Quick Review

Excellent comprehensive skill for plugin architecture guidance. The description clearly covers all invocation scenarios (scaffolding, structure understanding, manifest setup, etc.). Task knowledge is outstanding with detailed specifications for directory structure, manifest configuration, component organization, path references, naming conventions, and troubleshooting. The structure is well-organized with clear sections and logical flow, though SKILL.md is quite lengthy (could benefit from moving some detailed examples to referenced files). Novelty is strong—while a CLI agent could theoretically scaffold basic directories, this skill encodes complex architectural knowledge (auto-discovery mechanisms, ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} portability, component interaction patterns, manifest schemas) that would require many tokens and multiple iterations to derive correctly. Minor improvement opportunity: more content could be extracted to the referenced files (minimal-plugin.md, standard-plugin.md, etc.) to keep SKILL.md more concise as an overview.
