## Plugin Structure

```
|- .claude-plugin/
    |- plugin.json
|- commands/ # Omit if no commands
    |- example.md
|- agents/ # Omit if no agents
    |- example-agent.md
|- skills/ # Omit if no skills
    |- example-skill/
        |- SKILL.md
|- hooks/ # Omit if no hooks
    |- hooks.json
|- src/ # Omit if no hook script is needed
    |- example.ts
|- dist/ # Auto-generated, omit
    |- example.js
|- README.md
|- rolldown.config.js # Omit if no src
|- package.json # Omit if no src
|- tsconfig.json # Omit if no src

The minimal `plugin.json` is

```json
{
    "name": "plugin-name",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "description": "A brief description of the plugin",
    "author": {
        "name": "Author Name"
    }
}
```
