About
frugal is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by fainir. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Copilot CLI: github/awesome-copilot). We first saw it on 2026-11-06 and have recorded no change since. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-11-06.
Before your agent signs up for a paid API, LLM model, cloud service, SaaS plan, domain or anything else that costs money, it checks free tiers, right-sized plans and billing periods, startup, student, open-source and nonprofit programs, verified promo codes and cheaper alternatives, sized to the amount at stake. It never pays by itself.
What it asks for
- Installs as a plugin bundle

What it declares, asks for and runs, in full

Works with
- Copilot CLI
From the marketplaces that list it and the MCP transport it declares, as each client documents them. We do not test plugins.
Connect
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.

Want this mark on your plugin in our catalog?
Prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record, and you can show this mark on the card, with live banners for your site and README. How verification works
You also get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the public marketplace file https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/HEAD/.github/plugin/marketplace.json. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
