Build Marketplace Command

Create a new Claude Code marketplace for organizing plugins.

Workflow

1. Invoke marketplace-builder reference for current patterns:

   • Read skills/claude-code-meta/references/marketplace-builder.md
   • Get: marketplace structure, registration, plugin organization

2. Extract requirements:

   • Marketplace purpose and scope
   • What plugins will it contain?
   • Standalone or nested?

3. Plan marketplace:

   • Choose marketplace location
   • Design plugin organization
   • Plan discovery strategy

4. Create marketplace directory:

   mkdir -p <marketplace-path>/.claude-plugin
   

5. Write marketplace.json:

   {
     "plugins": [
       {
         "name": "plugin-name",
         "description": "Plugin description",
         "version": "0.1.0",
         "keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2"],
         "source": "./plugins/plugin-name",
         "strict": true
       }
     ]
   }
   

6. Create marketplace structure:

   mkdir -p <marketplace-path>/plugins
   mkdir -p <marketplace-path>/docs
   

7. Write README.md:

   # Marketplace Name
   
   Description of marketplace and what plugins it contains.
   
   ## Plugins
   
   - **plugin-name** - Description
   
   ## Installation
   
   [Installation instructions]
   

8. Create CHANGELOG.md:

   # Changelog - Marketplace Name
   
   ## [Unreleased]
   
   ## [0.1.0] - YYYY-MM-DD
   
   ### Added
   - Initial marketplace with [plugins]
   

9. Register marketplace:

   • Update Claude settings to point to marketplace
   • Enable plugins in settings.json

10. Validate:

    • marketplace.json valid JSON
    • All plugin sources exist
    • README documents all plugins
    • CHANGELOG initialized

11. Return:

    • Marketplace path
    • Plugins registered
    • Structure created

Criteria

Marketplace Structure:

• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json for registry
• plugins/ for plugin directories
• docs/ for documentation (optional)
• README.md for overview

Plugin Registration:

• Each plugin has entry in marketplace.json
• Source paths relative to marketplace root
• Strict mode for validation

Organization:

• Consistent structure across plugins

Best Practices:

• Keep marketplaces focused (theme/domain)
• Document discovery strategy
• Maintain CHANGELOG at marketplace level
