What is a Claude Code plugin?

A Claude Code plugin is a specialized collection of skills, commands, and hooks that extend Claude's behavior and capabilities for specific tasks or domain-specific workflows.

How should I handle versioning for my plugins?

You should follow Semantic Versioning (SemVer): use Patch for bug fixes, Minor for new features, and Major for breaking changes.

What is the required structure for a Claude plugin?

Every plugin must live in its own directory under plugins/ and include a .claude-plugin/ folder with plugin.json, plus a mandatory README.md file.

How do I register a new plugin in the marketplace?

You must add the plugin's name, description, and source directory path to the .claude-plugin/marketplace.json file, ensuring the description matches the one in plugin.json.

Does this skill support Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on adding MCP server configurations, including commands and arguments, directly into your plugin's metadata.
