What naming convention does this skill require?

All plugin names must be provided in kebab-case (e.g., my-new-plugin) to ensure compatibility and consistency.

How do I test my new plugin after generation?

The skill provides a specific command to test your new plugin immediately using: claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/{plugin-name}.

What files are included in the generated scaffold?

The skill generates a .claude-plugin/plugin.json for metadata, a CLAUDE.md for documentation, and a sample command file in the commands/ directory.

Can I use this to update an existing plugin?

No, this skill is designed for initial scaffolding and will return an error if a plugin directory with the same name already exists.

Does it automatically register the plugin to the marketplace?

Yes, if the 'jq' utility is installed, it will automatically update your marketplace.json; otherwise, it provides clear manual instructions.
