Try Arcade in your agent. This plugin is for calling tools and getting started with Arcade — connect apps, call tools, and explore what Arcade can do. For team-wide features (custom tool allowlists, fine-tuned governance, connecting your IDP, etc.), use the
scale-arcadeskill and the Arcade dashboard.
Ask for what you want: email, calendar, Slack, issues, docs, and more. Your agent picks the right tool across every app you've connected. Sign in once in the browser without ever handing your agent a key.

in the support matrix.
- "What's on my calendar tomorrow?"
- "Summarize unread email from this week."
- "Draft a reply to that thread, then wait for me to send it."
- "What can Arcade do?"
- "We want this workflow on a team gateway. What should we set up?"
/try-arcadeor/scale-arcade/arcade-status— check the gateway, sign-in, and connected apps/arcade-connect google— connect an app ahead of time
Your assistant speaks intent to Arcade. You see the useful result, a sign-in link when an app isn't connected yet, and a confirmation prompt before anything is sent, created, or deleted.
- Install guides — quick install + one page per client
- Client support matrix — what each install gets
- Arcade docs — product, APIs, SDKs, and setup. Agents can start from llms.txt.
- Arcade dashboard — org rollout, project gateways,
identity, and tool policy (see
scale-arcade). - Architecture — package layout and execution model.
- Privacy: tasks run through Arcade's hosted gateway and the apps you connect — privacy policy.
npm ci
npm run verifyverify runs structural checks, JSON Schema validation, hook/manifest
tests, plugins discover, and claude plugin validate (pinned in
package.json devDependencies; CI uses Node 22.23.2).
CI runs the same steps on push and pull request (.github/workflows/check.yml).
Pull requests finish with a complete job that aggregates workflow jobs,
waits for Cursor Bugbot to finish with success, and follows the
aggregate pattern in
evantahler/botholomew.
Use complete as the only required status check in branch protection.
Release Please opens a release PR on main with version bumps across VERSION,
adapter manifests, and CHANGELOG.md. Merge that PR to tag v{VERSION} and
create the GitHub release.
Configure paths in release-please-config.json. The workflow lives at
.github/workflows/release-please.yml.
