What components do I need to build a Claude Code extension?▼

Building a Claude Code extension requires agents, commands, skills, hooks, and properly configured plugin.json and marketplace.json files. These components define the plugin's behavior, integration points, and distribution metadata.

How do I configure hooks and agents for a Claude Code plugin?▼

Configuring hooks and agents requires applying valid configuration patterns and templates during plugin creation. This defines specific automated triggers and autonomous behaviors within the Claude Code extension environment.

Does my Claude Code plugin need a plugin.json and marketplace.json file?▼

Claude Code plugins require plugin.json and marketplace.json files to define accurate plugin metadata and distribution configuration. These files validate the extension setup and prevent common configuration mistakes.

Can I organize multiple plugins in a single repository?▼

Yes, Claude Code plugins can be organized in a multi-plugin repository layout. This structure requires specific directory organization and validation rules to maintain distinct component configurations across extensions.
