How does Claude Code handle component discovery?

Claude Code automatically scans the commands/, agents/, and skills/ directories for Markdown files with YAML frontmatter to register them as active components.

Can I use custom directory names for my commands?

Yes, while default directories are scanned automatically, you can specify additional custom paths for commands, agents, and hooks in the plugin.json manifest.

What is ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} used for?

It is an environment variable used to reference the plugin's root directory, ensuring that script and resource paths remain portable across different user installations and operating systems.

Where should the plugin.json manifest be located?

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