Greptile Summary

This PR adds the announcement blog post, changelog entry, and updated docs for the Appwrite plugin for Codex, which bundles agent skills and the Appwrite Docs MCP server into a single install.

  • New blog post at /blog/post/announcing-appwrite-codex-plugin covers the plugin's skills, the bundled docs MCP, and why the API MCP is not included.
  • Docs at /docs/tooling/ai/ai-dev-tools/codex gain a new Step 1 for plugin installation; existing steps are renumbered to 2–4.
  • Changelog entry at /changelog/entry/2026-05-11 links back to the blog post.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Content-only PR; safe to merge once the minor wording issues are resolved.

All changes are Markdoc content with no functional logic. The info box in the docs promises manual skill-copying instructions but links to a section that only covers MCP servers, which could leave readers without the guidance they expect. A small grammar fix in the blog post heading is also needed.

The info-box callout in src/routes/docs/tooling/ai/ai-dev-tools/codex/+page.markdoc should either link to actual skill-copying instructions or rephrase to reflect what Step 3 actually covers.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/routes/blog/post/announcing-appwrite-codex-plugin/+page.markdoc New blog post announcing the Appwrite Codex plugin; minor "Setup" vs "Set up" grammar issue in a heading.
src/routes/changelog/(entries)/2026-05-11.markdoc New changelog entry referencing the blog post; content and links look correct.
src/routes/docs/tooling/ai/ai-dev-tools/codex/+page.markdoc Docs updated to add plugin install as new Step 1, renumbering existing steps; info box promises skill-copying instructions but only links to the MCP server section.
static/images/blog/announcing-appwrite-codex-plugin/cover.png Binary blog cover image; no issues.

Reviews (1): Last reviewed commit: "Merge branch 'main' into add-codex-plugi..." | Re-trigger Greptile

- **The Appwrite Docs MCP server:** No credentials required. Codex can search the Appwrite documentation as it works, instead of relying on whatever it was trained on.
- **Thirteen agent skills:** Markdown skills covering the Appwrite CLI and every major Appwrite SDK (TypeScript, Dart, .NET, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, and Swift), plus two guided deployment skills for shipping Appwrite Sites and Functions with the Appwrite CLI. Codex loads the relevant skill on its own when a task calls for it, and the deployment skills can also be invoked explicitly with `$appwrite-deploy-site` and `$appwrite-deploy-function`.

P2 "Setup" is a noun; the imperative verb form should be "Set up" (two words).

If you'd rather copy skills and configure the MCP server yourself, skip to [Step 3](#step-3).

P2 Info box promises skill-copying instructions that don't exist in the docs

The callout reads "If you'd rather copy skills and configure the MCP server yourself, skip to Step 3", but Step 3 only covers adding MCP servers manually — it has no instructions for manually copying skill files into ~/.codex/skills/. A reader who follows that link expecting to find skill setup will find nothing about it, which is especially surprising because the blog post explicitly mentions the old manual workflow of copying files into that directory.

Probably should have FAQ, especially around why API MCP is not supported. We do cover it in the article, but FAQs should be good here in frontmatter

The fastest way to get started with Appwrite in Codex is to install the **Appwrite plugin** from the Appwrite marketplace. The plugin includes agent skills for the Appwrite CLI and all major SDKs and registers the Appwrite Docs MCP server, giving Codex everything it needs to work with your Appwrite projects.

@adityaoberai I see we're using a PNG and the assets test is failing, let's also fix that.
