FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a Claude Code agent plugin from scratch?▼

To scaffold a Claude Code agent plugin, this Skill uses a guided workflow to define agent purpose, select tools, generate system prompts, and automatically create all necessary plugin files.

What is the process for generating agent frontmatter and system prompts?▼

Generating agent frontmatter and system prompts involves answering questions about the agent's requirements and purpose, which the workflow then translates into structured configuration files and prompts.

Can I add a new agent to an existing plugin without breaking the structure?▼

Yes, you can add agents to existing plugins. The workflow includes conflict detection during file creation to ensure the existing plugin structure remains intact.

Does the scaffolding workflow handle marketplace registration for new agents?▼

Yes, the scaffolding workflow supports marketplace registration, allowing you to prepare newly generated agent plugins for distribution alongside local file creation.

What's the best way to automate code generation for custom developer tools?▼

Automating code generation for custom developer tools is best handled by defining the agent's required tools and purpose upfront, letting the workflow scaffold the complete plugin structure automatically.

When should I not use an automated scaffolding tool for agent creation?▼

You should not use an automated scaffolding tool if your agent requires highly custom, non-standard plugin architecture that falls outside the guided frontmatter and manifest generation workflow.
