SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation of new Claude Code plugins by guiding users through the entire scaffolding process, from initial requirements to file generation and marketplace registration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Workflow: Walks users through defining plugin name, purpose, and components (commands, skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers).
  • Automated File Generation: Creates necessary files like plugin.json, CHANGELOG.md, and component-specific files based on user input.
  • Marketplace Integration: Optionally registers the newly created plugin in the marketplace.json.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to quickly set up a new plugin for code linting. They invoke plugin-creator, answer a few questions about the plugin's name, description, and desired components (e.g., a command for linting), and the Skill generates the entire plugin structure, ready for further development.

Quick Start

Use the plugin creator skill to scaffold a new plugin named 'code-linter'.
