What is a Claude Code plugin?

A plugin is a specialized capability or set of tools that enhances Claude's behavior, providing domain-specific guidance, custom commands, and integrations like MCP servers.

How do I distribute my plugin to other users?

You can distribute plugins via direct GitHub repository URLs or by hosting a marketplace manifest file that users can add to their Claude Code configuration.

What components can be included in a plugin?

Claude Code plugins can include skills for task guidance, slash commands for utilities, hooks for event-based actions, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

How do I test my Claude Code plugin locally?

You can use the '/plugin marketplace add' command pointing to your local directory and then '/plugin install' to verify your components in a development environment.
