This skill defines a standardized plugin architecture for seamless integration & expansion of AI capabilities, boosting versatility and efficiency.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it Plugin Structure, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add anthropics/claude-code --skill "Plugin Structure" -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/claude-code at 3deb873687.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The plugin-structure skill provides a framework for organizing and managing plugins within AI agent systems. It enables developers to define, register, and manage plugins in a structured way, ensuring consistency and modularity across different components of an AI application.

When to use it

  • When building modular AI applications that require multiple plugins for extended functionality.
  • When you need to maintain clear separation between core logic and plugin-specific features.
  • During the development phase when structuring an agent's capabilities with reusable, interchangeable parts.

Key capabilities

  • Plugin registration system
  • Modularity support for AI agents
  • Consistent structure across different plugins

Example prompts

  • "Set up a plugin structure for my AI assistant to handle calendar integration."
  • "How can I register a new plugin using the plugin-structure framework?"
  • "I want to organize my agent's plugins into separate modules—can you guide me through it?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure all plugins follow the defined structure to avoid compatibility issues.
  • This skill is best used in conjunction with other development tools that support modular AI architecture.
