Agent Plugin

The Frostbyte plugin connects your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex) directly to your Frostbyte projects. Your agent can read tasks, pick up tracked work, edit the code, and mark the task done, without you switching between terminal and browser.

The plugin requires Indie or higher. It doesn't consume AI credits to install or use, because your coding agent runs through your own Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or MCP-compatible client.

What it gives you

Once installed, your agent can:

• List tasks: see what's queued in the active release.
• Read tasks: pull the full description, agent context, subtasks, and blockers.
• Update tasks: change status, type, area, release, priority.
• Add decisions and blockers to tasks via activity entries.
• Create new tasks from things discovered while coding ("found a bug in the auth flow, adding it to backlog").
• Read the project structure: areas, releases, recent activity.

Instead of pasting task context into every chat, your agent reads the work from Frostbyte, asks clarifying questions, then writes the code.

With auto-tracking, you link a repo once with a committed .frostbyte.json. After that, new Claude Code or Codex sessions start with the right project context, and the agent keeps tasks current as it builds.

Installation

Open Settings → AI agents and click Connect your agent. Pick your tool and Frostbyte creates a token and shows the steps with that token already filled in. The dialog shows Connected once your agent makes its first call. The Connect your coding agent step in a project's setup checklist opens the same dialog, and ticks itself once an agent has connected.

The steps it gives you:

Claude Code (terminal). Type these in Claude Code, then paste your token when it asks for the Frostbyte API token:

/plugin marketplace add Sky-Enterprises/frostbyte-plugin
/plugin install Frostbyte@frostbyte-plugin

Claude Desktop (Code tab). /plugin doesn't run in the Code tab, so add the marketplace from the terminal in the Views menu:

claude plugin marketplace add Sky-Enterprises/frostbyte-plugin

Then click + next to the prompt box, choose Plugins, then Add plugin, install Frostbyte, and paste your token when asked.

Codex. Install the plugin, save the token in your shell profile, then start a new session:

codex plugin marketplace add Sky-Enterprises/frostbyte-plugin && codex plugin add frostbyte@frostbyte-plugin
export FROSTBYTE_API_TOKEN=<your-token>

Cursor and other tools connect straight to the MCP server.

The Claude chat app and ChatGPT can't connect yet. They need sign-in without a token, which is coming.

What's underneath

The plugin is a thin wrapper around the MCP server. The plugin gives you the convenient install and auth flow; MCP is the underlying protocol. If you're using a different MCP-aware client, point it at the MCP server directly.

Privacy and data

The plugin only reads and writes data in projects you're a member of. Your agent never sees other users' projects. Bearer-token auth means revoking the token in settings instantly cuts off the agent's access. See API tokens.

The plugin doesn't transmit your codebase to Frostbyte. It sees your tasks; your code stays in the agent's local workspace as usual.

What's next

• Manage and revoke tokens: API tokens.
• Link your repo so sessions start with project context: Auto-tracking.
• Connect a client other than Claude Code or Codex: MCP server.
