Does it write the actual code for my new plugin?

No, it scaffolds the structure and templates. You will still need to define your domain-specific rules, skills, and hooks within the generated files.

Why is this skill useful for teams?

It ensures that every plugin built for the Claude workbench follows the same directory structure and includes mandatory quality checklists, reducing technical debt.

Can I use this for non-workbench projects?

This skill is specifically designed for the Claude workbench architecture and expects a standard repository structure to function correctly.

What does the New Plugin skill actually create?

It creates a plugin directory with a plugin.json configuration, a specialized markdown rules file for that domain, and registers the new entry in the marketplace.json file.

Are there naming restrictions for new plugins?

Yes, the skill enforces lowercase alphanumeric characters and hyphens only, and it will reject names that already exist or contain special characters.
