# Plugin Quickstart Generator

Generate a complete, production-ready Claude Code plugin structure following OpenPlugins marketplace standards.

## Mission

Create a fully-structured plugin with all required files, metadata, documentation, and templates that meets OpenPlugins quality standards and is ready for local testing and marketplace submission.

## Arguments

- **$1 (plugin-name)**: Required. Plugin name in lowercase-hyphen format (e.g., `code-formatter`)
- **$2 (category)**: Optional. One of: development, testing, deployment, documentation, security, database, monitoring, productivity, quality, collaboration

## Process

### 1. Validate Plugin Name

**CRITICAL**: Plugin name MUST be in lowercase-hyphen format (e.g., `my-plugin-name`).

If the plugin name contains uppercase letters, underscores, spaces, or other invalid characters, STOP and provide clear error message with examples of valid names.

Valid format: `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]$`

Examples:
- ✅ Valid: `code-formatter`, `test-runner`, `deploy-tool`, `my-plugin`
- ❌ Invalid: `Code-Formatter`, `test_runner`, `Deploy Tool`, `My Plugin`, `plugin-`

### 2. Interactive Metadata Collection

Gather the following information from the user:

**Description** (Required, 50-200 characters):
- Prompt: "Enter a brief description of your plugin (50-200 characters):"
- Validate length and provide feedback
- Ensure it's informative and specific (not generic like "A useful plugin")

**Author Information**:
- Name (Default: from `git config user.name` or prompt)
- Email (Default: from `git config user.email` or prompt)
- URL (Optional: GitHub profile or website)

**License** (Default: MIT):
- Show options: MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0, BSD-3-Clause
- Prompt: "Choose license (default: MIT):"
- Validate against list

**Category** (Use $2 if provided, otherwise prompt):
- Show all 10 categories:
  - 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
- Prompt: "Choose category:"
- Validate selection

**Keywords** (3-7 keywords, comma-separated):
- Prompt: "Enter 3-7 relevant keywords (comma-separated):"
- Examples: testing, automation, python, docker, ci-cd
- Validate count (3-7 keywords)
- Avoid generic terms: plugin, tool, utility

**Agent Option**:
- Prompt: "Include a specialist agent? (y/n, default: n):"
- If yes, prompt for agent capabilities (comma-separated)

### 3. Generate Plugin Structure

Create the following directory structure in the current working directory:

```
<plugin-name>/
├── plugin.json                # At plugin root
├── commands/
│   └── example.md
├── agents/                    # Only if user requested agent
│   └── example-agent.md
├── README.md
├── LICENSE
├── CHANGELOG.md
└── .gitignore
```

### 4. Generate plugin.json

Create `plugin.json` at the plugin root with complete metadata:

```json
{
  "name": "<plugin-name>",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "<user-provided-description>",
  "author": {
    "name": "<author-name>",
    "email": "<author-email>"
    // Include "url" field if user provided it
  },
  "license": "<selected-license>",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/<username>/<plugin-name>"
  },
  "homepage": "https://github.com/<username>/<plugin-name>",
  "keywords": [
    // User-provided keywords as array
  ]
}
```

**Important**:
- Try to infer GitHub username from git config or author URL
- If not available, use placeholder: "yourusername"
- Ensure valid JSON with proper escaping

### 5. Generate Example Command

Create `commands/example.md`:

```markdown
---
description: Example command for <plugin-name>
---

# Example Command

This is a template command for your plugin. Replace this with your actual functionality.

## Usage

```bash
/example [arguments]
```

## Implementation

**TODO**: Add your command logic here.

### Example Implementation Steps

1. Parse the arguments from $ARGUMENTS
2. Validate inputs
3. Execute core functionality
4. Provide clear output with results
5. Handle errors gracefully

### Accessing Arguments

- **All arguments**: `$ARGUMENTS`
- **First argument**: `$1`
- **Second argument**: `$2`
- And so on...

### Using Tools

If your command needs specific tools, add them to frontmatter:

```yaml
---
description: Example command
allowed-tools: Bash(npm:*), Read, Write
---
```

### Best Practices

- Be specific in your description
- Validate user inputs
- Provide helpful error messages
- Include usage examples
- Document expected behavior

## Error Handling

Handle common error cases:
- Missing required arguments
- Invalid input formats
- File not found
- Permission issues
- External command failures

Provide clear, actionable error messages.

## Output Format

Define what users should expect:
- Success messages
- Error messages
- Data format (JSON, text, tables)
- Next steps or recommendations
```

### 6. Generate Agent (If Requested)

If user requested an agent, create `agents/example-agent.md`:

```markdown
---
name: <plugin-name-base>
description: Expert specialist for <plugin-purpose>. Use proactively when <invocation-triggers>.
capabilities: [<user-provided-capabilities>]
tools: Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob
model: inherit
---

# <Plugin Name> Agent

- **Write**: For creating new files
- **Edit**: For modifying existing files
- **Bash**: For executing commands and scripts
- **Grep**: For searching patterns in files
- **Glob**: For finding files by pattern

## Error Handling

When encountering errors:
1. Identify the root cause
2. Explain the issue clearly
3. Provide specific solutions
4. Offer alternatives if needed

## Output Format

Always provide:
- Clear summary of actions taken

## Error Handling

### Invalid Plugin Name

If plugin name doesn't match `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]$`:

```
❌ Error: Invalid plugin name "<provided-name>"

Plugin names must:
- Start with a lowercase letter
- Contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
- End with a lowercase letter or number
- Not contain consecutive hyphens
- Not start or end with a hyphen

✅ Valid examples:
  - code-formatter
  - test-runner
  - my-plugin
  - plugin-v2

❌ Invalid examples:
  - Code-Formatter (uppercase)
  - test_runner (underscore)
  - My Plugin (spaces)
  - -plugin (starts with hyphen)
  - plugin- (ends with hyphen)

Please provide a valid plugin name and try again.
```

### Description Too Short/Long

```
❌ Error: Description must be between 50 and 200 characters.

Current length: <actual-length> characters

Your description: "<provided-description>"

Tip: Be specific about what your plugin does. Avoid generic phrases.

✅ Good examples:
  - "Automate code formatting using Prettier with project-specific configurations"
  - "Generate comprehensive test suites for Python functions with pytest integration"

❌ Avoid:
  - "A useful plugin" (too vague)
  - "Plugin for stuff" (not descriptive)
```

### Invalid Category

```
❌ Error: Invalid category "<provided-category>"

Valid categories:
  1. development - Code generation, scaffolding, refactoring
  2. testing - Test generation, coverage, quality assurance
  3. deployment - CI/CD, infrastructure, release automation
  4. documentation - Docs generation, API documentation
  5. security - Vulnerability scanning, secret detection
  6. database - Schema design, migrations, queries
  7. monitoring - Performance analysis, logging
  8. productivity - Workflow automation, task management
  9. quality - Linting, formatting, code review
  10. collaboration - Team tools, communication

Please choose a category number (1-10) or name.
```

### Insufficient Keywords

```
❌ Error: Please provide 3-7 keywords (you provided <count>)

Keywords help users discover your plugin in the marketplace.

Guidelines:
- Use 3-7 keywords
- Focus on functionality, technology, and use cases
- Avoid generic terms (plugin, tool, utility)
- Use lowercase, comma-separated

Examples:
  ✅ "testing, automation, python, pytest, ci-cd"
  ✅ "linting, javascript, eslint, code-quality"
  ❌ "plugin, tool, awesome" (too generic)
  ❌ "test" (insufficient)
```

### File Creation Failures

If directory creation or file writing fails:

```
❌ Error: Failed to create <file-path>

Reason: <error-message>

Possible causes:
- Insufficient permissions
- Directory already exists
- Disk space full
- Invalid path

Solutions:
1. Check directory permissions: ls -la
2. Verify disk space: df -h
3. Try a different location
4. Remove existing directory if safe: rm -rf <plugin-name>

Need help? Check the troubleshooting guide:
https://github.com/dhofheinz/open-plugins/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
```

### JSON Validation Failures

If generated JSON is invalid:

```
❌ Error: Generated plugin.json has invalid syntax

Location: <file-path>

Issue: <json-error>

This is likely a bug in the generator. Please:
1. Report this issue: https://github.com/dhofheinz/open-plugins/issues
2. Manually fix the JSON syntax
3. Validate with: cat plugin.json | python3 -m json.tool

We'll fix this in the next update!
```

## Implementation Notes

1. **Interactive Prompts**: Use natural language to collect user input
2. **Defaults**: Provide sensible defaults from git config when available
3. **Validation**: Validate all inputs before generating files
4. **Error Recovery**: If generation partially fails, report which files succeeded
5. **Idempotency**: Warn if plugin directory already exists, offer to overwrite
6. **Current Date**: Use actual current date for CHANGELOG.md and LICENSE
7. **Git Config**: Try to read author info from git config for better UX
8. **Relative Paths**: Generate all paths relative to current working directory
9. **Cross-Platform**: Ensure generated files work on Linux, macOS, and Windows
10. **Character Escaping**: Properly escape special characters in JSON strings

## Success Output

After successful generation, output should:
- Clearly indicate success with visual markers (✅, 📁, 📋, etc.)
- List all generated files with brief descriptions
- Provide numbered, sequential next steps
- Include both local testing AND marketplace submission workflows
- Reference relevant documentation
- Offer pro tips for success
- Include a quality checklist
- Provide links to get help

## Best Practices

1. **User Experience**: Make the process feel guided and supportive
2. **Error Messages**: Always explain WHY something failed and HOW to fix it
3. **Examples**: Provide concrete examples in all prompts
4. **Validation**: Catch errors early before generating files
5. **Documentation**: Generate comprehensive, helpful documentation
6. **Standards Compliance**: Ensure all generated files meet OpenPlugins standards
7. **Testing Support**: Make local testing easy with test marketplace
8. **Community Integration**: Guide users to OpenPlugins resources and community

---

**Remember**: This plugin generates the FIRST plugin for OpenPlugins marketplace. Quality and attention to detail are critical for setting the right standard for the entire ecosystem.
