

When it helps

Use it when you want to quickly open a relevant plugin view while working, or need a shortcut to a pane you just enabled. It does not surface panels that have little connection to the conversation.

Example requests

  • “Open a plugin panel that can help with this task.”
  • “Give me a link to the plugin panel I enabled.”

Notes

Links are available only for auxiliary-pane views belonging to enabled, running plugins.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Document check

AI checked the SKILL.md for operations that need care and for setup requirements. The score comes only from actually running the skill (hands-on test).

SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?

UI Plugin Navigation

[!NOTE]
UI plugins and UI extensions are the same thing: a sidecar-backed web
panel that renders in the auxiliary (side) pane. Treat the two terms as
interchangeable. Everything below applies whichever term the user or other
skills use.

Some plugins expose a UI panel that renders in the auxiliary (side) pane. This skill tells you how to surface a clickable pill in chat that opens/toggles that panel, using the sidecar:// link scheme.

When to surface a pill

Offer a pill in either situation:

  1. Contextual relevance. Read the enabled UI plugins' description / display_name. If a plugin's purpose matches what the user is doing right now and seeing its UI would help, offer that plugin's pill.
  2. After a new UI plugin pane is enabled. When the user has just created and enabled a UI plugin pane, include a pill pointing to it so they can open it immediately.

Surface pills sparingly — only when the panel is genuinely useful. Don't repeat a pill the user has already opened or dismissed.

Step 1: Find UI plugin panes and their views

UI plugin panes are backed by sidecars, which live under these directories (each in its own <sidecar-id>/ folder containing a sidecar.json):

  • ~/.gemini/config/sidecars/<sidecar-id>/
  • ~/.gemini/<app-name>/builtin/sidecars/<sidecar-id>/
  • ~/.gemini/config/plugins/<plugin>/sidecars/<sidecar-id>/ (or external sidecar folders referenced by
    ~/.gemini/config/plugins/<plugin>/sidecars.json)
  • ~/.gemini/<app-name>/builtin/plugins/<plugin>/sidecars/<sidecar-id>/ (or referenced by ~/.gemini/<app-name>/builtin/plugins/<plugin>/sidecars.json)

The sidecar-id is the folder name — except for plugin sidecars (those under a plugins/<plugin>/sidecars/ directory or referenced by a plugin's sidecars.json), whose id is namespaced as <plugin>/<sidecar-folder>. A sidecar has a UI panel only if its sidecar.json has has_web_ui set to true and a ui_config.views entry with entrypoint: SIDECAR_UI_ENTRYPOINT_AUX_PANE. From that entry take:

  • sidecar-id — the folder name, or <plugin>/<folder> for plugin sidecars.
  • view-path — the path field (e.g. /, host.html?view=auxpane).
  • Use description / display_name (and views[].title) to judge relevance and to label the pill.

Step 2: Emit the pill link

Write a standard markdown link with the sidecar:// scheme:

[Label](sidecar://<sidecar-id>/<view-path>)
  • Label — should be equivalent to the view title, the sidecar display_name or the sidecar_id with preference in that order. If the sidecar is part of a plugin, you can also use the plugin name instead.
  • Only emit pills for AUX_PANE views of plugins that are enabled and running.

Examples (substitute the actual id/path you discovered in Step 1):

[<Sidecar Name>](sidecar://<sidecar-id>/)
[<Sidecar Name>](sidecar://<sidecar-id>/host.html?view=auxpane)

Constraints & Tips

  • The pill toggles the aux pane. Clicking opens the plugin's panel. DO NOT output a plugin link, if the plugin isn't enabled/running.
  • Deduce relevance from the description, not guesswork. If no enabled UI plugin's description matches the conversation, don't force a pill.
  • One pill per pane. Don't emit multiple links to the same view.
