| description | Orient in the NDDev Claude Code builder — what each creator/checker skill produces and the native artifact families (plugin, marketplace, skill, command, subagent, hook, MCP). Use first when building or auditing a Claude Code plugin. |
NDDev Builder orientation
This marketplace authors and validates native Claude Code artifacts against
the current format (code.claude.com/docs). Each family ships a conservative
creator and a deterministic checker.
Native artifact families
- Plugin —
.claude-plugin/plugin.json (only name required) + component
dirs at plugin root: skills/, commands/, agents/, hooks/hooks.json,
.mcp.json, .lsp.json.
- Marketplace — repo-root
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json (name,
owner, plugins[]).
- Skill —
skills/<name>/SKILL.md; only description recommended; body
loads on invoke (progressive disclosure).
- Command — a skill as a flat
commands/*.md; namespaced /<plugin>:<name>.
- Subagent —
agents/*.md; name + description required.
- Hook —
hooks/hooks.json; events + matcher + handlers; ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}.
- MCP —
.mcp.json; stdio/http/sse/ws; scoped tool names.
Rules
- Prefer
skills/ over commands/ for new work.
name is stable identity (enabledPlugins/install key); use displayName
for UI, renames for migrations.- Gate every artifact on
claude plugin validate . --strict.
