FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Claude plugin for the marketplace?▼

Scaffolding a Claude plugin requires a valid kebab-case name and repository access. The tool checks that no existing plugin directory occupies the target path before bootstrapping the new plugin skeleton and generating initial skill stubs.

What files are generated when bootstrapping a plugin template?▼

Scaffolding a plugin requires a valid kebab-case name and repository access to populate the structure. You must ensure no existing plugin directory occupies the target path before running the bootstrap command to prevent file conflicts.

Why does plugin scaffolding require a kebab-case name?▼

Scaffolding creates initial metadata in .claude-plugin/plugin.json and marketplace.json, and generates a placeholder SKILL.md with update-ready frontmatter. This reduces repetitive manual work when onboarding new plugins to the marketplace.

When do I need to use a plugin scaffold tool?▼

After scaffolding a Claude plugin, you can begin customizing the generated files and the initial skill stub. This involves updating the placeholder SKILL.md frontmatter and adding specific keywords to the marketplace metadata.
