Workflow

This command orchestrates plugin creation by:

1. Validating Input

   • Verify plugin name follows hyphen-case convention
   • Ensure plugin doesn't already exist
   • Validate component specifications

2. Gathering Requirements

   • If components not specified, ask user what to create
   • Request additional details about agents (names, purposes, models)
   • Request command details (names, purposes, workflows)
   • Request skill details (names, triggers, content structure)

3. Creating Plugin Structure

   • Create plugin directory: plugins/$PLUGIN_NAME/
   • Create component directories as needed
   • Set up skill subdirectories (SKILL.md, assets/, references/)

4. Generating Components

   • Use Task tool with subagent_type="claude-plugin" to design and implement components
   • Create agent files with proper frontmatter
   • Create command files with argument handling
   • Create skill files with progressive disclosure

5. Updating Marketplace

   • Invoke marketplace-update skill to add plugin entry
   • Invoke documentation-update skill to update docs
