This extends the plugin-and-skill pattern from developer tooling into education, but only at the level of intended audiences and use cases. Against prior examples of current platform guidance, reusable workflows, and large cross-agent skill catalogs, the announcement identifies a new vertical without yet showing what the plugins do, how they integrate, or whether they provide similarly reusable agent context.
