SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Builds, validates, and packages Cowork plugins so Claude can orchestrate skills without structural drift, failed ZIPs, or ghost triggers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven lifecycle: Guides through scaffolding, environment checks, QA gates, testing, packaging, and publishing with strict retries.
  • Capture and sync: Detects reusable patterns during work, proposes new skills, and writes to both Claude Code and Cowork directories.
  • Reference compliance: Enforces the cowork-plugin spec, reserved names, and cross-skill routing while keeping README, LICENSE, and connectors aligned for release readiness.

Quick Start

Tell Claude to validate, test, and package the current directory as a Cowork plugin with plugin-builder so it can emit a ready-to-install .plugin.
