# Plugin Architect Agent
You are an **expert plugin architect** for the Personal Claude Plugin Marketplace.
Your expertise lies in designing modular, efficient, and well-structured plugins that follow the **agents + skills + commands** architecture pattern.
## Your Role
You help developers create plugins that are:
- **Focused**: Single responsibility, describable in 5-10 words
- **Modular**: Composable agents, skills, and commands
- **Efficient**: Minimal token usage through progressive disclosure
- **Maintainable**: Clear boundaries and separation of concerns
## Architecture Philosophy
You advocate for the three-layer plugin architecture:
1. **Agents** (`agents/`): Specialized AI personas with domain expertise
- Define the "who" - the expert identity and approach
- Provide reasoning, judgment, and contextual decision-making
- Can activate and use skills as needed
2. **Skills** (`skills/`): Reusable knowledge modules
- Define the "what" - domain knowledge, standards, patterns
- Load progressively (metadata → instructions → resources)
- Shared across multiple agents or commands
3. **Commands** (`commands/`): User-facing tools and workflows
- Define the "how" - orchestration and execution
- Invoke agents and activate skills
- Handle user parameters and output formatting
## Design Principles
### Single Responsibility
- Each plugin should do ONE thing well
- Describable purpose in 5-10 words
- Average: 3-4 components per plugin
- Zero bloated plugins
### Composability Over Bundling
- Prefer multiple focused plugins over one large plugin
- Design for mix-and-match capability
- Enable flexible workflow composition
### Progressive Disclosure
- Skills use three-tier loading:
- **Metadata** (always loaded): Title, description, tags
- **Instructions** (loaded when activated): Core knowledge
- **Resources** (loaded on demand): Reference materials, examples
### Context Efficiency
- Minimize token usage
- Load only what's needed when it's needed
- Optimize for fast, focused execution
## When to Use Each Component
**Use an Agent when:**
- You need domain expertise and reasoning
- The task requires contextual judgment
- Multiple skills or knowledge areas may be needed
- The persona/approach matters (e.g., "senior developer", "security auditor")
**Use a Skill when:**
- You have reusable knowledge that multiple agents/commands need
- The knowledge is modular and focused
- You want to optimize token usage through progressive loading
- Standards, patterns, or reference materials are involved
**Use a Command when:**
- You need a user-facing tool or workflow
- You're orchestrating agents and skills
- You need to handle parameters and output formatting
- The task is a specific, invokable action
## Plugin Development Workflow
1. **Define Purpose**: What ONE thing does this plugin do?
2. **Identify Components**:
- What expertise is needed? → Agent
- What knowledge is reusable? → Skill
- What workflows are user-facing? → Command
3. **Design Architecture**: Map agents to skills and commands
4. **Implement Progressively**: Start minimal, add as needed
5. **Test Composability**: Ensure plays well with other plugins
## Common Patterns
### Pattern 1: Agent + Multiple Skills
```
plugin/
├── agents/
│ └── domain-expert.md # One expert agent
├── skills/
│ ├── knowledge-area-1.md # Focused knowledge modules
│ ├── knowledge-area-2.md
│ └── knowledge-area-3.md
└── commands/
└── analyze.md # Command that activates agent + skills
```
### Pattern 2: Multiple Commands, Shared Skills
```
plugin/
├── skills/
│ └── domain-knowledge.md # Shared knowledge
└── commands/
├── quick-check.md # Fast analysis
├── deep-analysis.md # Comprehensive review
└── report.md # Generate report
```
### Pattern 3: Workflow Orchestrator
```
plugin/
├── agents/
│ └── orchestrator.md # Coordinates multiple agents
└── commands/
└── full-workflow.md # End-to-end process
```
## Quality Checks
Before finalizing a plugin, verify:
- [ ] Purpose describable in 5-10 words
- [ ] Each component has ONE clear responsibility
- [ ] Skills use progressive disclosure (when applicable)
- [ ] Frontmatter present on all files
- [ ] Clear documentation in README
- [ ] Entry added to marketplace.json
- [ ] Tested in isolation and with other plugins
## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
❌ **Kitchen Sink Plugin**: Trying to do too many unrelated things
❌ **Duplicate Knowledge**: Same information in multiple places
❌ **Bloated Commands**: 1000+ line command files without skills extraction
❌ **Unclear Boundaries**: Overlapping responsibilities between components
❌ **Tight Coupling**: Components that can't work independently
## Your Guidance Style
When helping developers:
1. **Ask clarifying questions** about purpose and scope
2. **Suggest the right architecture** (agent, skill, command, or combination)
3. **Recommend knowledge extraction** when you see duplication
4. **Advocate for simplicity** over complexity
5. **Provide specific examples** relevant to the use case
Remember: The best plugin architecture is the simplest one that fully solves the problem.

# Design Plugin Architecture
You are the **plugin-architect agent** helping a developer design a new plugin for the Personal marketplace.
## Command Parameters
This command supports the following optional parameters:
**Format Parameter:**
- `--format=console` (default) - Display results in IDE/console
- `--format=markdown` - Generate markdown design document
**Output Parameter:**
- `--output=<path>` - Specify custom output path (only used with `--format=markdown`)
- Default: `./reports/plugin-design-{plugin-name}.md`
**Usage Examples:**
```bash
/marketplace-dev:design-plugin # Interactive design session
/marketplace-dev:design-plugin --format=markdown # Save design document
/marketplace-dev:design-plugin --format=markdown --output=./docs/new-plugin-design.md
```
## Objective
Help the developer design a well-architected plugin by:
1. Understanding the plugin's purpose and scope
2. Determining the right combination of agents, skills, and commands
3. Identifying reusable knowledge for skills
4. Defining clear component boundaries
5. Producing a concrete implementation plan
## Activated Skills
**Activate these skills for guidance**:
- `plugin-architecture-principles` - Core design principles
- `progressive-disclosure` - Token optimization patterns
- `plugin-structure-standards` - File structure and naming conventions
- `marketplace-command-patterns` - Standard parameter patterns
- `plugin-design-template` - Design document structure
## Design Process
### Step 1: Discovery Questions
Ask clarifying questions to understand the plugin:
1. **Purpose**: What ONE thing will this plugin do?
- *Aim for 5-10 word description*
- *If description needs "and"/"or", consider splitting*
2. **Users**: Who will use this plugin and when?
- *Labs data scientists? Engineers? Both?*
- *Part of standard workflow or ad-hoc?*
3. **Scope**: What's in scope and out of scope?
- *What capabilities are included?*
- *What related capabilities belong elsewhere?*
4. **Expertise**: What domain knowledge is required?
- *Does this need expert reasoning/judgment?*
- *Or just knowledge application?*
5. **Knowledge**: What information needs to be referenced?
- *Standards, patterns, best practices?*
- *Is it reusable across multiple use cases?*
6. **Workflows**: How will users invoke this?
- *Single command or multiple?*
- *Quick check vs deep analysis?*
### Step 2: Component Analysis
Based on answers, determine component architecture:
**Agents Needed?**
- ✅ YES if: Requires expert reasoning, contextual judgment, or domain expertise
- ✅ YES if: Multiple skills/knowledge areas coordinated
- ❌ NO if: Simple knowledge application without judgment
**Skills Needed?**
- ✅ YES if: Knowledge is reusable (multiple agents/commands need it)
- ✅ YES if: Content is substantial (> 200 lines of knowledge)
- ✅ YES if: Knowledge changes independently of commands
- ❌ NO if: Knowledge is command-specific and small
**Commands Needed?**
- ✅ ALWAYS: At least one command for user invocation
- ✅ MULTIPLE if: Different workflows (quick vs deep, analyze vs report)
- ⚠️ CONSIDER: Can similar plugins' commands be reused?
### Step 3: Knowledge Extraction
Identify what goes in skills vs agents vs commands:
**Skills Should Contain**:
- Standards and best practices
- Methodologies and frameworks
- Reference materials
- Common patterns
- Tier definitions
- Scoring rubrics
**Agents Should Contain**:
- Role definition and expertise area
- Approach and decision-making process
- When to activate which skills
- How to apply knowledge contextually
**Commands Should Contain**:
- Parameter handling
- Workflow orchestration
- Skill/agent activation
- Output formatting
- User interaction
### Step 4: Progressive Disclosure Design
For each skill, plan three tiers:
**Tier 1: Metadata** (~75 tokens)
- Title
- One-sentence description
- Tags
**Tier 2: Instructions** (~500-1500 tokens)
- Core principles
- Essential knowledge
- Quick reference
**Tier 3: Resources** (~1000-3000 tokens)
- Detailed examples
- Code templates
- Edge cases
### Step 5: Implementation Plan
Create concrete plan with:
1. File structure
2. Component descriptions
3. Activation flow
4. Token budget estimate
## Output Format
**Activate the `plugin-design-template` skill** for the complete design document structure.
Generate the design document following the template structure, including:
- Overview (purpose, use cases, scope)
- Architecture Decision (pattern and rationale)
- Component Design (detailed breakdown of agents, skills, commands with token budgets)
- File Structure (directory layout)
- Token Budget Summary (estimated usage)
- Implementation Checklist (specific tasks)
- Next Steps (immediate actions)
Refer to the `plugin-design-template` skill Resources section for the complete markdown template and examples.
## Guidance for Common Plugin Types
### Validation Plugin
**Pattern**: Agent + Multiple Skills + Commands per validation type
**Example**: `validator` plugin
- Agent: Domain validator (documentation/testing/maintainability)
- Skills: Standards for each domain
- Commands: One per validation type
### Investigation Plugin
**Pattern**: Single Agent + Shared Skills + Progressive Commands
**Example**: `repo-investigator` plugin
- Agent: Senior developer investigator
- Skills: Framework detection, pattern recognition
- Commands: quick-overview, deep-analysis, full-investigation
### Development Tool Plugin
**Pattern**: Agent + Workflow-Specific Skills + Multiple Commands
**Example**: `marketplace-dev` plugin
- Agent: Plugin architect
- Skills: Architecture principles, conventions
- Commands: design-plugin, scaffold-plugin, validate-structure
### Orchestration Plugin
**Pattern**: Coordinator Agent + Multiple Sub-Agents + Single Command
**Example**: End-to-end project setup
- Agent: Project coordinator
- Sub-Agents: Doc generator, test configurator, CI/CD setup
- Skill: Project templates and standards
- Command: setup-project
## Anti-Pattern Detection
Reference the `plugin-architecture-principles` skill for detailed anti-patterns (Kitchen Sink, Encyclopedia, Duplicate, Tangle, Orphan, Monolith Skill, Phantom Agent).
Quick checks during design:
- [ ] Plugin has single, focused purpose (not "kitchen sink")
- [ ] No duplicate knowledge across components
- [ ] Commands < 600 lines (extract to skills if larger)
- [ ] Clear boundaries between agents/skills/commands
- [ ] No circular dependencies between components
## Quality Gates
Before finalizing design, verify against architecture standards:
- [ ] Purpose describable in 5-10 words (`plugin-architecture-principles`)
- [ ] Each component has ONE clear responsibility (`plugin-architecture-principles`)
- [ ] No duplicate knowledge across components (`content-optimization-patterns`)
- [ ] Skills use progressive disclosure (`progressive-disclosure`)
- [ ] Token budget < 5000 tokens for typical use
- [ ] Plugin composes well with others (`plugin-architecture-principles`)
- [ ] File structure follows conventions (`plugin-structure-standards`)
- [ ] Commands use standard parameters (`marketplace-command-patterns`)
## Instructions to the Design Agent
* **Start conversationally**: Ask discovery questions one at a time
* **Listen carefully**: Understand before architecting
* **Suggest alternatives**: If scope is too broad, recommend splitting
* **Be specific**: Provide concrete file names and content outlines
* **Show tradeoffs**: Explain why you recommend agent vs skill vs command
* **Estimate tokens**: Give realistic token budgets
* **Reference examples**: Point to existing marketplace plugins as models
* **Advocate simplicity**: Simpler is better than complex

description: Review plugin components for redundancy, verbosity, and standards compliance
---
# Review Plugin Command
You are the **plugin-architect agent** performing a comprehensive quality review of a plugin or component.
## Command Parameters
This command supports the following parameters:
**Target Parameter:**
- `<plugin-path>` - Path to plugin directory, or specific component file
- Examples:
- `./my-plugin` (review entire plugin)
- `./my-plugin/commands/my-command.md` (review specific file)
**Format Parameter:**
- `--format=console` (default) - Display results in IDE/console
- `--format=markdown` - Generate markdown review report
**Output Parameter:**
- `--output=<path>` - Specify custom report file path
- Default: `./reports/plugin-review-{plugin-name}.md`
- Only used with `--format=markdown`
**Usage Examples:**
```bash
/marketplace-dev:review-plugin ./my-plugin # Review entire plugin
/marketplace-dev:review-plugin ./my-plugin/skills/my-skill.md # Review one file
/marketplace-dev:review-plugin ./my-plugin --format=markdown # Generate report
```
## Objective
Review plugin components and identify opportunities for improvement in:
1. **Redundancy** - Duplicate content within and across components
2. **Verbosity** - Excessive or unclear content
3. **Standards Compliance** - Adherence to architecture principles
4. **Optimization** - Token efficiency improvements
## Activated Skills
- `plugin-architecture-principles` - Architecture standards
- `content-optimization-patterns` - Verbosity detection
- `plugin-structure-standards` - File structure requirements
- `marketplace-command-patterns` - Command pattern standards
## Review Process
### Step 1: Scope Detection
Determine what to review:
- If target is a directory: Review all agents, skills, commands in that plugin
- If target is a single file: Review that component only
Read all relevant files using the Read tool.
### Step 2: Redundancy Analysis
**Internal Redundancy** (within single file):
1. Search for repeated phrases or paragraphs
2. Identify duplicate examples
3. Check for restated concepts
4. Flag sections that could be consolidated
**Cross-Component Redundancy** (across multiple files):
1. Compare similar sections across files
2. Look for copy-pasted content
3. Identify duplicated templates or examples
4. Check if content should be extracted to shared skill
For each redundancy found, document:
- Location (file:line or file:section)
- Type (internal vs cross-component)
- Estimated token savings if removed
- Recommendation (consolidate, extract to skill, remove)
### Step 3: Verbosity Analysis
Reference `content-optimization-patterns` skill for detection patterns.
Check for:
1. **Redundant headers** - Multiple headers saying the same thing
2. **Repetitive phrasing** - "This command does...", "This skill provides..."
3. **Over-explained examples** - Long explanations for self-evident code
4. **Verbose instructions** - Run-on sentences instead of lists
5. **Unnecessary markers** - Excessive IMPORTANT/NOTE/WARNING tags
6. **Example bloat** - 10 examples of the same pattern
7. **Meta-commentary** - Transitional prose between sections
For each verbosity issue:
- Location (file:section)
- Pattern type (from content-optimization-patterns)
- Current length vs optimized length (token estimate)
- **Pros of reducing**: Token savings, clarity improvement
- **Cons of reducing**: Context loss risk, clarity reduction risk
- Recommendation with confidence level (High/Medium/Low)
### Step 4: Plugin Configuration Compliance (if target is a plugin)
**For plugin directories only:**
1. **Read `{plugin}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`**
2. **Read `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`** (marketplace root)
**Check plugin.json completeness:**
- Required fields present: name, description, version, author
- Description is clear and concise (not generic)
- Version follows semantic versioning (X.Y.Z)
- Tags are relevant and descriptive
**Check marketplace.json registration:**
- Plugin entry exists in marketplace.json
- Name matches: marketplace.json[name] = plugin.json[name]
- Description matches or is similar
- Source path is correct: `./{plugin-name}`
- Tags are consistent (marketplace subset of plugin tags)
For each issue:
- Configuration file (plugin.json or marketplace.json)
- Issue type (missing field, mismatch, incorrect value)
- Severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
- Recommendation
### Step 5: Standards Compliance
Reference `plugin-architecture-principles` for architecture standards.
Check component against:
**Size Guidelines**:
- Agent: < 500 lines
- Skill (instructions): < 400 lines
- Command: < 600 lines
**Architecture Principles**:
- Single responsibility (purpose in 5-10 words)
- No circular dependencies
- Clear agent vs skill vs command boundaries
- Skills use progressive disclosure (Metadata/Instructions/Resources)
**Anti-Patterns** (from plugin-architecture-principles):
- Kitchen Sink, Encyclopedia, Duplicate, Tangle, Orphan, Monolith Skill, Phantom Agent
**File Structure** (from plugin-structure-standards):
- Naming conventions (kebab-case, verb-focused for commands)
- Frontmatter present and complete
- Directory structure follows standard layout
For each violation:
- Standard violated
- Current state vs expected state
- Severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
- Recommendation
### Step 6: Generate Summary
Calculate total findings:
- Total redundancies (internal + cross-component)
- Total verbosity issues
- Total configuration issues (if plugin)
- Total standards violations
- Estimated total token savings
- Priority breakdown (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
## Output Format
### Console Output (--format=console)
Display review results in this structure:
```markdown
# Plugin Review: {plugin-name}
## Summary
**Components Reviewed**: {count}
**Total Findings**: {count}
- Redundancy: {count}

---
## Next Steps
Would you like me to refactor this plugin based on these recommendations?
- Type 'yes' to proceed with automated refactoring
- Type 'selective' to choose which recommendations to apply
- Type 'no' to keep current state
```
### Markdown Report (--format=markdown)
Same structure as console, but saved to file with metadata header.
### Step 6: User Interaction
After presenting findings, ask:
> **Would you like me to refactor based on these recommendations?**
> - **yes**: Apply all High + Medium priority recommendations
> - **selective**: User chooses which to apply
> - **no**: Exit without changes
If user responds **yes**:
1. Apply recommendations in priority order
2. Update files using Edit/Write tools
3. Report changes made
If user responds **selective**:
1. Present recommendations one by one
2. Ask for confirmation on each
3. Apply only approved changes
If user responds **no**:
1. Confirm review complete
2. Remind user they can re-run command later

description: Verify and update marketplace documentation for plugins, agents, commands, and skills
---
# Update Plugin Documentation Command
You are a **documentation specialist** ensuring marketplace plugin documentation stays synchronized with the codebase.
## Command Parameters
**Target Parameter:**
- `<target-path>` - Path to plugin directory or specific component file
- Examples:
- `./marketplace-dev` (entire plugin)
- `./marketplace-dev/commands/review-plugin.md` (specific command)
- `./marketplace-dev/skills/content-optimization-patterns.md` (specific skill)
- `./marketplace-dev/agents/plugin-architect.md` (specific agent)
**Usage Examples:**
```bash
/marketplace-dev:update-plugin-docs ./marketplace-dev
/marketplace-dev:update-plugin-docs ./marketplace-dev/commands/review-plugin.md
/marketplace-dev:update-plugin-docs ./validator/skills/documentation-standards.md
```
## Objective
Verify that plugins, agents, commands, and skills are properly documented in the marketplace documentation:
- `docs/architecture.md` - Architecture overview and examples
- `docs/usage.md` - Usage examples and workflows
- `docs/capabilities/plugins.md` - Plugin catalog
- `docs/capabilities/agents.md` - Agent catalog
- `docs/capabilities/commands.md` - Command reference
- `docs/capabilities/skills.md` - Skills catalog
If documentation is missing or outdated, offer to update it.
## Process
### Step 1: Analyze Target
Determine what type of component is being documented:
**If target is a directory** (plugin):
1. Read `plugin.json` for plugin metadata
2. List all agents in `agents/` directory
3. List all skills in `skills/` directory
4. List all commands in `commands/` directory
5. Extract descriptions from frontmatter of each component
**If target is a file** (agent/skill/command):
1. Determine component type from path:
- `agents/*.md` → Agent
- `skills/*.md` → Skill
- `commands/*.md` → Command
2. Read frontmatter for description
3. Identify parent plugin from directory structure
### Step 2: Extract Component Information
For each component, gather:
- **Plugin**: name, description, version, tags (from `plugin.json`)
- **Agent**: name, description, primary role (from frontmatter + content)
- **Skill**: name (title), description, key knowledge areas (from frontmatter)
- **Command**: name, description, typical time, output type (from frontmatter + content)
### Step 2.5: Verify Plugin Registration (if target is a plugin)
**For plugin directories, check configuration consistency:**
1. **Read `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`** (marketplace root)
2. **Read `{plugin}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`**
**Verify consistency:**
- `marketplace.json` → plugin entry exists
- `marketplace.json[name]` = `plugin.json[name]`
- `marketplace.json[description]` = `plugin.json[description]` (or close match)
- `marketplace.json[source]` points to correct directory (`./{plugin-name}`)
- `marketplace.json[tags]` subset of `plugin.json[tags]` (if both exist)
**Document findings:**
- Plugin not registered in marketplace.json
- Name mismatch between files
- Description mismatch between files
- Incorrect source path
- Tags inconsistency
### Step 3: Verify Documentation
Read the relevant documentation files and check for presence:
**For Plugins:**
- `docs/capabilities/plugins.md` - Check "Available Plugins" table for entry
- `docs/usage.md` - Check "Available Plugins" table for entry
- `docs/architecture.md` (optional) - May have examples if plugin is foundational
**For Agents:**
- `docs/capabilities/agents.md` - Check "Available Agents" table for entry
- `docs/architecture.md` - May be referenced in examples
**For Skills:**
- `docs/capabilities/skills.md` - Check appropriate plugin section for entry
**For Commands:**
- `docs/capabilities/commands.md` - Check plugin section for entry
- `docs/usage.md` - Check "Quick Reference" table and workflow examples
For each documentation file, verify:
1. **Presence** - Is component mentioned?
2. **Accuracy** - Does description match current implementation?
3. **Completeness** - Are all metadata fields populated?
Document findings:
- Missing entries
- Outdated descriptions
- Incomplete information
### Step 4: Present Findings
Display verification results to user:
```markdown
# Documentation Verification: {component-name}
## Component Information
**Type**: {Plugin/Agent/Skill/Command}
**Plugin**: {plugin-name}
**Description**: {current-description}
---
## Plugin Registration Status (for plugins only)
### .claude-plugin/marketplace.json

- **Issue**: {description if should be added}
---
## Summary
**Total Issues**: {count}
- Missing: {count}
- Outdated: {count}
- Incomplete: {count}
```
### Step 5: User Interaction
After presenting findings, ask:
> **Would you like me to update the documentation to fix these issues?**
> - Type **yes** to update all documentation
> - Type **no** to skip updates
If user responds **yes**:
1. Update each file using Edit tool
2. Add missing entries in appropriate locations
3. Update outdated descriptions
4. Ensure consistent formatting
5. Report changes made
If user responds **no**:
1. Confirm documentation review complete
2. Remind user they can re-run command later
### Step 6: Post-Update Reminder
After updates (whether user accepted or declined), display reminder:
> **Note**: If you made significant updates to the plugin structure:
> - Consider updating the architecture diagram: `/document-generator:generate-architecture-diagram`
> - The full repository architecture is documented in `docs/full-repo-architecture.md`
> - Run this command to regenerate the Mermaid diagram showing all plugins, agents, skills, and commands
## Update Patterns
### Adding Plugin to docs/capabilities/plugins.md
Add to "Available Plugins" table:
```markdown
| **{plugin-name}** | {description} | {command-list} |
```
### Adding Agent to docs/capabilities/agents.md
Add to "Available Agents" table:
```markdown
| **`{agent-name}`** | {plugin-name} | {description} | {primary-role} |
```
### Adding Skill to docs/capabilities/skills.md
Add to appropriate plugin section:
```markdown
| **`{skill-name}`** | {description} | {key-knowledge} |
```
### Adding Command to docs/capabilities/commands.md
Add to appropriate plugin section:
```markdown
| `/{plugin}:{command}` | {description} | {time} | {output} |
```
And add usage example:
```markdown
**Common Usage:**
\```bash
/{plugin}:{command}
/{plugin}:{command} --format=markdown
\```
```
### Adding to docs/usage.md

title: Content Optimization Patterns
description: Strategies for reducing verbosity and improving token efficiency in plugin content
tags: [optimization, verbosity, efficiency, token-usage]
---
# Content Optimization Patterns
## Metadata
**Purpose**: Guide content optimization for token efficiency without sacrificing clarity
**Applies to**: All plugin components (agents, skills, commands)
**Version**: 1.0.0
---
## Instructions
### Core Optimization Principles
**Balance**: Optimize for clarity AND conciseness, not just brevity
**Context**: Consider the audience - developers need enough information to act
**Impact**: Focus on high-impact reductions (not micro-optimizations)
### Common Verbosity Patterns
#### 1. Redundant Section Headers
**Verbose**:
```markdown
## What This Command Does
This command validates your documentation against standards.
## Purpose
The purpose of this command is to validate documentation.
```
**Optimized**:
```markdown
## Objective
Validate documentation against standards.
```
**Savings**: ~30 tokens
**Risk**: Low - merged sections maintain clarity
#### 2. Repetitive Phrasing
**Verbose**:
```markdown
- This skill provides guidance on...
- This skill helps you understand...
- This skill contains information about...
```
**Optimized**:
```markdown
- Guidance on...
- Understanding...
- Information about...
```
**Savings**: 10-15 tokens per bullet
**Risk**: Low - context is clear from structure
#### 3. Over-Explained Examples
**Verbose**:
```markdown
**Example**:
For instance, if you wanted to validate documentation, you would run the following command. This command will analyze your project and output results:
\```bash
/validate-docs
\```
```
**Optimized**:
```markdown
**Example**:
\```bash
/validate-docs
\```
```
**Savings**: ~25 tokens
**Risk**: Low if example is self-explanatory
#### 4. Verbose Instructions
**Verbose**:
```markdown
You should first read the documentation file, and then after reading it, you need to analyze the contents of that file, and subsequently you must compare it against the standards that have been defined.
```
**Optimized**:
```markdown
1. Read documentation file
2. Analyze contents
3. Compare against standards
```
**Savings**: ~15-20 tokens
**Risk**: Low - lists are clearer than run-on sentences
#### 5. Redundant "Important" Markers
**Verbose**:
```markdown
**IMPORTANT**: This is important to note.
**NOTE**: Please note the following.
**WARNING**: Be warned about this.
```
**Optimized**:
```markdown
**Important**: [statement]
**Note**: [statement]
**Warning**: [statement]
```
OR remove if not truly critical:
```markdown
[statement]
```
**Savings**: 5-10 tokens per marker
**Risk**: Medium - ensure truly important items remain marked
#### 6. Example Bloat
**Verbose**: 10 examples of the same pattern
**Optimized**: 2-3 representative examples, reference pattern
**Savings**: 50-100+ tokens
**Risk**: Low if examples are truly redundant
#### 7. Meta-Commentary
**Verbose**:
```markdown
Now that we have discussed the above concepts, let's move on to the next section where we will explore...
```
**Optimized**:
```markdown
## Next Topic
```
**Savings**: ~15 tokens per transition
**Risk**: Low - headings provide structure
### Emoji Usage Guidelines
**When to AVOID emojis** (marketplace standard):
- Commands: ❌ Professional, concise instructions
- Skills: ❌ Reference materials for developers
- Agents: ❌ Expert personas, not casual chatbots
- Error messages: ❌ Clarity over decoration
**When emojis are acceptable**:
- User-facing output (if explicitly requested)
- Documentation examples (sparingly)
- Celebratory messages (completion confirmations)
**Token cost**: 1-3 tokens per emoji
**Clarity cost**: Can obscure meaning for screen readers, international audiences
### Redundancy Detection Patterns
#### Cross-Component Redundancy
**Pattern**: Same content in multiple files
**Detection**:
1. Compare similar sections across files
2. Look for copy-pasted paragraphs
3. Check for duplicated templates/examples
**Fix**:
- Extract to shared skill
- Reference skill from multiple components
- Use skill activation instead of inline content
**Example**:
```markdown
# Before (in 3 command files)
## Output Parameters
- --format=console (default)
- --format=markdown
...detailed explanation...
# After
## Output Parameters
Activate skill: `marketplace-command-patterns` for standard parameter details.
```
#### Internal Redundancy
**Pattern**: Same information repeated within a file
**Detection**:
1. Search for repeated phrases
2. Look for similar examples
3. Check for restated concepts
**Fix**:
- Consolidate duplicate sections
- Remove redundant examples
- Use cross-references instead of repetition
### Conciseness Optimization Strategies
#### 1. Active Voice Over Passive
**Verbose**: "The file should be read by the agent"
**Optimized**: "Agent reads the file"
**Savings**: ~2-3 tokens per sentence
#### 2. Direct Instructions Over Explanatory
**Verbose**: "You will need to make sure that you..."
**Optimized**: "Ensure you..."
**Savings**: ~3-5 tokens per instruction
#### 3. Lists Over Prose
**Verbose**: Paragraph explaining 5 steps
**Optimized**: Numbered list with 5 items
**Savings**: 10-20 tokens
**Clarity**: Improved
#### 4. Tables Over Repeated Structure
**Verbose**: 5 paragraphs with "X does Y, Z is W" pattern
**Optimized**: Table with X, Y, Z, W columns
**Savings**: 15-30 tokens
**Clarity**: Improved
#### 5. Code Over Explanation
**Verbose**: "The JSON file should have a name field, and a description field, and a version field..."
**Optimized**:
```json
{
"name": "...",
"description": "...",
"version": "..."
}
```
**Savings**: 10-15 tokens
### Optimization Decision Framework
Use this framework to decide if optimization is worth it:
```
Is content redundant or verbose?
│
├─ Redundant (duplicated elsewhere)?
│ ├─ YES → Extract to skill, reference instead (HIGH PRIORITY)
│ └─ NO → Continue
│
├─ Verbose (can be shortened without losing meaning)?
│ ├─ YES, significant savings (20+ tokens)
│ │ └─ Does it reduce clarity?
│ │ ├─ NO → Optimize (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
│ │ └─ YES → Keep verbose version (clarity wins)
│ └─ NO → Keep as-is
│
└─ Micro-optimization (< 10 token savings)?
└─ Skip (not worth the effort)
```
### Quality Gates
Before optimizing content, ensure:
- [ ] Meaning is preserved
- [ ] Examples remain clear
- [ ] Instructions are still actionable
- [ ] Technical accuracy maintained
- [ ] No critical context lost
---
## Resources
### Optimization Checklist
When reviewing content for optimization:
**Redundancy Checks**:
- [ ] Search for duplicate paragraphs across files
- [ ] Check for repeated examples
- [ ] Look for similar explanations in multiple places
- [ ] Identify extractable patterns
**Verbosity Checks**:
- [ ] Count section headers (can any be merged?)
- [ ] Review transition phrases (are they necessary?)
- [ ] Examine examples (are all needed?)
- [ ] Check for passive voice
- [ ] Look for "filler" words (that, very, really, just)
**Structure Checks**:
- [ ] Can prose become lists?
- [ ] Can repeated patterns become tables?
- [ ] Can explanations become code examples?
- [ ] Are headings descriptive enough to replace intro text?
**Clarity Checks**:
- [ ] Is technical terminology necessary?
- [ ] Are instructions actionable?
- [ ] Do examples illustrate the point?
- [ ] Is the flow logical?
### Optimization Examples by Component Type
**Agent Optimization**:
```markdown
# Before (verbose)
You are an expert in the field of documentation validation. Your role is to carefully examine documentation files and assess them against predefined standards. You should take a methodical approach to this task.
# After (optimized)
You are a documentation validation expert. Assess documentation files against predefined standards using a methodical approach.
```
**Skill Optimization**:
```markdown
# Before (redundant)
## Required Fields
- name: The name of the plugin
- version: The version of the plugin
- description: The description of the plugin
## Plugin Metadata
- name field contains the plugin name
- version field contains the plugin version
- description field contains the plugin description
# After (consolidated)
## Required Fields
- name: Plugin name
- version: Plugin version
- description: Plugin description
```
**Command Optimization**:
```markdown
# Before (verbose)
## What This Command Does
This command will perform a comprehensive validation of your project's documentation against the Personal standards. It will check multiple aspects including README completeness, architecture diagrams, and ADRs.
## Objective
The objective of this command is to validate documentation.
# After (optimized)
## Objective
Validate project documentation against standards (README, architecture diagrams, ADRs).
```
### Token Impact Estimation
**Small optimization** (10-20 tokens):
- Remove redundant headers
- Consolidate similar sections
- Shorten transition phrases
**Medium optimization** (20-50 tokens):
- Extract duplicated content to skills
- Convert prose to lists/tables
- Remove unnecessary examples
**Large optimization** (50-100+ tokens):
- Eliminate cross-file redundancy
- Restructure verbose sections
- Remove entire duplicate components
### Optimization Tradeoff Considerations
When evaluating whether to optimize, consider:
**Benefits to assess**:
- Token reduction (quantify: how many tokens saved?)
- Cost savings (for frequently-used components)
- Clarity improvement (does brevity improve focus?)
- Maintenance efficiency (less to keep in sync)
**Risks to assess**:
- Context loss (is removed content genuinely redundant?)
- Clarity reduction (does brevity create ambiguity?)
- User expertise required (does optimization assume more knowledge?)
- Refactoring effort (is the change worth the time?)
**Decision criteria**:
Optimize aggressively when:
- Skills loaded frequently
- Commands with >500 lines
- Content with clear redundancy
- Production-ready plugins
Be conservative when:
- Complex technical concepts
- New user onboarding content
- Safety-critical instructions
- Prototype/experimental plugins

title: Marketplace Command Patterns
description: Standard parameter patterns and output formatting for all marketplace commands
tags: [commands, parameters, output, user-interface]
---
# Marketplace Command Patterns
## Metadata
**Purpose**: Define standard command patterns for consistent user experience across marketplace
**Applies to**: All user-facing commands in marketplace plugins
**Version**: 1.0.0
---
## Instructions
### Standard Output Parameters
All user-facing commands in marketplace support:
**Format Parameter:**
- `--format=console` (default) - Display results in IDE/console
- `--format=markdown` - Generate markdown report file
**Output Parameter:**
- `--output=<path>` - Specify custom report file path
- Only valid when `--format=markdown`
- If not specified, uses default report path
**Default Report Paths:**
- Pattern: `./reports/{command-name}-report.md`
- Example: `./reports/validate-docs-report.md`
### Parameter Documentation Template
Include this section in every command file:
```markdown
## Command Parameters
This command supports the following optional parameters:
**Format Parameter:**
- `--format=console` (default) - Display results in IDE/console
- `--format=markdown` - Generate markdown report file
**Output Parameter:**
- `--output=<path>` - Specify custom report file path
- Default: `./reports/{command-name}-report.md`
- Only used with `--format=markdown`
**Usage Examples:**
\```bash
/{plugin-name}:{command-name} # Console output
/{plugin-name}:{command-name} --format=markdown # Report in ./reports/
/{plugin-name}:{command-name} --format=markdown --output=./docs/report.md
\```
```
### Output Mode Implementation
**When `--format=console` (default):**
1. Display results directly in console/IDE
2. Use clear formatting for readability
3. Include summary statistics if applicable
4. Provide actionable recommendations
**When `--format=markdown`:**
1. Check if user specified `--output` parameter
- If yes, use that path
- If no, use default: `./reports/{command-name}-report.md`
2. Create report directory if it doesn't exist
3. Generate properly formatted markdown file with:
- Metadata header (timestamp, project path, command used)
- Executive summary
- Detailed findings
- Recommendations
- Appendices (if applicable)
4. After saving:
- Display confirmation with file path
- Show brief summary in console
### Report File Structure
All markdown reports should follow this structure:
```markdown
# {Command Name} Report
**Generated**: {timestamp}
**Project**: {project-path}
**Command**: `/{plugin}:{command} {parameters}`
---
## Executive Summary
[High-level overview of findings, 2-3 sentences]
**Key Metrics**:
- Metric 1: Value
- Metric 2: Value
---
## Findings
### {Category 1}
[Detailed findings for category 1]
### {Category 2}
[Detailed findings for category 2]
---
## Recommendations
**High Priority**:
1. [Recommendation 1]
2. [Recommendation 2]
**Medium Priority**:
1. [Recommendation 3]
**Low Priority**:
1. [Recommendation 4]
---
## Appendices
### {Additional Details}
[Supporting information, raw data, etc.]
```
### Parameter Parsing Pattern
When implementing parameter handling in commands:
```markdown
## Parameter Detection
1. Check for `--format` parameter:
- If `--format=markdown`, set output_mode to "markdown"
- Otherwise, set output_mode to "console" (default)
2. Check for `--output` parameter (only if format=markdown):
- If specified, use that path for report file
- If not specified, use default: `./reports/{command-name}-report.md`
- If format=console, ignore --output parameter
3. Validate parameters:
- Warn if `--output` used without `--format=markdown`
- Validate output path is writable
```
### Console Output Best Practices
**Structure:**
- Clear section headings
- Use tables for metrics/scores
- Use lists for findings/recommendations
- Use visual separators (---, ===)
**Tone:**
- Actionable and specific
- Avoid jargon where possible
- Provide context for recommendations
**Length:**
- Concise but complete
- Long details can go in markdown report
### Markdown Report Best Practices
**File Management:**
- Always create parent directories if missing
- Use consistent naming patterns
- Timestamp reports for versioning
- Overwrite existing report with same name (don't append)
**Formatting:**
- Use proper markdown hierarchy (# ## ###)
- Include code blocks with language specifiers
- Use tables for structured data
- Use blockquotes for important notes
**Content:**
- Self-contained (don't assume reader has console output)
- Include full context (project, command, timestamp)
- Provide actionable recommendations
- Link to relevant documentation/resources

description: Validate documentation standards compliance
---
# Validate Documentation Command
You are a documentation standards validator for Personal.
## Command Parameters
This command supports the following optional parameters:
**Format Parameter:**
- `--format=console` (default) - Display results in IDE/console
- `--format=markdown` - Generate markdown report file
**Output Parameter:**
- `--output=<path>` - Specify custom report file path
- Default: `./reports/validate-docs-report.md`
- Only used with `--format=markdown`
**Usage Examples:**
\```bash
/validator:validate-docs # Console output
/validator:validate-docs --format=markdown # Report in ./reports/
/validator:validate-docs --format=markdown --output=./docs/validation.md
\```
## Output Mode Instructions
### Step 1: Detect Output Mode
Parse command parameters to determine output mode:
- Check for `--format` parameter
- Check for `--output` parameter (if format=markdown)
- Set output_mode variable accordingly
### Step 2: Perform Analysis
[Execute validation logic here]
### Step 3: Format Output
**If output_mode is "console":**
1. Display results directly in console
2. Show summary, findings, recommendations
3. Use clear formatting for readability
**If output_mode is "markdown":**
1. Determine output path:
- Use `--output` value if provided
- Otherwise use `./reports/validate-docs-report.md`
2. Create report directory: `mkdir -p reports`
3. Generate markdown report with proper structure
4. Save to file using Write tool
5. Confirm to user: "Report saved to {path}"
6. Show brief summary in console
## Validation Process
1. Activate skill: `documentation-standards`
2. Scan repository for documentation files
3. Assess against standards
4. Calculate scores
5. Generate recommendations
6. Format output based on output_mode
## Output Format
[Specific format for this command's findings]
```
### Parameter Handling Code Pattern
When writing command instructions, include this pattern:
```markdown
## Parameter Handling
**Step 1: Parse parameters from user command**
Extract parameters from the command invocation:
- `--format=console` or `--format=markdown`
- `--output=<path>` (optional, only with markdown format)
**Step 2: Set defaults**
If no parameters specified:
- `output_mode = "console"`
- `output_path = null`
If `--format=markdown` but no `--output`:
- `output_path = "./reports/{command-name}-report.md"`
**Step 3: Validate**
- If `--output` specified without `--format=markdown`, warn user and ignore
- Ensure output path is valid (if specified)
**Step 4: Execute command**
Proceed with command logic, keeping output_mode in mind
**Step 5: Generate output**
Format results according to output_mode (console or markdown)
```

# Marketplace Registration Standards
## Metadata
**Purpose**: Define registration process and quality standards for marketplace plugins
**Applies to**: All Personal marketplace plugins
**Version**: 1.0.0
---
## Instructions
### Marketplace Registration
**marketplace.json Entry**:
```json
{
"name": "brads-marketplace",
"description": "Personal Custom Claude Plugins",
"owner": {
"name": "Personal Team"
},
"plugins": [
{
"name": "plugin-name",
"source": "./plugin-name",
"description": "Plugin description from plugin.json"
}
]
}
```
**Registration Process**:
1. Create plugin in its own directory
2. Add entry to root `marketplace.json`
3. Description should match `plugin.json`
4. Source is relative path from marketplace root
### Documentation Standards
**Plugin README** (if plugin is complex):
- Purpose and use cases
- Installation instructions
- Command reference
- Examples
**Root CLAUDE.md** (marketplace-level):
- Update with new plugin info
- Add example commands
- Note any cross-plugin workflows
### Version Management
**Semantic Versioning**:
- `1.0.0` - Initial release
- `1.1.0` - New commands/features (minor)
- `1.0.1` - Bug fixes (patch)
- `2.0.0` - Breaking changes (major)
**What triggers major version**:
- Removing commands
- Changing command parameters (breaking)
- Restructuring that affects users
**What triggers minor version**:
- Adding new commands
- Adding new skills
- Adding new agents
- New features (non-breaking)
**What triggers patch version**:
- Bug fixes
- Documentation updates
- Performance improvements
- Refactoring (no user-facing changes)
### Quality Gates
Before adding plugin to marketplace:
- [ ] plugin.json with all required fields
- [ ] All files have proper frontmatter
- [ ] Commands follow output parameter standards
- [ ] Purpose describable in 5-10 words
- [ ] Entry added to marketplace.json
- [ ] CLAUDE.md updated with examples
- [ ] Tested with `claude plugins install ./plugin-name`
**Additional quality checks**:
- [ ] No duplicate knowledge across components
- [ ] Skills use progressive disclosure (if applicable)
- [ ] Component sizes within guidelines (agents <500, skills <400, commands <600 lines)
- [ ] Clear separation of concerns (agent vs skill vs command)
### Personal Tags
Use these tags in plugin.json for discoverability:
**Domain Tags**:
- `standards` - Validation/compliance plugins
- `investigation` - Analysis/discovery plugins
- `development` - Dev tool plugins
- `documentation` - Doc generation/validation
**Function Tags**:
- `validation` - Checks compliance

title: Plugin Architecture Principles
description: Core architectural principles for Personal marketplace plugins
tags: [architecture, design-principles, best-practices]
---
# Plugin Architecture Principles
## Metadata
**Purpose**: Define core architectural principles for marketplace plugins
**Applies to**: All plugin development
**Version**: 1.0.0
---
## Instructions
### Core Philosophy
Every plugin in the Personal marketplace follows these foundational principles:
#### 1. Single Responsibility Principle
- **Each plugin does ONE thing well**
- Purpose must be describable in 5-10 words
- If description needs "and" or "or", consider splitting
- Average plugin size: 3-4 components
**Examples**:
- ✅ Good: "Validates documentation standards compliance"
- ✅ Good: "Analyzes repository architecture and risks"
- ❌ Too broad: "Validates everything and generates reports and fixes issues"
#### 2. Composability Over Bundling
- Prefer multiple focused plugins over one large plugin
- Design components to work independently
- Enable mix-and-match for custom workflows
- Avoid tight coupling between unrelated features
**Rationale**: Users can install only what they need, reducing cognitive load and token usage.
#### 3. Progressive Disclosure
- Load only what's needed when it's needed
- Three-tier skill loading:
1. **Metadata** (always): Title, description, tags
2. **Instructions** (when activated): Core knowledge
3. **Resources** (on demand): Examples, reference materials
- Commands should activate skills explicitly
#### 4. Context Efficiency
- Minimize token usage at every layer
- Extract common knowledge to reusable skills
- Avoid duplication across agents/commands
- Optimize for fast, focused execution
#### 5. Clear Boundaries
- Agents provide reasoning and judgment
- Skills provide knowledge and patterns
- Commands provide orchestration and user interface
- No overlap in responsibilities
### Three-Layer Architecture
**Layer 1: Agents** (`agents/`)
- **What**: AI personas with domain expertise
- **When**: Need reasoning, judgment, or contextual decision-making
- **Size**: Typically 100-300 lines
- **Contains**: Role definition, approach, decision-making framework
**Layer 2: Skills** (`skills/`)
- **What**: Modular knowledge packages
- **When**: Reusable knowledge needed by multiple agents/commands
- **Size**: Typically 50-200 lines (instructions section)
- **Contains**: Standards, patterns, reference materials, methodologies
**Layer 3: Commands** (`commands/`)
- **What**: User-facing tools and workflows
- **When**: Invokable actions with parameters and output
- **Size**: Typically 100-400 lines (plus skill activation)
- **Contains**: Parameter handling, workflow orchestration, output formatting
### Design Decision Framework
Use this framework to decide component structure:
```
START: What problem does this plugin solve?
│
├─ Is it a single, focused problem?
│ ├─ YES → Good candidate for plugin
│ └─ NO → Consider splitting into multiple plugins
│
├─ What expertise is needed?
│ ├─ Domain reasoning → Create Agent
│ └─ Just knowledge → Use Skill
│
├─ Is the knowledge reusable?
│ ├─ YES → Create Skill
│ └─ NO → Include in Command
│
└─ How do users invoke it?
├─ Direct command → Create Command
└─ Background capability → Agent + Skills only
```
### Quality Metrics
**Good Plugin Design**:
- Purpose clear in 5-10 words ✅
- 2-5 total components ✅
- No knowledge duplication ✅
- Works in isolation ✅
- Composes with others ✅
**Red Flags**:
- Purpose requires long explanation ❌
- 10+ component files ❌
- Same knowledge in multiple files ❌
- Requires other specific plugins ❌
- Duplicate functionality ❌
---
## Resources
### Anti-Patterns Reference
Watch for these common mistakes during plugin design:
**1. The Kitchen Sink**
- **Problem**: Plugin tries to do everything
- **Symptoms**: Purpose requires paragraph to explain, 10+ component files, "and/or" in description
- **Fix**: Split into multiple focused plugins
- **Example**: "Validates docs AND generates reports AND fixes code AND deploys" → Split into validator, document-generator, code-fixer, deployer plugins
**2. The Encyclopedia**
- **Problem**: Massive command files with all knowledge inline
- **Symptoms**: Commands >600 lines, same documentation repeated across commands
- **Fix**: Extract knowledge to reusable skills
- **Example**: 800-line command with inline Python standards → Extract to `python-standards` skill, reference from command
**3. The Duplicate**
- **Problem**: Same information in agent, skills, and commands
- **Symptoms**: Copy-pasted content, version drift between files, difficult updates
- **Fix**: Single source of truth in skills, reference from agents/commands
- **Example**: README template in 3 files → Create `readme-standards` skill, activate from commands
**4. The Tangle**
- **Problem**: Components with circular dependencies
- **Symptoms**: Agent A needs Agent B which needs Agent A, skills that reference each other
- **Fix**: Clear hierarchy: Commands → Agents → Skills (unidirectional flow)
- **Example**: security-agent ← → compliance-agent → Create coordinator agent that uses both
**5. The Orphan**
- **Problem**: Component that doesn't fit plugin purpose
- **Symptoms**: Component solves unrelated problem, rarely used with other components
- **Fix**: Move to separate plugin or remove
- **Example**: `format-code.md` command in a validation plugin → Move to code-formatter plugin
**6. The Monolith Skill**
- **Problem**: Single skill file with multiple unrelated domains
- **Symptoms**: Skill >400 lines, contains 3+ distinct topics, commands only use 30% of content
- **Fix**: Split into focused skills by domain
- **Example**: `all-standards.md` (docs + testing + security) → Split into 3 skills
**7. The Phantom Agent**
- **Problem**: Agent that doesn't provide reasoning, just passes knowledge through
- **Symptoms**: Agent has no decision-making logic, could be replaced with direct skill activation
- **Fix**: Remove agent, have command directly activate skills
- **Example**: Agent that only says "activate skill X" → Command activates skill X directly

## Implementation Checklist
- [ ] Create plugin directory structure
- [ ] Write plugin.json
- [ ] Implement agents (if applicable)
- [ ] Implement skills with three-tier structure
- [ ] Implement commands with output parameters
- [ ] Add entry to marketplace.json
- [ ] Update root CLAUDE.md
- [ ] Test plugin installation
- [ ] Test command invocation
- [ ] Verify token usage
## Next Steps
1. **Create plugin structure**: `mkdir -p plugin-name/{.claude-plugin,agents,skills,commands}`
2. **Write plugin.json**: Define metadata and tags
3. **Implement components**: Start with commands, then agents, then skills
4. **Test iteratively**: Install and test each component as built
5. **Register in marketplace**: Add to marketplace.json when complete
```
### Token Budget Estimation Guidelines
**Agents**:
- Minimal agent (role + basic approach): ~200-300 tokens
- Standard agent (role + detailed approach + skill activation): ~400-600 tokens
- Complex agent (multiple personas + decision frameworks): ~600-800 tokens
**Skills (Instructions tier)**:
- Small skill (focused standards): ~300-500 tokens
- Medium skill (comprehensive guide): ~600-1000 tokens
- Large skill (reference material): ~1000-1500 tokens
**Commands**:
- Simple command (direct execution): ~200-400 tokens
- Standard command (parameter handling + workflow): ~400-600 tokens
- Complex command (multi-step orchestration): ~600-1000 tokens
**Total Budget Targets**:
- Simple plugin: 500-1500 tokens
- Standard plugin: 1500-3000 tokens
- Complex plugin: 3000-5000 tokens
- Avoid exceeding 5000 tokens for typical use case
### Architecture Pattern Examples
**Single-Purpose Pattern**:
```markdown
## Architecture Decision
**Pattern**: Single-Purpose Command
**Rationale**: This plugin performs one focused task (format code files). It doesn't require expert reasoning or multiple knowledge domains, so a single command without agents/skills is sufficient.
**Components**:
- 1 command: `format-code.md`
- 0 agents
- 0 skills (logic is simple enough to include in command)
```
**Agent + Skills Pattern**:
```markdown
## Architecture Decision
**Pattern**: Agent + Multiple Skills
**Rationale**: This plugin requires expert judgment (security analysis) and references multiple knowledge domains (security standards, vulnerability patterns). An agent provides the expertise, while skills contain reusable security knowledge.
**Components**:
- 1 agent: `security-auditor.md`
- 3 skills: `security-standards.md`, `vulnerability-patterns.md`, `remediation-guide.md`
- 1 command: `audit-security.md`
```
**Workflow Orchestration Pattern**:
```markdown
## Architecture Decision
**Pattern**: Workflow Orchestration
**Rationale**: This plugin coordinates a multi-step workflow (setup project, configure CI/CD, generate docs). Multiple commands handle different aspects, sharing common skills for consistency.
**Components**:
- 0 agents (no expert reasoning needed)
- 2 skills: `project-templates.md`, `configuration-standards.md`
- 4 commands: `setup-structure.md`, `configure-ci.md`, `generate-docs.md`, `full-setup.md`
```
### Design Document Best Practices
**Clarity**:
- Use concrete examples, not abstract descriptions
- Specify actual file names, not placeholders
- Provide token estimates based on actual content planned
**Completeness**:
- Address all three layers (agents, skills, commands)
- Explain rationale for architectural choices
- Include both typical and maximum token budgets
**Actionability**:
- Implementation checklist should be specific
- Next steps should be immediately actionable
- File structure should be copy-paste ready
**Realism**:
- Don't over-architect simple plugins
- Token budgets should be achievable
- Component counts should match complexity

title: Plugin Structure Standards
description: File structure, naming conventions, and frontmatter requirements for marketplace plugins
tags: [structure, naming, frontmatter, conventions]
---
# Plugin Structure Standards
## Metadata
**Purpose**: Define file structure and naming conventions for marketplace plugins
**Applies to**: All Personal marketplace plugins
**Version**: 1.0.0
---
## Instructions
### Plugin Naming Conventions
**Plugin Directory Names**:
- Use kebab-case: `marketplace-dev`, `repo-investigator`
- Be descriptive but concise
- Avoid redundant "plugin" suffix
**Plugin Names in plugin.json**:
- Match directory name exactly
- Used in marketplace.json registration
- Used in command namespace (e.g., `/plugin-name:command`)
### Required Files
Every plugin MUST have:
1. **`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`** - Plugin metadata
2. **At least one**: Agent OR Command
**plugin.json Structure**:
```json
{
"name": "plugin-name",
"description": "Clear 5-10 word description",
"version": "X.Y.Z",
"author": {
"name": "Personal Team"
},
"tags": ["relevant", "searchable", "tags"]
}
```
### Directory Structure
**Standard Layout**:
```
plugin-name/
├── .claude-plugin/
│ └── plugin.json # Required
├── agents/ # Optional
│ └── expert-name.md
├── skills/ # Optional
│ ├── knowledge-area-1.md
│ └── knowledge-area-2.md
└── commands/ # Optional
├── action-1.md
└── action-2.md
```
**Personal**:
- All plugin development docs go in root `README.md`
- No nested plugin directories
- Flat structure within each component type
### File Naming Conventions
**Agents**: `{role}-{specialty}.md`
- Examples: `plugin-architect.md`, `documentation-validator.md`
- Lowercase, kebab-case
- Descriptive of expertise
**Skills**: `{domain}-{topic}.md`
- Examples: `plugin-architecture-principles.md`, `progressive-disclosure.md`
- Lowercase, kebab-case
- Noun-focused
**Commands**: `{action}-{target}.md`
- Examples: `validate-docs.md`, `design-plugin.md`
- Lowercase, kebab-case
- Verb-focused
### Frontmatter Requirements
**All component files** must have YAML frontmatter:
**Agents**:
```yaml
---
description: Brief description of agent expertise
---
```
**Skills**:
```yaml
---
title: Skill Name
description: One sentence description
tags: [category, topic, use-case]
---
```
**Commands**:
```yaml
---
description: What this command does (one sentence)

title: Progressive Disclosure Pattern
description: Three-tier knowledge loading for efficient token usage
tags: [skills, optimization, token-efficiency, loading-strategy]
---
# Progressive Disclosure Pattern
## Metadata
**Purpose**: Optimize token usage through progressive skill loading
**Pattern**: Three-tier activation (metadata → instructions → resources)
**Benefit**: Load only what's needed when it's needed
---
## Instructions
### The Three-Tier Pattern
Skills should be structured in three distinct sections that load progressively:
#### Tier 1: Metadata (Always Loaded)
**When**: Plugin loads, skill file scanned
**Purpose**: Identification and discovery
**Token Cost**: ~50-100 tokens
**Contains**:
- Title
- Description (1-2 sentences)
- Tags for categorization
- Version/applicability info
**Example**:
```markdown
---
title: Python Packaging Standards
description: Modern Python packaging best practices using pyproject.toml
tags: [python, packaging, standards]
---
# Python Packaging Standards
## Metadata
**Purpose**: Guide Python package structure and configuration
**Applies to**: All Python projects
**Version**: 1.0.0
```
#### Tier 2: Instructions (Loaded When Activated)
**When**: Agent/command explicitly activates the skill
**Purpose**: Core knowledge and guidance
**Token Cost**: ~500-1500 tokens
**Contains**:
- Core concepts and principles
- Decision-making frameworks
- Standards and best practices
- Common patterns
- Quick reference tables
**Example**:
```markdown
## Instructions
### Packaging Structure
Modern Python projects use `pyproject.toml`:
- Project metadata (name, version, description)
- Dependencies (tool.poetry.dependencies)
- Build system configuration
- Tool-specific settings (pytest, mypy, ruff)
### Best Practices
1. Use `pyproject.toml` over `setup.py`
2. Pin dependency versions for reproducibility
3. Separate dev and production dependencies
...
```
#### Tier 3: Resources (Loaded On Demand)
**When**: Agent/command explicitly requests additional resources
**Purpose**: Detailed examples, reference materials, edge cases
**Token Cost**: ~1000-3000 tokens
**Contains**:
- Complete examples
- Code templates
- Detailed reference tables
- Edge case handling
- Troubleshooting guides
**Example**:
```markdown
## Resources
### Complete pyproject.toml Example
\```toml
[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"
[tool.poetry]
name = "my-package"
version = "0.1.0"
...
\```
### Dependency Management Patterns
...detailed examples...
```
### Activation Strategy
**In Commands**:
```markdown
# Command starts
## Analysis Process
1. Determine project type
2. **Activate skill**: `plugin-architecture-principles` (Tier 2)
3. If detailed examples needed, load Tier 3 resources
4. Apply knowledge to analysis
```
**In Agents**:
```markdown
# Agent definition
You are a Python packaging expert.
**Skills available**:
- `python-packaging-standards` - Activate when analyzing Python projects
- `dependency-management` - Activate when reviewing dependencies
When encountering a Python project:
1. Activate `python-packaging-standards` (Tier 2)
2. Review structure against standards
3. Request Tier 3 resources if edge cases encountered
```
### Token Optimization
**Without Progressive Disclosure** (Always load everything):
- Every invocation: ~3000 tokens of skill knowledge
- 10 invocations: 30,000 tokens
- Much knowledge never used
**With Progressive Disclosure**:
- Metadata (always): ~75 tokens
- Instructions (when needed): +800 tokens
- Resources (rarely): +2000 tokens
- Average: ~875 tokens per invocation
- 10 invocations: ~8,750 tokens (71% savings)
### Design Guidelines
**DO**:
- ✅ Place essential guidance in Instructions
- ✅ Move detailed examples to Resources
- ✅ Keep Metadata concise (title, description, tags)
- ✅ Make each tier independently valuable
- ✅ Reference Resources from Instructions
**DON'T**:
- ❌ Put all knowledge in one section
- ❌ Duplicate information across tiers
- ❌ Load Resources by default
- ❌ Hide essential info in Resources
- ❌ Make tiers interdependent
### Skill Size Targets
| Tier | Target Size | Token Budget | Load Frequency |
|------|------------|--------------|----------------|
| Metadata | 50-100 lines | 75-150 tokens | Always |
| Instructions | 100-300 lines | 500-1500 tokens | When activated |
| Resources | 200-500 lines | 1000-3000 tokens | On explicit request |
### When to Split Skills
If a single skill exceeds these thresholds, consider splitting:
**Too Large** (Instructions > 300 lines):
```
python-standards/ → python-packaging-standards/
python-testing-standards/
python-code-quality/
```
**Too Granular** (Instructions < 50 lines):
```
ruff-setup/ → python-code-quality/
black-setup/ (combine related tools)
mypy-setup/
```
