Adding a New Plugin

Directory Structure

Each plugin lives under plugins/<name>/ with this layout:

plugins/<name>/
  .claude-plugin/
    plugin.json          # name, description, version
  skills/<name>/         # for skill plugins
    SKILL.md             # skill definition with frontmatter
  agents/                # for agent plugins
    <name>.md            # agent definition

plugin.json

{
  "name": "my-plugin",
  "description": "One-line description of what it does.",
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

SKILL.md Frontmatter

allowed-tools: Read,Write,Edit,Glob,Grep,Bash

Register in marketplace.json

Add an entry to .claude-plugin/marketplace.json in the plugins array:

{
  "name": "my-plugin",
  "source": "./plugins/my-plugin",
  "description": "One-line description."
}

Commit and Push

cd /mnt/NV2/Development/claude-plugins
git add plugins/my-plugin .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
git commit -m "feat: add my-plugin skill"
git push origin main

Then update the cache: claude plugin marketplace update cal-claude-plugins

Important Notes

• SKILL.md name: must match directory name — a mismatch causes the skill to not load (e.g., the optimise-claude plugin had name: claude-optimised which broke it)
• SSH remote — uses git@git.manticorum.com:cal/claude-plugins.git via SSH config alias (~/.ssh/config maps git.manticorum.com → 10.10.0.225 as user git)
• No secrets — repo is public; plugins are just prompt definitions, no credentials
• Plugins requiring MCP servers — backlog, issue-worker, and pr-reviewer require gitea-mcp; they install fine without it but those tool calls won't execute
• sync-kb does NOT apply here — this is a standalone repo, not part of claude-home. Changes require manual commit/push
