Jbabin91 Super Claude Plugin Creator

Plugin Creator

Generate complete Claude Code plugins with proper structure and configuration.

When to Use

• Creating shareable plugin packages
• Building complete tool collections
• Organizing related skills/commands/agents
• Distributing functionality to teams
• Contributing to plugin marketplaces

Plugin Structure

A complete plugin includes:

plugin-name/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   └── plugin.json           # Plugin manifest
├── skills/                   # Optional: Skill definitions
│   ├── skill-1.md
│   └── skill-2.md
├── commands/                 # Optional: Slash commands
│   ├── command-1.md
│   └── command-2.md
├── agents/                   # Optional: Agent definitions
│   ├── agent-1.md
│   └── agent-2.md
├── hooks/                    # Optional: Event hooks
│   └── hooks.json
├── README.md                 # Documentation
└── LICENSE                   # Optional: License file

Core Workflow

1. Gather Requirements

Ask the user:

• Plugin name: Kebab-case identifier
• Purpose: What problem does this plugin solve?
• Components: What will it include (skills/commands/agents/hooks)?
• Target audience: Who will use this?
• Distribution: Public marketplace or private?
• Dependencies: Required tools or other plugins?

2. Generate Plugin Structure

Create Directory Structure

mkdir -p plugin-name/.claude-plugin
mkdir -p plugin-name/skills
mkdir -p plugin-name/commands
mkdir -p plugin-name/agents
mkdir -p plugin-name/hooks

Generate plugin.json

{
  "name": "plugin-name",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Clear description of what this plugin does",
  "author": {
    "name": "Author Name",
    "email": "email@example.com",
    "github": "github-username"
  },
  "license": "MIT",
  "category": "appropriate-category",
  "keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2", "keyword3"],
  "skills": ["skill-1", "skill-2"],
  "commands": ["command-1", "command-2"],
  "agents": ["agent-1", "agent-2"],
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/username/plugin-name"
  },
  "homepage": "https://github.com/username/plugin-name",
  "requires": {
    "tools": ["git", "npm"],
    "plugins": []
  }
}

Distribution

Public Marketplace

1. Create GitHub repository
2. Add marketplace.json (if creating marketplace)
3. Tag releases with versions
4. Share repository URL

Users install via:

/plugin marketplace add username/plugin-name
/plugin install plugin-name

Private/Work Distribution

1. Host on private Git server
2. Share repository URL with team
3. Add to team marketplace

Users install via:

/plugin marketplace add git@internal:plugins/plugin-name
/plugin install plugin-name

Best Practices

1. Clear Purpose: Plugin should solve one specific problem domain
2. Good Documentation: Comprehensive README with examples
3. Semantic Versioning: Follow semver for releases
4. Minimal Dependencies: Only require what's necessary
5. Test Before Release: Validate all components work
6. Helpful Keywords: Make plugin discoverable

Anti-Patterns

• ❌ Kitchen-sink plugins (too many unrelated features)
• ❌ Missing documentation
• ❌ No examples
• ❌ Unclear versioning
• ❌ Missing license
• ❌ Poor component organization

Troubleshooting

Plugin Not Loading

Solution:

• Validate plugin.json syntax
• Check directory structure
• Verify all referenced files exist
• Restart Claude Code

Components Not Found

Solution:

• Check component names match manifest
• Verify files are in correct directories
