Workflow

The form data submitted by the user was injected into your context as additionalContext by the UserPromptExpansion hook. Parse the JSON object { name, description, keywords, marketplacePath } and proceed:

  1. Create plugin directory structure

`` <marketplacePath>/plugins/<name>/ ├── .claude-plugin/ │ └── plugin.json ├── skills/ └── README.md ``

  1. Write plugin.json

Read <marketplacePath>/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json to get the owner name and email, then write <marketplacePath>/plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json: ``json { "name": "<name>", "version": "0.1.0", "description": "<description>", "author": { "name": "<owner.name from marketplace.json>", "email": "<owner.email from marketplace.json>" }, "homepage": "<metadata.homepage from marketplace.json>", "keywords": ["<keyword1>", "<keyword2>"] } ``

  1. Write README.md

Create <marketplacePath>/plugins/<name>/README.md with a minimal header and the plugin description.

  1. Register in marketplace

Edit <marketplacePath>/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json and append to the plugins array: ``json { "name": "<name>", "source": "./plugins/<name>", "description": "<description>" } ``

  1. Hooks

If the plugin needs event hooks, add them to hooks/hooks.json in the plugin root (or inline in plugin.json) rather than user settings. See [Hooks and Relative Paths](${CLAUDESKILLDIR}/../../../../docs/plugins.md#hooks-and-relative-paths).

  1. Report to user

- <marketplacePath>/plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json created - <marketplacePath>/plugins/<name>/skills/ created - <marketplacePath>/plugins/<name>/README.md created - Entry added to <marketplacePath>/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json - Next steps: - Use /create-skill or /create-subagent to populate the plugin with tools - Test locally: claude --plugin-dir <marketplacePath>/plugins/<name> - Once satisfied with the result, update the marketplace so the plugin becomes visible: claude plugin marketplace update
