How do I test my plugin locally?

You can test your plugin by launching Claude Code with the directory flag: 'claude --plugin-dir ./your-plugin-path'.

Does Claude Code support private plugin repositories?

Yes, you can distribute plugins via private repositories by setting GITHUB_TOKEN, GITLAB_TOKEN, or BITBUCKET_TOKEN environment variables.

Where should the plugin manifest be located?

The plugin.json manifest must be placed inside a directory named .claude-plugin/ at the root of your plugin folder.

What is the difference between a standalone extension and a plugin?

Standalone extensions are designed for personal project use, whereas plugins are structured for sharing and reuse across multiple projects via marketplaces.

How do I prevent command naming conflicts in plugins?

Plugin commands use a namespaced format like '/plugin-name:command' to ensure they don't collide with core commands or other plugins.
