What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need for correctly structured plugin.json manifests, preventing installation failures, ensuring proper plugin discovery, and avoiding silent errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Required Fields: Guides on mandatory name, version, and description fields, along with recommended metadata like author and license.
  • Configuration & Hooks: Explains how to define environment variables, inline MCP servers, and hooks directly within the manifest for streamlined setup.
  • Auto-Discovery: Emphasizes using Claude Code's auto-discovery for components (commands, agents, skills) over explicit, error-prone paths.

Quick Start

Create a minimal plugin.json manifest for a new plugin named 'my-first-plugin' with version '1.0.0' and a brief description.
