What
Proposal to add an atomic-chat marketplace plugin that gives Droid users a validated, reproducible setup flow for connecting to Atomic Chat as a BYOK backend using Factory’s existing generic-chat-completion-api integration.
Atomic Chat is an Apache-2.0 local-first desktop application exposing a single OpenAI Chat Completions–compatible HTTP API across local and configured cloud models.
The integration uses the documented local API base URL:
http://localhost:1337/v1
Why
Users can already configure this manually, but we repeatedly see the same setup failures:
- incorrect localhost port
- invalid API path
- wrong model identifier
- local API server not running
- auth/config mismatch
The goal of the plugin is to provide engineering-focused setup guidance as a reusable skill — not promotional content.
Atomic Chat intentionally exposes a standard OpenAI-compatible interface, so the integration surface is minimal and aligns naturally with Droid’s existing BYOK/custom gateway model.
This is especially useful for local-first and privacy-sensitive workflows.
What’s included (planned PR)
| Path |
Purpose |
| plugins/atomic-chat/.factory-plugin/plugin.json |
Plugin manifest (author: Atomic Chat, license: Apache-2.0) |
| plugins/atomic-chat/skills/atomic-chat-byok/SKILL.md |
Step-by-step BYOK setup, JSON examples, verification, troubleshooting |
| plugins/atomic-chat/README.md |
Short operator-facing overview |
| skills/atomic-chat-byok |
Symlink → ../plugins/atomic-chat/skills/atomic-chat-byok (required by CI skill exposure rules) |
| .factory-plugin/marketplace.json |
Register plugin (proposed category: productivity, unless maintainers prefer another) |
| README.md |
Add plugin entry under “Available Plugins” |
Optional v1
A lightweight slash command only if maintainers think it provides meaningful workflow value beyond the skill itself.
Out of scope
- changing Droid runtime behavior
- introducing custom protocols
- proxying Factory-managed providers
- modifying Factory APIs
- promotional or marketing-oriented content
Install (post-merge)
droid plugin marketplace add https://github.com/Factory-AI/factory-plugins
droid plugin install atomic-chat@factory-plugins
Invocation
- model selection / smoke-test guidance
- skill-driven setup when users ask to connect Droid to Atomic Chat
- local OpenAI-compatible BYOK configuration help
Questions
-
Is this category of OpenAI-compatible local-provider integration appropriate for the official marketplace?
-
Any naming constraints for plugin or skill IDs?
-
Preferred contribution flow:
- issue discussion first
- or draft PR immediately after initial approval?
Maintenance
We’ll maintain the plugin documentation as Atomic Chat’s local API evolves and will keep CI requirements (including skill exposure symlink rules) up to date.
Thanks!
