Can I include external API connections in my plugin?

Yes, the skill supports the design and configuration of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to connect Claude to external databases, APIs, and services.

How do I install the plugin once it's created?

The skill delivers a .plugin file to your outputs directory. In the Claude Cowork desktop app, you can simply accept the file preview to install it.

What are the five phases of the creation process?

The process includes Discovery (understanding goals), Component Planning (identifying needs), Design (specifying details), Implementation (file creation), and Review/Package (final delivery).

Do I need to know the specific file structure to build a plugin?

No. This skill automatically handles the directory layout, including the .claude-plugin manifest, command markdown files, and skill definitions.

What is a Claude Cowork plugin?

A plugin is a self-contained directory that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized commands, skills, agents, and external tool integrations via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
