/plugin-authoring

The authoring procedures for this marketplace: how to create a skill, how to create a plugin, what to update when either changes, and how to delete one without leaving dangling metadata.

Promoted out of CLAUDE.md (issue #2140) because all four are procedures with a clear trigger — they do not need to be resident when the user is debugging a hook. CLAUDE.md keeps only the repo blurb, the rules index, and the gotchas.

Detailed patterns live in the rules this skill names; it is the sequence, not a second copy of them.

Creating New Skills

See .claude/rules/skill-development.md for detailed patterns.

Note (Claude Code 2.1.157): plugins placed in .claude/skills are now auto-loaded without a marketplace entry — handy for local or quick one-off plugins. This repo's published plugins still use the full marketplace + release-please lifecycle described in Plugin Lifecycle below.
