Use this skill when creating or refining Claude Code plugins. Plugins are bundled collections of agents, skills, commands, hooks, and MCP servers that provide cohesive functionality. Helps design proper directory structures, plugin.json configuration, marketplace distribution, and installation workflows. Automatically invoked when user requests "create a plugin", "bundle components", "distribute capabilities", or mentions plugin development.
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 Dev Skill This skill helps create production-ready Claude Code plugins following Anthropic's official plugin specifications. ## What is a Plugin? A plugin is a **bundled collection** of Claude Code components that work together to provide cohesive functionality. Plugins enable: - **Modular distribution**: Package related capabilities together - **Team sharing**: Install once across multiple projects - **Version management**: Track plugin versions independently - **Marketplace discovery**: Publish for community use - **Automatic updates**: Keep components synchronized ## Plugin vs Individual Components | Approach | When to Use | |----------|-------------| | **Individual Components** | Single capability, personal use, experimental | | **Plugin** | Multiple related components, team distribution, reusable across projects | **Example - Individual approach**: - `.claude/agents/postgres-expert.md` (one file) - `.claude/commands/test.md` (one file) **Example - Plugin approach**: - `database-toolkit/` plugin containing: - Agents: postgres-expert, mongodb-expert, sql-expert - Skills: migration-management, query-optimization - Commands: /migrate, /db-status …

How to install
mdr add andisab/swe-marketplace/plugin-dev@sha256:a0562cd2b119e9efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260326.c644335, 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.
