Guidance for working in the mrbogomips plugins marketplace repository.
This is a flat-at-root plugin marketplace following the convention used by Anthropic's domain-specific marketplaces. Each top-level directory is a plugin:
developer-tools/— developer environment toolinghuman-resources/— HR workflow supportproject-management/— project management workflowstech-writing/— technical writing support
Every plugin must contain .claude-plugin/plugin.json. Components are discovered by convention:
- Skills —
skills/*/SKILL.md - Agents —
agents/*/AGENT.md - Hooks —
hooks/hooks.json - Commands —
commands/*.md
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json is the marketplace manifest. Each plugin entry must be an object with at least name, source, and description. Use category and tags for classification.
String-only entries (bare paths) are not valid — always use the object format.
After any change to a plugin or to marketplace.json, run:
bash tests/ci/run-structural-tests.shThis is a strict requirement. No change is complete until validation passes. Requires jq.
For a plugin headed to the community marketplace, also run the check the review pipeline runs before submitting:
claude plugin validate ./<plugin> --strictPlugins with optional MCP server dependencies use CONNECTORS.md to declare ~~placeholder categories. Skills reference these as ~~knowledge base, ~~email, etc. and degrade gracefully when no server is connected. Validation scripts check that every ~~placeholder in SKILL.md files has a matching entry in CONNECTORS.md.
This is a static marketplace — no build steps. Plugins are collections of markdown, JSON, and templates. When adding or changing a plugin, update both the plugin's own files and the marketplace manifest.
Scripts must be macOS (BSD) compatible — no grep -P, no head -n -1. Use grep -E/grep -oE and awk instead. Avoid ((VAR++)) with set -e (fails when VAR=0); use VAR=$((VAR + 1)).
