Purpose

When to Use

• Creating new plugins for a marketplace
• Adding/modifying plugin components (commands, skills, agents, hooks)
• Updating plugin versions
• Working with plugin or marketplace manifests
• Setting up local plugin testing
• Publishing plugins

Getting Started

Create New Plugin

Copy
python scripts/create_plugin.py plugin-name \
  --marketplace-root /path/to/marketplace \
  --author-name "Your Name" \
  --author-email "your.email@example.com" \
  --description "Plugin description" \
  --keywords "keyword1,keyword2" \
  --category "productivity"

• Creates plugin directory structure
• Generates plugin.json manifest
• Creates README template
• Updates marketplace.json

Bump Version

Copy
python scripts/bump_version.py plugin-name major|minor|patch \
  --marketplace-root /path/to/marketplace

• major: Breaking changes (1.0.0 → 2.0.0)
• minor: New features, refactoring (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)
• patch: Bug fixes, docs (1.0.0 → 1.0.1)

Development Workflow

1. Create Structure

Copy
mkdir -p plugins/plugin-name/.claude-plugin
mkdir -p plugins/plugin-name/commands
mkdir -p plugins/plugin-name/skills

2. Plugin Manifest

Copy
{
  "name": "plugin-name",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "description": "Plugin description",
  "author": {
    "name": "Your Name",
    "email": "your.email@example.com"
  },
  "keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2"]
}

3. Register in Marketplace

Copy
{
  "name": "plugin-name",
  "source": "./plugins/plugin-name",
  "description": "Plugin description",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2"],
  "category": "productivity"
}

4. Add Components

5. Local Testing

Copy
# Add marketplace
/plugin marketplace add /path/to/marketplace-root

# Install plugin
/plugin install plugin-name@marketplace-name

# After changes: reinstall
/plugin uninstall plugin-name@marketplace-name
/plugin install plugin-name@marketplace-name
