coding-agent-extension-builder

Kotlin library for generating coding agent extensions with compile-time safety.

Why Use This Library

Writing extensions by hand is error-prone:

• Need to remember marketplace.json format
• Need correct folder structure (.claude-plugin/plugin.json, skills/*/SKILL.md)
• Easy to misspell field names (allowed-tools? allowedTools?)
• Mistakes are hard to catch because agents still work with invalid config

Quick Start

// 1. Create a plugin
val plugin = Plugin.Builder(
    name = "my-plugin",
    description = "My plugin description",
    version = "1.0.0"
)
    .author(name = "Your Name")
    .addCommand(
        Command.Builder(
            name = "my-command",
            description = "What this command does",
            body = "# Command\n\nInstructions..."
        ).build()
    )
    .addSkill(
        Skill.Builder(
            name = "my-skill",
            description = "When to use this skill",
            body = "# Skill\n\nGuidance..."
        ).build()
    )
    .build()

// 2. Create marketplace (optional)
val marketplace = Marketplace.Builder(
    name = "my-marketplace",
    owner = Owner(name = "Your Name")
)
    .addPlugin(plugin)
    .build()

// 3. Write to disk
marketplace.writeClaudeCodeExtension(Path("output"))
// Or just the plugin: plugin.writeClaudeCodeExtension(Path("output"))
