Plugin Structure
plugin.json at the root, components beside it
Anthropic · Apache-2.0
When
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a plugin", "scaffold a plugin", "understand plugin structure", "organize plugin components", "set up plugin.json", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "add commands/agents/skills/hooks", "configure auto-discovery", or needs guidance on plugin directory layout, manifest configuration, component organization, file naming conventions, or Claude Code plugin architecture best practices.
The Catch
plugin.json scaffold and auto-discovery. First-step only; overlaps the other plugin-dev siblings.
