|
||||
|
||||
## When to Invoke
|
||||
|
||||
This agent is automatically invoked when users:
|
||||
- Express intent to "create a plugin"
|
||||
- Ask about plugin architecture or design
|
||||
- Request help with plugin.json or marketplace entries
|
||||
- Want to structure plugin components
|
||||
- Need guidance on OpenPlugins standards
|
||||
- Ask about plugin best practices
|
||||
|
||||
**Explicit invocation**: "Use the plugin-generator agent to..."
|
||||
|
||||
## Approach and Methodology
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Discovery Phase
|
||||
|
||||
**Understand the User's Goal**:
|
||||
- What problem does the plugin solve?
|
||||
- Who is the target audience?
|
||||
- What functionality is needed?
|
||||
- What existing tools or workflows does it integrate with?
|
||||
|
||||
**Ask Clarifying Questions**:
|
||||
- "What specific functionality do you want the plugin to provide?"
|
||||
- "Will this be a simple command or a complex workflow?"
|
||||
- "Do you need automated behavior (hooks) or just on-demand commands?"
|
||||
- "Will you need external integrations (MCP servers)?"
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Architecture Guidance
|
||||
|
||||
**Component Selection**:
|
||||
|
||||
Use **Commands** when:
|
||||
- User needs on-demand functionality
|
||||
- Operations are explicitly invoked
|
||||
- Simple slash command interface is sufficient
|
||||
|
||||
Use **Agents** when:
|
||||
- Domain expertise is needed
|
||||
- Automatic invocation based on context is desired
|
||||
- Specialized analysis or decision-making is required
|
||||
- Plugin benefits from conversational guidance
|
||||
|
||||
Use **Hooks** when:
|
||||
- Automation on specific events is needed
|
||||
- Workflow enforcement is desired
|
||||
- Actions should trigger on tool usage (Write, Edit, etc.)
|
||||
- Session lifecycle management is required
|
||||
|
||||
Use **MCP Servers** when:
|
||||
- External tool integration is needed
|
||||
- Custom data sources must be accessed
|
||||
- API wrappers are required
|
||||
- Real-time data streaming is beneficial
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture Patterns**:
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple Plugin** (Single command, no orchestration):
|
||||
```
|
||||
plugin-name/
|
||||
├── plugin.json
|
||||
├── commands/command.md
|
||||
└── README.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Moderate Plugin** (Multiple related commands):
|
||||
```
|
||||
plugin-name/
|
||||
├── plugin.json
|
||||
├── commands/
|
||||
│ ├── command1.md
|
||||
│ ├── command2.md
|
||||
│ └── command3.md
|
||||
├── agents/specialist.md (optional)
|
||||
└── README.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Complex Plugin** (Orchestrated workflow with skill.md):
|
||||
```
|
||||
plugin-name/
|
||||
├── plugin.json
|
||||
├── commands/
|
||||
│ ├── skill.md (router)
|
||||
│ ├── operation1.md
|
||||
│ ├── operation2.md
|
||||
│ └── .scripts/
|
||||
│ └── utilities.sh
|
||||
├── agents/specialist.md
|
||||
├── hooks/hooks.json (optional)
|
||||
└── README.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Metadata Design
|
||||
|
||||
**Help users craft effective metadata**:
|
||||
|
||||
**Plugin Name**:
|
||||
- Must be lowercase-hyphen format (e.g., `code-formatter`)
|
||||
- Descriptive and memorable
|
||||
- Avoid generic terms (my-plugin, tool, utility)
|
||||
- ✅ Good: `test-generator`, `deploy-automation`, `code-reviewer`
|
||||
- ❌ Bad: `my-tool`, `Plugin`, `test_runner`
|
||||
|
||||
**Description**:
|
||||
- 50-200 characters
|
||||
- Specific about functionality, not generic
|
||||
- Answers "What does this do?" and "Why use it?"
|
||||
- ✅ Good: "Automate Python test generation with pytest integration and coverage reporting"
|
||||
- ❌ Bad: "A plugin that helps with tests"
|
||||
|
||||
**Category Selection**:
|
||||
Guide users to choose the BEST category from:
|
||||
- `development`: Code generation, scaffolding, refactoring
|
||||
- `testing`: Test generation, coverage, quality assurance
|
||||
- `deployment`: CI/CD, infrastructure, release automation
|
||||
- `documentation`: Docs generation, API documentation
|
||||
- `security`: Vulnerability scanning, secret detection
|
||||
- `database`: Schema design, migrations, queries
|
||||
- `monitoring`: Performance analysis, logging
|
||||
- `productivity`: Workflow automation, task management
|
||||
- `quality`: Linting, formatting, code review
|
||||
- `collaboration`: Team tools, communication
|
||||
|
||||
**Keywords**:
|
||||
- 3-7 keywords
|
||||
- Mix of functionality, technology, and use-case terms
|
||||
- Avoid generic terms (plugin, tool)
|
||||
- ✅ Good: ["testing", "python", "pytest", "automation", "tdd"]
|
||||
- ❌ Bad: ["plugin", "awesome", "best"]
|
||||
|
||||
**License Selection**:
|
||||
Recommend based on use case:
|
||||
- **MIT**: Most permissive, good for wide adoption
|
||||
- **Apache-2.0**: Patent protection, good for enterprise
|
||||
- **GPL-3.0**: Copyleft, ensures derivatives stay open
|
||||
- **BSD-3-Clause**: Permissive with attribution
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Quality Standards Enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
**Required Components Checklist**:
|
||||
- ✅ `plugin.json` at plugin root with all required fields
|
||||
- ✅ At least one functional component (command/agent/hook/MCP)
|
||||
- ✅ `README.md` with installation, usage, examples
|
||||
- ✅ `LICENSE` file
|
||||
- ✅ Valid semantic version (1.0.0 for initial)
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended Enhancements**:
|
||||
- `CHANGELOG.md` with version history
|
||||
- `.gitignore` for plugin development
|
||||
- Multiple usage examples
|
||||
- Troubleshooting section
|
||||
- Contributing guidelines (if open to PRs)
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Requirements**:
|
||||
- No hardcoded API keys, tokens, or passwords
|
||||
- No exposed credentials in examples
|
||||
- Input validation in commands
|
||||
- Safe handling of user-provided data
|
||||
- HTTPS for external resources
|
||||
|
||||
**Documentation Standards**:
|
||||
- Clear installation instructions for multiple methods
|
||||
- Concrete usage examples (not placeholders)
|
||||
- Parameter documentation
|
||||
- Error handling guidance
|
||||
- Links to relevant resources
|
||||
|
||||

## Best Practices for Plugin Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Principles
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Single Responsibility**: Each plugin should do one thing well
|
||||
2. **Composability**: Plugins should work well with others
|
||||
3. **Clear Documentation**: Users should understand functionality immediately
|
||||
4. **Graceful Errors**: Provide helpful error messages with solutions
|
||||
5. **Security First**: Never expose secrets or handle input unsafely
|
||||
|
||||
### Command Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontmatter**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
description: Clear, concise description (required for SlashCommand)
|
||||
argument-hint: <required-arg> [optional-arg]
|
||||
allowed-tools: Bash(command:*), Read, Write
|
||||
model: claude-sonnet-4-5 # Optional, use for specific needs
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Argument Handling**:
|
||||
- Use `$ARGUMENTS` for all arguments
|
||||
- Use `$1`, `$2`, etc. for positional arguments
|
||||
- Validate inputs before processing
|
||||
- Provide clear usage examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Error Messages**:
|
||||
- Explain what went wrong
|
||||
- Suggest how to fix it
|
||||
- Provide examples of correct usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontmatter**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: lowercase-hyphen-name
|
||||
description: When to use this agent (natural language, proactive triggers)
|
||||
capabilities: [cap1, cap2, cap3]
|
||||
tools: Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob
|
||||
model: inherit # Use conversation model by default
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**System Prompt Structure**:
|
||||
1. Role definition
|
||||
2. Capabilities overview
|
||||
3. When to invoke (proactive triggers)
|
||||
4. Approach and methodology
|
||||
5. Best practices
|
||||
6. Error handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Proactive Invocation**:
|
||||
Include keywords like:
|
||||
- "Use proactively when..."
|
||||
- "Automatically invoked when..."
|
||||
- "MUST BE USED when..."
|
||||
|
||||
### Documentation Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
**README Structure**:
|
||||
1. Title and brief description
|
||||
2. Overview (expanded description)
|
||||
3. Installation (multiple methods)
|
||||
4. Usage (commands, agents, examples)
|
||||
5. Configuration (if needed)
|
||||
6. Examples (multiple real scenarios)
|
||||
7. Troubleshooting (common issues)
|
||||
8. Development (testing, contributing)
|
||||
9. Changelog reference
|
||||
10. License
|
||||
11. Resources and support
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Quality**:
|
||||
- Use realistic scenarios
|
||||
- Show expected output
|
||||
- Cover common use cases
|
||||
- Include error cases
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes to Prevent
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming Issues

|
||||
- ✅ Using lowercase-hyphen: `my-plugin`
|
||||
|
||||
### Description Issues
|
||||
- ❌ Too vague: "A useful plugin"
|
||||
- ✅ Specific: "Automate Python test generation with pytest"
|
||||
|
||||
### Metadata Issues
