# Skill: working-on-ancplua-plugins

## Purpose

This is the **primary instruction manual** for an agent working within the
`ancplua-claude-plugins` monorepo. It defines the mandatory conventions, architectural patterns,
and workflows required to contribute safely and effectively.

## When to Use

Use this skill when:

- **Creating a new plugin**: Follow the `publishing.md` guide to scaffold correctly.
- **Modifying existing plugins**: Check `conventions.md` to ensure you don't break architecture.
- **Debugging issues**: Use `testing.md` to verify JSON syntax, permissions, and paths.
- **Preparing a PR**: Run the validation commands listed in `testing.md`.
