Bundle skills, hooks, agents, or an MCP server into one installable Claude Code plugin and ship it. Use when asked to bundle tools into one plugin, package tools for a colleague, publish a plugin to a marketplace, share my tools with my team, or ship a plugin. Asks who it's for and where it's hosted, then walks analyze, assemble, ship, and maintain, tailored to that answer. Sibling to build-mcp.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Build Plugin Bundle many tools (skills, hooks, agents, MCP servers) into one installable Claude Code plugin and distribute it. The defining move of this skill: establish who the plugin is for and where it will live with `AskUserQuestion` before assembling anything, then tailor every phase to that answer. A personal one-project bundle and a public team marketplace share almost nothing past "assemble", so branch early and commit to the branch. ## How this relates to build-mcp `build-mcp` builds one MCP server: analyze a service, implement the tools, deploy, scale. `build-plugin` bundles many tools (including MCP servers produced by `build-mcp`) into a single shareable unit and distributes it. When `build-mcp` reaches its Distribute phase for a team or public audience, it hands off here: packaging into a plugin and listing it on a marketplace is this skill's job. Use `build-mcp` to make a server, then `build-plugin` to ship it alongside your skills, hooks, and agents. ## The four phases 1. **Analyze**: decide what tools go in the bundle, and name it. 2. **Assemble**: build the plugin folder and manifest, test it locally with `claude --plugin-dir`. …

How to install
mdr add techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit/build-plugin@sha256:b7b910202512ec8dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260707.adf465f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
