Plugin Development Toolkit

The Plugin Development Toolkit equips developers with expert guidance across every aspect of Claude Code plugin creation through seven specialized skills that cover the complete plugin development surface. These skills provide deep knowledge of hook development with the advanced events API, Model Context Protocol server integration for external tool connectivity, plugin structure and manifest configuration, settings patterns using markdown files, slash command creation with frontmatter syntax, autonomous agent development with AI-assisted generation, and skill development with progressive disclosure principles. Each skill follows a consistent documentation pattern with lean core content, detailed reference materials, working examples, and utility scripts for validation. The toolkit's centerpiece is the /plugin-dev:create-plugin command which provides an eight-phase guided workflow from initial discovery through documentation, asking clarifying questions at each stage, automatically loading relevant skills, using AI-assisted agent generation, running validation utilities, and guiding through testing and verification. This structured approach ensures plugins follow proven architectural patterns and meet quality standards for marketplace distribution. The toolkit itself exemplifies the patterns it teaches, serving as both documentation and reference implementation for plugin authors.
