Plugin Development

Features

• Plugin scaffolding with standard structure
• Component generation (commands, skills, agents, hooks)
• Automated validation of plugin structure and configuration
• Local testing environment setup
• Ambient guidance via plugin-authoring skill
• Deep plugin review via plugin-reviewer agent
• Automated safety guardrails via hooks

Use Cases

• Scaffolding a new Claude Code plugin project
• Adding new commands, skills, or agents to an existing plugin
• Validating plugin structure and configuration before testing or release
• Setting up a local development environment for iterative plugin testing
• Getting guidance on plugin development best practices

Non-Goals

• Developing plugins for platforms other than Claude Code
• Executing or running the plugins themselves (focus is on development process)
• Providing runtime functionality for end-user applications
• Acting as a general-purpose code assistant outside of plugin development context

Workflow

1. Scaffold a new plugin using `/plugin-development:init`
2. Add components (commands, skills, agents, hooks) using respective commands
3. Validate the plugin structure and configuration with `/plugin-development:validate`
4. Test the plugin locally using `/plugin-development:test-local`
5. Iterate on development, validating and reinstalling as needed
6. Perform a deep review using `/agents plugin-reviewer` before release

Practices

• Plugin structure
• Command design
• Skill design
• Agent design
• Hook implementation
• Documentation
• Testing
• Release management
