How do I start building a new Claude plugin?

You can use the init_plugin.py script included in this skill to generate a standardized directory structure including manifests, commands, and agent templates.

What parts of a plugin does the validation script check?

The validation script checks for required fields in plugin.json, semantic versioning formats, command frontmatter, and the presence of necessary documentation like README and LICENSE files.

Does this skill support official Anthropic directory submissions?

Yes, it includes a prepare_submission script that automatically gathers repository URLs, commit SHAs, and descriptions to populate the official submission form.

Is there a safety mechanism for deleting or uninstalling plugins?

The skill is strictly configured to use the AskUserQuestion tool for explicit user confirmation before any deletion or uninstallation occurs to prevent accidental data loss.
