What is ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} used for?

It is an environment variable used for portable path references, ensuring your plugin works across different operating systems and installation paths.

How does Claude Code discover new commands in a plugin?

Claude Code automatically scans the commands/ directory for Markdown (.md) files and registers them as slash commands.

Where should the plugin.json file be located?

The plugin.json manifest must be located within the .claude-plugin/ directory at the root of your plugin.

Can I use custom directories for plugin components?

Yes, you can specify custom paths in the plugin.json manifest, which will supplement the default auto-discovery directories.

What naming convention should I use for plugin files?

It is best practice to use kebab-case (lowercase with hyphens) for all directory and file names to ensure consistency and compatibility.
