What is a Claude Code plugin.json file?

It is a manifest file located at .claude-plugin/plugin.json that defines the plugin's metadata, skills, commands, and server configurations.

Can I use dependencies in plugin.json?

No, the 'dependencies' field is reserved for marketplace.json; this skill helps identify and remove such invalid fields from your manifest.

What are the naming requirements for plugins?

Plugin names must use kebab-case, consisting only of lowercase alphanumeric characters and hyphens (e.g., 'my-custom-plugin').

How do I validate my plugin configuration?

Use the included Nushell scripts provided by this skill to check for schema compliance, kebab-case naming, and valid file paths.

Where should my plugin manifest be located?

All Claude Code plugin manifests must be placed exactly at .claude-plugin/plugin.json within the plugin's root directory.
