Single self-contained file (no external script/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} dependencies, unlike the repo's own A2A host skill), and it's specific enough to be genuinely useful: exact feature IDs, the admin-UI click path, and the 7-value auth-type enum a baseline answer would have to guess at.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5

What Orchard Core A2A Client does
Documents how to enable and configure the CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.A2A feature -- adding remote Agent-to-Agent host connections via the admin UI, the 7 supported authentication types (ApiKey, Basic, OAuth2ClientCredentials/PrivateKeyJwt/MutualTls, CustomHeaders, Anonymous), and assigning connections to AI Profiles, Templates, and Chat Interactions so remote agents become callable tools. Triggers on Orchard Core A2A Client setup, connection, authentication, or troubleshooting requests.
