Add upload-to-dropbox skill for Codex plugin - #12
Merged

Conversation
This change adds a new skill to improve upload workflow guidance for ChatGPT/Codex when users want to save generated content or upload files to Dropbox. This addresses feedback that @mentioning the plugin and providing clear skill-based routing (similar to Google Drive's approach) significantly improves action selection and performance. Changes: - New skill: upload-to-dropbox for saving/uploading content to Dropbox - Uses create_file tool with proper confirmation workflow - Clear differentiation from collect-files-with-request (which is for collecting uploads FROM others, not uploading BY the user) - Updated README.md with new skill documentation and examples - Bumped plugin version to 1.1.0 - Updated defaultPrompt to include upload example - Enhanced collect-files-with-request skill to route upload requests to the new upload-to-dropbox skill The new skill follows existing patterns with proper safety confirmations, clear routing rules, and comprehensive workflow guidance. Related: Slack discussion on improving upload performance through better skill-based routing (similar to OpenAI's Google Drive plugin). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Updates the upload-to-dropbox skill to leverage the non-public upload_file tool, which provides better support for various file types and upload scenarios compared to the text-oriented create_file. Changes: - Replace create_file with upload_file in skill tools list - Update workflow step references to upload_file - Adjust safety notes to reflect broader file type support - Add upload_file to OAuth scope mapping documentation for all MCP hosts The upload_file tool uses the same files.content.write OAuth scope.

Just curious, is there a reason we are changing the order here?

Yes, the intent was to surface the new save/upload workflow more prominently in the suggested prompts, since that’s the primary capability this PR adds. There isn’t a functional dependency on the order, though, so I’m happy to keep the original ordering if we’d prefer to minimize the change.

Recognize upload_file as a supported tool, expect the Codex-only upload-to-dropbox skill, and allow collect-files routing notes to differ when hosts do not share the same sibling skills. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Can we rename this to CODEX_SPECIFIC_SKILL_CONTENT? I imagine we might have some other skills in the future that are host specific, and it would benefit to have them bucketed by host!

lgtm! just added one suggestion!
Address review feedback to name the allowlist by host so future host-specific skill content can be bucketed clearly. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
