Does Claude Code automatically find my plugin commands?

Yes, Claude Code uses an auto-discovery mechanism that automatically loads markdown files located in the commands/, agents/, and skills/ directories at the plugin root.

Can I use custom directory names for my components?

Yes, you can specify custom paths for commands, agents, and hooks in the plugin.json manifest, though these supplement rather than replace the default directories.

Where should the plugin manifest be located?

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

How do I ensure my plugin paths are portable?

You should always use the ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} environment variable for all intra-plugin path references to ensure they work across different operating systems and installation methods.
