FAQPage Schema
How do I create and validate a marketplace.json configuration for distributing Claude plugins?▼

A marketplace.json file configures plugin collections for Claude Code. This Skill generates valid marketplace.json structures with required fields, semantic versioning, and author formatting, then validates syntax and source formats (GitHub, Git URLs, local paths) to prevent common errors and ensure compliance before distribution.

Can I add plugins from different sources like GitHub, Git URLs, and local paths to the same marketplace?▼

Yes. Marketplace.json supports mixed source formats within a single configuration. This Skill provides instructions and helper scripts for integrating individual plugins across GitHub repositories, remote Git URLs, and local filesystem paths in one marketplace structure.

What validation checks ensure my marketplace.json is correct before distribution?▼

The Skill includes automated validation to check JSON syntax, required fields presence, semantic versioning compliance, author object formatting, and placeholder detection. Robust error reporting identifies issues preventing marketplace deployment and plugin discovery.

How do I set up an internal marketplace for my team's approved Claude plugins?▼

Initialize marketplace.json with required fields and structure, add plugin entries from your sources, validate the configuration, and test before distribution. This Skill guides the full workflow—from setup through validation to deployment—streamlining internal tool adoption and compliance.

What's the difference between single-plugin and multi-plugin marketplace configurations?▼

Single-plugin marketplaces define one plugin distribution; multi-plugin marketplaces curate collections. This Skill handles both patterns using the same marketplace.json structure and workflows, supporting independent or grouped plugin management and version control.

Does this Skill help with version management and semantic versioning in plugin distributions?▼

Yes. The Skill ensures semantic versioning compliance in marketplace.json entries and provides validation to catch versioning errors. Proper version control prevents conflicts and maintains consistency across plugin distributions and updates.
