Plugin Structure for Claude Code
Overview
Claude Code plugins follow a standardized directory structure with automatic component discovery. Understanding this structure enables creating well-organized, maintainable plugins that integrate seamlessly with Claude Code.
Key concepts:
- Conventional directory layout for automatic discovery
- Manifest-driven configuration in
.claude-plugin/plugin.json - Component-based organization (commands, agents, skills, hooks)
- Portable path references using
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} - Explicit vs. auto-discovered component loading
