What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides expert guidance for designing, validating, and maintaining Claude Code plugins, including plugin.json, marketplace.json, commands, agents, skills, and hooks. It helps teams scaffold, review, and refine plugin structures to reduce risk and complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided scaffolding: start new plugins or components with vetted templates and safe defaults.
  • Validation & review: audit manifests, references, and workflows to ensure correctness and compliance.
  • Progressive disclosure guidance: structure SKILLs and nested components with templates and best practices (templates/examples).
  • Use Case: When starting a new plugin, outline required files, generate SKILL frontmatter, and verify consistency between plugin.json and marketplace.json.

Quick Start

Diagnose your repository structure, then let this Skill propose a plan of action. After confirmation, you can run /plugin-development:validate to audit, or /plugin-development:init to scaffold a new plugin.
