What is the difference between a skill and a plugin?

A skill is a specific expertise module, while a plugin is a bundled package that can contain multiple skills, agents, commands, and hooks as a single distributable unit.

Can I validate my plugin.json before publishing?

Absolutely. This skill includes validation procedures to check for JSON syntax, required fields, naming conventions, and broken file references.

Does this skill handle semantic versioning for my plugins?

Yes, it provides guidance and validation for MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH versioning to ensure your plugin updates are tracked correctly.

Why use this skill instead of manual creation?

It prevents common errors like incorrect JSON array formatting, invalid naming conventions (using underscores instead of hyphens), and missing metadata that could cause plugins to fail loading.

What components can I include in a Claude Code plugin?

You can bundle specialized subagents, auto-invoked skills, user-triggered slash commands, and event-driven automation hooks.

开发者工具

Automates the creation, structuring, and validation of cohesive Claude Code plugins to bundle agents, skills, and commands.

关于

The Building Plugins skill transforms Claude into an expert architect for developing distributable Claude Code extensions. It provides a standardized framework for bundling multiple AI components—including agents, skills, slash commands, and event hooks—into unified packages. By automating the generation of directory structures, writing complex plugin.json manifests, and performing rigorous validation, this skill ensures that developers can create production-grade tools that follow semantic versioning and industry best practices without manual configuration errors.
