Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Create Plugin Scaffold a new Claude Code plugin from scratch. ## When to use When you want to create a new plugin that extends Claude Code with skills, commands, and agents. This generates the correct directory structure and wires up MCP tools. ## Steps 1. **Get plugin name and description** from the user 2. **Check for conflicts** — call `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__transfer_plugin-search` to ensure the name isn't taken 3. **Create directory structure** (follows the canonical plugin contract from sibling plugins' ADR-0001s): ``` plugins/<name>/ ├── .claude-plugin/ │ └── plugin.json ├── skills/ │ └── <skill-name>/ │ └── SKILL.md ├── commands/ │ └── <command-name>.md ├── agents/ │ └── <agent-name>.md ├── docs/ │ └── adrs/ │ └── 0001-<name>-contract.md # Plugin-level ADR (Proposed) ├── scripts/ │ └── smoke.sh # Structural contract (≥8 checks) └── README.md # Compatibility + Namespace coordination + Verification + ADR sections ``` 4. **Generate plugin.json** with name, description, version, author (do NOT include `skills`, `commands`, or `agents` arrays — Claude Code auto-discovers these from directory structure) 5. **Generate SKILL.md files** with proper frontmatter: ```yaml ---

What does the create-plugin skill do?
Scaffold a new Claude Code plugin with proper directory structure, plugin.json, skills, commands, and agents
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill create-plugin --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ruvnet/ruflo, a repository with 67,015 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
