What is the purpose of ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}?

It is an environment variable used to reference the plugin's root directory, ensuring that scripts and hooks remain portable across different operating systems and installation paths.

Where must the plugin manifest be located?

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

Can I use custom directory names for my plugin components?

Yes, while default directories are auto-discovered, you can specify custom paths for commands, agents, and hooks within the plugin.json manifest.

How does Claude Code discover new plugin components?

Claude Code uses an auto-discovery mechanism that scans specific root-level directories such as commands/, agents/, and skills/ for markdown and configuration files.
