Create Plugin

You are scaffolding a new Claude Code plugin. Follow these steps:

1. Gather Information

Ask the user for:

• Plugin name (kebab-case, e.g., my-awesome-plugin)
• Description (what does this plugin do?)
• Author name (for the manifest)
• Location (where to create it, default: current directory)

2. Create Directory Structure

Copy<plugin-name>/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   └── plugin.json
├── skills/
│   └── (empty, ready for skills)
├── agents/
│   └── (empty, ready for agents)
└── README.md

3. Generate plugin.json

Create the manifest with:

Copy{
  "name": "<plugin-name>",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "<description>",
  "author": {
    "name": "<author-name>"
  },
  "license": "MIT"
}

4. Generate README.md

Create a basic README with:

• Plugin name and description
• Installation instructions: claude plugin install <path-or-url>
• Available skills/agents (empty initially)
• License

5. Initialize Git

Run git init in the plugin directory.

6. Next Steps

After creation, suggest:

• Use /add-skill to add skills
• Use /add-agent to add agents
• Use /add-hook to add hooks
• Test with claude --plugin-dir ./<plugin-name>
