rust	Explore Rust documentation and create skills for crates
just	Write justfiles and use the just command runner
plugin-development	Toolkit for creating Claude Code plugins

Installation

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add tarqd/skills

# Install a plugin
/plugin install kickstart@tarq

Or install from a local clone:

git clone https://github.com/tarqd/skills.git
cd skills

# Add local marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add ./
# skills will  be available via /plugin command 

Development

Prerequisites

# Install dependencies (macOS)
just setup

Create a New Plugin

just new-plugin

This prompts for plugin details, creates the structure, and registers it in marketplace.json.

Add Components to a Plugin

just add-skill rust      # Add a skill to the rust plugin
just add-agent rust      # Add an agent
just add-hook rust       # Add a hook

# Or run interactively

Local Development

Testing with --plugin-dir

The fastest way to test a plugin during development is using the --plugin-dir flag:

# Test a plugin directly without installing
claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/my-plugin

# Test multiple plugins
claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/kickstart --plugin-dir ./plugins/rust

This loads the plugin directly from the directory, so changes take effect immediately on the next session.

Using Local Marketplace

Alternatively, add the marketplace locally for a more production-like setup:

# Clone and enter the repo
git clone https://github.com/tarqd/skills.git
cd skills

# Add as local marketplace
/plugin marketplace add ./

# Install a plugin you're working on
/plugin install my-plugin@tarq

# After making changes, reinstall to pick them up
/plugin uninstall my-plugin@tarq
/plugin install my-plugin@tarq

Validation

just validate            # Run all validations
just validate-schemas    # Validate JSON schemas
just validate-templates  # Validate kickstart templates

Using the Kickstart Templates

The templates can be used standalone to scaffold Claude Code plugins anywhere.

Install Kickstart

# macOS
brew install kickstart

# Or see https://github.com/Keats/kickstart

Available Templates

Template	Description
claude-plugin	Full plugin with empty component directories
claude-skill	Skill with SKILL.md, reference.md, examples.md
claude-agent	Standalone agent file
claude-hook	Hook configuration with shell script

Usage

# Clone the templates
git clone https://github.com/tarqd/skills.git
cd skills

# Create a new plugin anywhere
kickstart templates/claude-plugin -o ~/my-projects/

# Add a skill to any plugin
kickstart templates/claude-skill -o ~/my-projects/my-plugin/skills/

# Add an agent
kickstart templates/claude-agent -o ~/my-projects/my-plugin/agents/

# Add hooks
kickstart templates/claude-hook -o ~/my-projects/my-plugin/hooks/

Each template prompts for configuration interactively. Use --no-input to accept defaults:

kickstart skills/templates/claude-plugin -o ./ --no-input
