# Create Plugin Scaffold a new Claude Code plugin from scratch. ## When to use When you want to create a new plugin that extends Claude Code with skills, commands, and agents. This generates the correct directory structure and wires up MCP tools. ## Steps 1. **Get plugin name and description** from the user 2. **Check for conflicts** — call `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-search` to ensure the name isn't taken 3. **Create directory structure** (follows the canonical plugin contract from sibling plugins' ADR-0001s): ``` plugins/<name>/ ├── .claude-plugin/ │ └── plugin.json ├── skills/ │ └── <skill-name>/ │ └── SKILL.md ├── commands/ │ └── <command-name>.md ├── agents/ │ └── <agent-name>.md ├── docs/ │ └── adrs/ │ └── 0001-<name>-contract.md # Plugin-level ADR (Proposed) ├── scripts/ │ └── smoke.sh # Structural contract (≥8 checks) └── README.md # Compatibility + Namespace coordination + Verification + ADR sections ``` 4. **Generate plugin.json** with name, description, version, author (do NOT include `skills`, `commands`, or `agents` arrays — Claude Code auto-discovers these from directory structure) 5. **Generate SKILL.md files** with proper frontmatter: ```yaml --- name: skill-name description: What this skill does allowed-tools: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__tool1 mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__tool2 Bash --- ``` 6. **Generate command files** with name and description frontmatter 7. **Generate agent files** with name, description, and `model: sonnet` 8. **Generate README.md** with install instructions, features, commands, skills, AND the canonical plugin-contract sections: - **Compatibility** — pin to `@claude-flow/cli` v3.6 major+minor - **Namespace coordination** — claim a kebab-case `<plugin-stem>-<intent>` namespace; defer to ruflo-agentdb ADR-0001 §"Namespace convention" - **Verification** — `bash plugins/<name>/scripts/smoke.sh` - **Architecture Decisions** — link to ADR-0001 9. **Generate ADR-0001 (Proposed)** at `docs/adrs/0001-<name>-contract.md` documenting: pinning, namespace coordination, MCP-tool surface count if applicable, smoke contract scope. Status: `Proposed`. 10. **Generate scripts/smoke.sh** — at minimum 8 structural checks: version + keywords; skills/agents/commands present with valid frontmatter; v3.6 pin in README; namespace coordination block in README; ADR exists with status `Proposed`; no wildcard tools in skills. 11. **Update marketplace.json** if adding to the ruflo marketplace. ## MCP-tool drift to avoid (per sibling-ADR lessons learned) Several plugins shipped with subtle MCP bugs the loop has been finding. Don't replicate them: - **`embeddings_embed` does not exist.** Real tool is `embeddings_generate`. Don't reference `embeddings_embed` in any `allowed-tools` line. - **`agentdb_hierarchical-*` does NOT route by namespace.** It routes by tier (`working|episodic|semantic`). Pass `tier`, not `namespace`. For namespaced reads/writes, use `memory_*` instead. - **`agentdb_pattern-*` does NOT route by namespace.** It routes through ReasoningBank. Don't pass a `namespace` arg — fallback writes to the reserved `pattern` namespace via `memory-store-fallback`. - **`pattern` (singular) and `patterns` (plural) are different namespaces.** ReasoningBank fallback writes to `pattern`; `hooks_pretrain` writes to `patterns`. Don't conflate them. ## Plugin.json schema Required fields: - `name` — plugin identifier (kebab-case) - `description` — what the plugin does - `version` — semver Recommended fields: - `author` — `{ "name": "...", "url": "..." }` - `homepage`, `license`, `keywords` Optional fields: - `graph_adapter` — ADR-130 graph intelligence contract (commented out by default in generated output): ```json // "graph_adapter": { // "edgeRelations": ["my-relation-type"], // "nodeTypes": ["entity"], // "autoRegister": true // } ``` When `autoRegister: true`, the plugin's edges are automatically included in `graph_edges` writes by the core graph layer. Declare `edgeRelations` — the relation types this plugin produces. **Do NOT include** `skills`, `commands`, or `agents` arrays in plugin.json — these are auto-discovered from the directory structure by Claude Code and will cause validation errors if present. ## Available MCP tools to wire Browse available tools: `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-info` Common tool categories: - `memory_*` — storage, search, retrieval - `agentdb_*` — 15 controller-bridge tools (do NOT pass `namespace` arg — they route by tier or ReasoningBank); call `agentdb_controllers` at runtime for the canonical list - `neural_*` — neural training and prediction - `hooks_*` — lifecycle hooks and intelligence - `browser_*` — browser automation - `workflow_*` — workflow management - `aidefence_*` — safety scanning - `embeddings_*` — 10 vector-embedding tools (use `embeddings_generate`, NOT `embeddings_embed` which does not exist)
