wiqd Core

wiqd Core

Extension ID: microsoft.wiqd.core · Package: @microsoft/wiqd-ext-core · Runtime: in-process @microsoft/teamsfx-core

What it does

The wiqd Core extension powers the plugin lifecycle: scaffold a plugin, compose skills, connectors, and optional declarative agents, then provision, package, share, publish, inspect, and delete. It also owns agent-component authoring and the supported wiqd agent project workflow. It is the only default lifecycle provider. The retired ATK subprocess extension is removed during upgrade and cannot be selected with a flag or environment variable.

Workflow walkthrough

wiqd plugin create --name my-plugin
cd my-plugin
wiqd plugin add skill --name "Triage Issues"
wiqd plugin add agent
wiqd plugin validate --mode source --env dev
wiqd plugin provision --env dev
wiqd plugin package --env dev
wiqd plugin validate --mode package --env dev --package-file "<zip>"
wiqd plugin share --scope users --email dev@example.com --env dev

Source validation checks the declarative-agent surface, not the entire plugin. Package validation checks the captured ZIP and is the default mode. For publishing and tenant administrator approval, follow Build a Plugin.
