FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Claude Code plugin for commands, agents, and hooks?▼

Structure a Claude Code plugin by organizing commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP servers into conventional directories. Adhere to specific file naming conventions to ensure components are maintainable and support auto-discovery within the plugin architecture.

What is the best way to configure plugin metadata in a manifest?▼

The best way to configure plugin metadata is by defining component paths and plugin properties like name and version in the `plugin.json` manifest. This configuration ensures proper component organization and system discoverability.

How do I use portable paths for helper scripts in plugin development?▼

Use portable paths for helper scripts by referencing the `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` variable for path resolution. This ensures cross-platform compatibility and reliable script execution across different environments during plugin development.

Where should I place command files when scaffolding a new plugin?▼

Place command files in the standard directory layout designated for commands when scaffolding a new plugin. Following this conventional directory structure ensures your commands are correctly auto-discovered by the system.

Does plugin architecture require specific naming conventions for MCP servers?▼

Yes, plugin architecture requires adherence to specific file naming conventions for MCP servers and other components. Following these naming best practices ensures proper auto-discovery and maintainable component organization.
