This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a plugin", "scaffold a plugin", "understand plugin structure", "organize plugin components", "set up plugin.json", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "add commands/agents/skills/hooks", "configure auto-discovery", or needs guidance on plugin directory layout, manifest configuration, component organization, file naming conventions, or Claude Code plugin architecture best practices.

Excellent comprehensive skill for plugin development. The description clearly covers all invocation scenarios (create, scaffold, structure, organize, configure). Task knowledge is outstanding with complete details on directory structure, manifest configuration, component organization, naming conventions, path references, auto-discovery, best practices, and troubleshooting. Structure is very clear with logical sections and good use of examples, though SKILL.md is quite long (could benefit from moving some detailed patterns to reference files). Novelty is strong—while a CLI agent could create basic files, this skill provides critical architectural knowledge about Claude Code's specific plugin system (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}, auto-discovery rules, component relationships) that would require significant exploration and trial-and-error otherwise. The skill meaningfully reduces cognitive load and potential errors when building plugins. Minor improvement: some detailed patterns/examples could move to the referenced files to make SKILL.md more scannable, but current organization remains functional.
