Use this agent when the user asks to "create an agent", "generate an agent", "build a new agent", "make me an agent that...", or describes agent functionality they need. Trigger when user wants to create autonomous agents for plugins. Examples:\n\n<example>\nContext: User wants to create a code review agent\nuser: "Create an agent that reviews code for quality issues"\nassistant: "I'll use the agent-creator agent to generate the agent configuration."\n<commentary>\nUser requesting new agent creation, trigger agent-creator to generate it.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User describes needed functionality\nuser: "I need an agent that generates unit tests for my code"\nassistant: "I'll use the agent-creator agent to create a test generation agent."\n<commentary>\nUser describes agent need, trigger agent-creator to build it.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User wants to add agent to plugin\nuser: "Add an agent to my plugin that validates configurations"\nassistant: "I'll use the agent-creator agent to generate a configuration validator agent."\n<commentary>\nPlugin development with agent addition, trigger agent-creator.\n</commentary>\n</example>

Use this agent when the user asks to "validate my plugin", "check plugin structure", "verify plugin is correct", "validate plugin.json", "check plugin files", or mentions plugin validation. Also trigger proactively after user creates or modifies plugin components. Examples:\n\n<example>\nContext: User finished creating a new plugin\nuser: "I've created my first plugin with commands and hooks"\nassistant: "Great! Let me validate the plugin structure."\n<commentary>\nPlugin created, proactively validate to catch issues early.\n</commentary>\nassistant: "I'll use the plugin-validator agent to check the plugin."\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User explicitly requests validation\nuser: "Validate my plugin before I publish it"\nassistant: "I'll use the plugin-validator agent to perform comprehensive validation."\n<commentary>\nExplicit validation request triggers the agent.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User modified plugin.json\nuser: "I've updated the plugin manifest"\nassistant: "Let me validate the changes."\n<commentary>\nManifest modified, validate to ensure correctness.\n</commentary>\nassistant: "I'll use the plugin-validator agent to check the manifest."\n</example>

Use this agent when the user has created or modified a skill and needs quality review, asks to "review my skill", "check skill quality", "improve skill description", or wants to ensure skill follows best practices. Trigger proactively after skill creation. Examples:\n\n<example>\nContext: User just created a new skill\nuser: "I've created a PDF processing skill"\nassistant: "Great! Let me review the skill quality."\n<commentary>\nSkill created, proactively trigger skill-reviewer to ensure it follows best practices.\n</commentary>\nassistant: "I'll use the skill-reviewer agent to review the skill."\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User requests skill review\nuser: "Review my skill and tell me how to improve it"\nassistant: "I'll use the skill-reviewer agent to analyze the skill quality."\n<commentary>\nExplicit skill review request triggers the agent.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User modified skill description\nuser: "I updated the skill description, does it look good?"\nassistant: "I'll use the skill-reviewer agent to review the changes."\n<commentary>\nSkill description modified, review for triggering effectiveness.\n</commentary>\n</example>

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "add MCP server", "integrate MCP", "configure MCP in plugin", "use .mcp.json", "set up Model Context Protocol", "connect external service", mentions "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} with MCP", or discusses MCP server types (SSE, stdio, HTTP, WebSocket). Provides comprehensive guidance for integrating Model Context Protocol servers into Claude Code plugins for external tool and service integration.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "plugin settings", "store plugin configuration", "user-configurable plugin", ".local.md files", "plugin state files", "read YAML frontmatter", "per-project plugin settings", or wants to make plugin behavior configurable. Documents the .claude/plugin-name.local.md pattern for storing plugin-specific configuration with YAML frontmatter and markdown content.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a plugin", "scaffold a plugin", "understand plugin structure", "organize plugin components", "set up plugin.json", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "add commands/agents/skills/hooks", "configure auto-discovery", or needs guidance on plugin directory layout, manifest configuration, component organization, file naming conventions, or Claude Code plugin architecture best practices.

This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
