How do I test my Claude plugin during development?

You can use the 'dogfooding' approach by running 'claude --plugin-dir ./your-plugin-path'. This loads the plugin immediately and allows for rapid iteration.

What is the recommended naming convention for plugins and skills?

Plugins should use a neutral noun prefix (e.g., 'datakit'). Skills within that plugin should use the gerund form (e.g., 'datakit-extracting'), while agents use role nouns and commands use imperative verbs.

What files should be placed inside the .claude-plugin directory?

Only the plugin.json manifest (and marketplace.json if applicable) should go inside the .claude-plugin directory. All other components like skills, agents, and commands must stay at the plugin root.

How can I manage multiple plugins in a single repository?

You can create a marketplace.json file within a .claude-plugin directory at the repository root. This file maps unique plugin names to their respective subdirectories within the repo.

Does a Claude plugin require a specific manifest file?

Yes, every plugin requires a plugin.json file located in the .claude-plugin/ directory. It must contain at least the name, version, and description of the plugin.

Standardizes the structure and manifest requirements for packaging Claude Code skills, agents, and commands into distributable plugins.

概要

MetaSkill Plugin Packaging provides a rigorous framework for developers to transform custom Claude enhancements into portable, production-ready plugins. It enforces a standardized directory structure where the .claude-plugin folder remains reserved for metadata, ensuring components like skills and agents are correctly placed at the root for optimal discovery. By defining strict naming conventions and manifest schemas, it simplifies the process of creating, dogfooding, and distributing tools via local marketplaces or public repositories. This skill is indispensable for maintainers looking to scale their AI tooling while maintaining consistency across complex multi-plugin environments.
