SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive, hot-reloading development environment for building, testing, and validating Claude Code plugins, streamlining the entire plugin development lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hot-Reloading Development: Iterate rapidly on plugins with live validation and instant feedback.
  • Interactive Testing: Use the Plugin Playground to record and replay command executions.
  • Dependency Visualization: Understand plugin architecture with ASCII and Mermaid graph outputs.
  • Use Case: When developing a new plugin, use this Skill to automatically detect changes in your code, validate your manifest and resource files in real-time, and test commands interactively without restarting the development server.

Quick Start

Start the dev server for your plugin located at './my-plugin' with hot-reloading enabled.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up hot-reloading for Claude Code plugin development?▼

Hot-reloading for Claude Code plugin development is enabled by starting the dev server, which automatically detects code changes and provides instant feedback without restarting. It streamlines the entire plugin lifecycle by validating manifests and resources in real-time.

Can I validate plugin manifests and lint resources during plugin scaffolding?▼

Yes, you can validate plugin manifests and lint resources during scaffolding. The environment supports real-time manifest validation and resource linting, ensuring your plugin architecture meets required standards before interactive testing.

What is the best way to record and replay command executions for interactive testing?▼

The best way to record and replay command executions is by using the Plugin Playground, an interactive testing feature that captures command execution sessions for immediate replay and validation during plugin development.

How does dependency visualization work for reviewing plugin architecture?▼

Dependency visualization works by rendering your plugin architecture into ASCII and Mermaid graph outputs. This mechanism allows you to visually review complex plugin relationships and dependency structures during development.

Why does my development server need restarting when I iterate on plugin code?▼

Your development server needs restarting because hot-reloading is not enabled. Enabling hot-reloading allows the environment to automatically detect code changes, providing live validation and instant feedback without manual restarts.
