Plugin Design Skill

Expert guidance for designing Claude Code plugin architecture with optimal component selection and pattern recommendations.

Operations

• •analyze - Analyze requirements and suggest optimal architecture
• •select-components - Determine which components to use (commands, agents, hooks, MCP)
• •recommend - Suggest architectural patterns based on complexity
• •estimate - Assess implementation complexity and effort

Usage Examples

# Analyze requirements
/plugin-design analyze requirements:"Need to automate database backups with scheduling"

# Get component recommendations
/plugin-design select-components purpose:"Code quality automation" features:"lint,format,review"

# Get pattern recommendations
/plugin-design recommend complexity:moderate features:3

# Estimate implementation effort
/plugin-design estimate operations:5 has_scripts:true has_agents:true

Router Logic

Parse the first word of $ARGUMENTS to determine the requested operation:

1. •Extract operation from first word of $ARGUMENTS
2. •Parse remaining arguments as key:value parameters
3. •Route to appropriate operation file:
   • •"analyze" → Read and execute {plugin-path}/commands/plugin-design/analyze-requirements.md
   • •"select-components" → Read and execute {plugin-path}/commands/plugin-design/select-components.md
   • •"recommend" → Read and execute {plugin-path}/commands/plugin-design/recommend-patterns.md
   • •"estimate" → Read and execute {plugin-path}/commands/plugin-design/estimate-complexity.md

Error Handling:

• •If operation unknown → List available operations with usage examples
• •If parameters missing → Request parameters with expected format
• •If requirements unclear → Ask clarifying questions

Base directory: Plugin commands directory Current request: $ARGUMENTS
