+# Minimal Plugin Example
+
+A bare-bones plugin with a single command.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+hello-world/
+├── .claude-plugin/
+│   └── plugin.json
+└── commands/
+    └── hello.md
+```
+
+## File Contents
+
+### .claude-plugin/plugin.json
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "hello-world"
+}
+```
+
+### commands/hello.md
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: hello
+description: Prints a friendly greeting message
+---
+
+# Hello Command
+
+Print a friendly greeting to the user.
+
+## Implementation
+
+Output the following message to the user:
+
+> Hello! This is a simple command from the hello-world plugin.
+>
+> Use this as a starting point for building more complex plugins.
+
+Include the current timestamp in the greeting to show the command executed successfully.
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+After installing the plugin:
+
+```
+$ claude
+> /hello
+Hello! This is a simple command from the hello-world plugin.
+
+Use this as a starting point for building more complex plugins.

+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **Minimal manifest**: Only the required `name` field
+2. **Single command**: One markdown file in `commands/` directory
+3. **Auto-discovery**: Claude Code finds the command automatically
+4. **No dependencies**: No scripts, hooks, or external resources
+
+## When to Use This Pattern
+
+- Quick prototypes
+- Single-purpose utilities
+- Learning plugin development
+- Internal team tools with one specific function
+
+## Extending This Plugin
+
+To add more functionality:
+
+1. **Add commands**: Create more `.md` files in `commands/`
+2. **Add metadata**: Update `plugin.json` with version, description, author
+3. **Add agents**: Create `agents/` directory with agent definitions
+4. **Add hooks**: Create `hooks/hooks.json` for event handling
