+# Plugin Structure Skill
+
+Comprehensive guidance on Claude Code plugin architecture, directory layout, and best practices.
+
+## Overview
+
+This skill provides detailed knowledge about:
+- Plugin directory structure and organization
+- `plugin.json` manifest configuration
+- Component organization (commands, agents, skills, hooks)
+- Auto-discovery mechanisms
+- Portable path references with `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`
+- File naming conventions
+
+## Skill Structure
+
+### SKILL.md (1,619 words)
+
+Core skill content covering:
+- Directory structure overview
+- Plugin manifest (plugin.json) fields
+- Component organization patterns
+- ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} usage
+- File naming conventions
+- Auto-discovery mechanism
+- Best practices
+- Common patterns
+- Troubleshooting
+
+### References
+
+Detailed documentation for deep dives:
+
+- **manifest-reference.md**: Complete `plugin.json` field reference
+  - All field descriptions and examples
+  - Path resolution rules
+  - Validation guidelines
+  - Minimal vs. complete manifest examples
+
+- **component-patterns.md**: Advanced organization patterns
+  - Component lifecycle (discovery, activation)
+  - Command organization patterns
+  - Agent organization patterns
+  - Skill organization patterns
+  - Hook organization patterns
+  - Script organization patterns
+  - Cross-component patterns
+  - Best practices for scalability
+
+### Examples
+
+Three complete plugin examples:
+
+- **minimal-plugin.md**: Simplest possible plugin
+  - Single command
+  - Minimal manifest
+  - When to use this pattern
+
+- **standard-plugin.md**: Well-structured production plugin
+  - Multiple components (commands, agents, skills, hooks)
+  - Complete manifest with metadata
+  - Rich skill structure
+  - Integration between components
+
+- **advanced-plugin.md**: Enterprise-grade plugin
+  - Multi-level organization
+  - MCP server integration
+  - Shared libraries
+  - Configuration management
+  - Security automation
+  - Monitoring integration
+
+## When This Skill Triggers
+
+Claude Code activates this skill when users:
+- Ask to "create a plugin" or "scaffold a plugin"
+- Need to "understand plugin structure"
+- Want to "organize plugin components"
+- Need to "set up plugin.json"
+- Ask about "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" usage
+- Want to "add commands/agents/skills/hooks"
+- Need "configure auto-discovery" help
+- Ask about plugin architecture or best practices
+
+## Progressive Disclosure
+
+The skill uses progressive disclosure to manage context:
+
+1. **SKILL.md** (~1600 words): Core concepts and workflows
+2. **References** (~6000 words): Detailed field references and patterns
+3. **Examples** (~8000 words): Complete working examples
+
+Claude loads references and examples only as needed based on the task.
+
+## Related Skills
+
+This skill works well with:
+- **hook-development**: For creating plugin hooks
+- **mcp-integration**: For integrating MCP servers (when available)
+- **marketplace-publishing**: For publishing plugins (when available)
+
+## Maintenance
+
+To update this skill:
+1. Keep SKILL.md lean and focused on core concepts
+2. Move detailed information to references/
+3. Add new examples/ for common patterns
+4. Update version in SKILL.md frontmatter
+5. Ensure all documentation uses imperative/infinitive form
