Build Claude Code Plugins
Creating Claude Code plugins requires correct structure, validation, documentation, and safe packaging. This skill guides users through plugin architecture, templates, validation, and publishing workflows.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "building-plugins" from https://skillstore.io/skills/c0ntr0lledcha0s-building-plugins.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/c0ntr0lledcha0s-building-plugins/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.
Agent-readable resources
Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.
Test it
Using "building-plugins". Create a minimal plugin for formatting project notes.
Expected outcome:
A proposed plugin structure with a manifest, one command, README sections, installation steps, and validation checklist.
Using "building-plugins". Validate this plugin before I publish it.
Expected outcome:
- Manifest fields reviewed
- Required files checked
- Documentation gaps listed
- Security recommendations summarized
Using "building-plugins". Turn these three commands into a reusable plugin.
Expected outcome:
A packaging plan that groups commands, names components consistently, adds metadata, and explains how to test installation.
Security Audit
SafeStatic analysis flagged many high-risk patterns, but review found they are plugin-building documentation, safe templates, or defensive validation checks. No evidence found of credential exfiltration, malicious command execution, prompt injection, destructive filesystem behavior, or covert network activity.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Create a first plugin
Generate a small plugin with a manifest, command, README, and installation guidance.
Package team automations
Bundle related agents, skills, commands, and hooks into one reusable plugin for a team.
Prepare marketplace release
Validate metadata, documentation, versioning, security notes, and distribution files before publishing.
Try These Prompts
Help me design a Claude Code plugin for [goal]. I want the simplest structure with one command and clear installation instructions.
Create a standard Claude Code plugin named [plugin-name] with a plugin.json manifest, README, one command, and one helper script.
Review my plugin directory for manifest errors, missing documentation, unsafe permissions, and publishing blockers.
Help me prepare [plugin-name] for marketplace release. Check versioning, marketplace metadata, security guidance, templates, examples, and migration notes.
Best Practices
- Start with the smallest useful plugin and add components only when they share a clear purpose.
- Keep permissions minimal and document any script, network, filesystem, or secret requirements.
- Validate manifests, README content, examples, and installation steps before publishing.
Avoid
- Do not bundle unrelated agents, commands, and hooks into one plugin only for convenience.
- Do not pre-approve broad tools or destructive actions without a clear user-facing reason.
- Do not publish templates that require hidden secrets or undocumented local configuration.
