SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Plugin development often suffers from inconsistent folder structures and unclear manifests, leading to brittle plugins and long onboarding times. This skill provides a canonical scaffold and architectural patterns to help teams organize code, agents, skills, commands, and hooks with consistency and scalability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canonical plugin folder layout with .claude-plugin/ manifest, and folders for agents/, skills/*/SKILL.md, commands/, hooks/, and a README.md.
  • Clear manifest guidance and validation rules to define plugin boundaries, including agents, commands, and skills sections.
  • Architectural patterns and collaboration guidance (Single Responsibility, Layered Architecture, Agent Collaboration) to support scalable and maintainable plugins across projects.

Quick Start

Scaffold a minimal plugin layout with a manifest and at least one agent, one command, and one skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Claude Code plugin for scalability?▼

Structure your Claude Code plugin using a canonical layout with a .claude-plugin/ manifest and dedicated folders for agents/, skills/*/SKILL.md, commands/, and hooks/ to ensure predictable collaboration and maintainable growth.

What is the best way to organize agents and hooks in a plugin architecture?▼

Organizing agents and hooks in a plugin architecture requires applying design patterns like Single Responsibility and Layered Architecture to define clear boundaries and ensure scalable, predictable agent collaboration across your project.

How do I validate a Claude Code plugin manifest?▼

Validate a Claude Code plugin manifest using the provided plugin validator to ensure your implementation adheres to the documented structure and rules defined within the agents, commands, and skills sections of your manifest.

Can I use design patterns to scale plugin folder structures across multiple projects?▼

Yes, you can scale plugin folder structures across projects by applying architectural patterns and collaboration guidance to maintain consistent organization of agents, skills, commands, and hooks for predictable growth.

Why does my plugin architecture suffer from brittle folder structures and long onboarding?▼

Plugin architecture becomes brittle and causes long onboarding due to inconsistent folder structures and unclear manifests, which can be resolved by adopting a canonical scaffold and clear architectural patterns.

Do I need a specific folder layout to scaffold a minimal Claude Code plugin?▼

Yes, scaffolding a minimal Claude Code plugin requires a canonical folder layout containing a manifest, at least one agent, one command, and one skill to establish proper boundaries and structure.
