build-plugin skillA
build-plugin is agent-read markdown (skill) from techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit: 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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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`. …
