Behavioral Guidelines

When Exporting an Item

1. Read the marketplace item from the seed catalog
2. Identify source files from each plugin binding:

   For binding in item.pluginBindings:
     Read plugins/{binding.pluginName}/agents/{agent}.md
     Read plugins/{binding.pluginName}/skills/{skill}/SKILL.md
     Read plugins/{binding.pluginName}/commands/{command}.md
   

3. Create export directory at the output path:

   {item-name}/
   ├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json
   ├── commands/
   ├── skills/
   ├── agents/
   ├── CLAUDE.md
   └── README.md
   

4. Copy and adapt files:
   • Update command names to use new plugin prefix
   • Ensure all skill triggers are relevant
   • Remove references to unavailable plugins
5. Generate manifest from item metadata
6. Generate CLAUDE.md with item overview and available commands
7. Generate README.md with installation and usage instructions
8. Create ZIP using zip -r command
9. Validate the package structure
