This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a plugin",.

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

# Plugin Structure for Claude Code

## Overview

Claude Code plugins follow a standardized directory structure with automatic component discovery. Understanding this structure enables creating well-organized, maintainable plugins that integrate seamlessly with Claude Code.

**Key concepts:**
- Conventional directory layout for automatic discovery
- Manifest-driven configuration in `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
- Component-based organization (commands, agents, skills, hooks)
- Portable path references using `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`
- Explicit vs. auto-discovered component loading

## Directory Structure

Every Claude Code plugin follows this organizational pattern:

```
plugin-name/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   └── plugin.json          # Required: Plugin manifest
├── commands/                 # Slash commands (.md files)
├── agents/                   # Subagent definitions (.md files)
├── skills/                   # Agent skills (subdirectories)
│   └── skill-name/
│       └── SKILL.md         # Required for each skill
├── hooks/
│   └── hooks.json           # Event handler configuration
├── .mcp.json                # MCP server definitions
