One of 10 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
I am putting together a Cowork extension manifest for a team utility called team-helper. Which directory relative to the plugin root must contain the plugin configuration file, and what is its minimum required root field?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The response identifies the manifest path as .claude-plugin/plugin.json. | Missed | Passed |
| The response states that name is the minimal required field. | Passed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Build a new plugin from scratch through guided conversation. Walk the user through discovery, planning, design, implementation, and packaging — delivering a ready-to-install .plugin file at the end.
A plugin is a self-contained directory that extends Claude's capabilities with commands, skills, agents, hooks, and MCP server integrations. This skill encodes the full plugin architecture and a five-phase workflow for creating one conversationally.
The process:
.plugin fileNontechnical output: Keep all user-facing conversation in plain language. Do not expose implementation details like file paths, directory structures, or schema fields unless the user asks. Frame everything in terms of what the plugin will do.
Every plugin follows this layout:
plugin-name/
├── .claude-plugin/
│ └── plugin.json # Required: plugin manifest
├── commands/ # Slash commands (.md files)
├── agents/ # Subagent definitions (.md files)
├── skills/ # Skills (subdirectories with SKILL.md)
│ └── skill-name/
│ ├── SKILL.md
│ └── references/
├── .mcp.json # MCP server definitions
└── README.md # Plugin documentation
Rules:
.claude-plugin/plugin.json is always requiredtest cases passed, vs 10 / 22 without
