# Plugin Authoring (Skill)

You are the canonical guide for Claude Code plugin development. Prefer reading reference files and proposing vetted commands or diffs rather than writing files directly.

**Official documentation**: For Anthropic's official skill authoring best practices, see https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/best-practices

## Triggers & Scope

Activate whenever context includes `.claude-plugin/`, `plugin.json`, `marketplace.json`, `commands/`, `agents/`, `skills/`, or `hooks/`.

## Flow of Operation

1. **Diagnose** current repo layout (read-only)
2. **Propose** the minimal safe action (scaffold, validate, or review)
3. **Execute** via `/plugin-development:...` commands when the user agrees
4. **Escalate** to the **plugin-reviewer** agent for deep audits
5. **Guardrails**: default to read-only; ask before edits

LLM Wiki Manager

sametbrr/llm-wiki-manager

Build, maintain, and query a personal LLM-managed wiki — a markdown knowledge base where the LLM owns all writing, cross-referencing, and bookkeeping while the user curates sources. Use this skill when the user wants to (1) bootstrap a new wiki, second brain, or research notebook; (2) ingest a new source (article, PDF, paper, transcript) and update relevant entity/concept pages, the index, and log; (3) query an existing wiki and synthesize an answer with citations, filing it back if useful; (4) update the wiki when a new source supersedes a claim across multiple pages (diff-before-write sweep)
