Claude Builder

A meta-development toolkit for creating Claude Code extensibility features. Build Skills, Subagents, Hooks, Commands, and Plugins faster with intelligent generators and proven templates.

Overview

Claude Builder is a comprehensive plugin that helps you create and manage Claude Code extensibility features. It uses a hybrid approach:

  • Proactive Skills: Claude automatically helps when you're working on extensibility features
  • Quick Commands: Explicit shortcuts when you want to create something immediately
  • Validation Agents: Specialized subagents that check your configurations
  • Template Library: Proven patterns for common use cases

Core Generator Skills

  1. skill-generator - Create new Skills with intelligent defaults

    • Auto-detects purpose from context
    • Generates proper YAML frontmatter
    • Creates supporting file structure
    • Suggests tool restrictions
  2. plugin-scaffolder - Scaffold complete plugin structures

    • Creates full directory layout
    • Generates plugin.json manifest
    • Sets up all component directories
    • Initializes documentation
  3. subagent-generator - Generate custom subagents

    • Creates properly formatted .md files
    • Suggests appropriate tool restrictions
    • Recommends model selection
    • Places in correct location
  4. hook-generator - Create and configure hooks

    • Provides common hook templates
    • Updates settings.json safely
    • Validates hook configurations
  5. extensibility-advisor - Choose the right approach

    • Helps decide between Skills, Commands, Subagents, and Hooks
    • Analyzes use cases and suggests best practices
    • Explains trade-offs

Quick Commands

Invoke these directly when you want immediate action:

  • /new-skill [name] - Create a new Skill
  • /new-plugin [name] - Scaffold a new plugin
  • /new-agent [name] - Generate a new subagent
  • /new-hook [event] - Create a new hook

Validation Subagents

  • yaml-validator - Validates YAML frontmatter in Skills and agents
  • structure-checker - Validates plugin directory structure

Template Library

Pre-built templates for common patterns:

Skills:

  • code-reviewer
  • test-runner
  • doc-generator

Agents:

  • debugger
  • refactorer
  • security-auditor

Hooks:

  • auto-formatter
  • pre-commit
  • notification examples

Plugins:

  • minimal-plugin
  • full-featured-plugin

Installation

/plugin marketplace add squirrelsoft-dev/squirrelsoft-marketplace
/plugin install claude-builder@squirrelsoft-dev

From Local Directory

# Create a dev marketplace
mkdir -p ~/.claude/marketplaces/dev/.claude-plugin
echo '{"name": "dev", "description": "Development marketplace"}' > ~/.claude/marketplaces/dev/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json

# Link claude-builder plugin
ln -s /path/to/claude-builder ~/.claude/marketplaces/dev/claude-builder

# Add marketplace and install
/plugin marketplace add ~/.claude/marketplaces/dev
/plugin install claude-builder@dev

For Team Use

Add to your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "marketplaces": [
      {
        "path": "/path/to/marketplace"
      }
    ],
    "installed": [
      {
        "name": "claude-builder",
        "marketplace": "dev"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Usage

Proactive Mode (Skills Auto-Activate)

Just start discussing what you want to create:

You: I need a skill that helps me review security issues in code
Claude: [skill-generator activates and helps you create it]

Explicit Mode (Commands)

Use slash commands for immediate action:

You: /new-skill security-reviewer
Claude: [Creates a new security-reviewer skill with intelligent defaults]

Getting Advice

When unsure which approach to use:

You: I want to automatically format code after edits. Should I use a skill or a hook?
Claude: [extensibility-advisor explains that hooks are better for deterministic automation]

Examples

Creating a New Skill

You: I want to create a skill that helps me write API documentation
Claude: I'll help you create an API documentation skill. Let me generate it with intelligent defaults.

[skill-generator creates:]
- skills/api-doc-generator/SKILL.md
- Proper YAML frontmatter
- System prompt for API documentation
- Tool restrictions (Read, Grep, Glob for analyzing code)

Scaffolding a Plugin

You: /new-plugin team-productivity
Claude: Creating a new plugin structure...

[plugin-scaffolder creates:]
- team-productivity/
  - .claude-plugin/plugin.json
  - skills/
  - commands/
  - agents/
  - README.md

Creating a Subagent

You: I need a specialized agent for database query optimization
Claude: I'll create a database optimization subagent with appropriate tools.

[subagent-generator creates:]
- agents/db-optimizer.md
- Tool access: Read, Grep, Bash (for analyzing queries)
- Model: Sonnet (good balance for analysis)

Best Practices

When to Use Each Feature

Skills (Model-Invoked):

  • Complex, multi-step workflows
  • When you want Claude to help proactively
  • Reusable capabilities across projects
  • Example: code-reviewer, test-generator

Commands (User-Invoked):

  • Frequently used, simple workflows
  • When you want explicit control
  • Quick shortcuts to common tasks
  • Example: /run-tests, /deploy

Subagents (Specialized Assistants):

  • Domain-specific expertise
  • Tasks needing isolated context
  • Different tool access requirements
  • Example: debugger, security-auditor

Hooks (Automated Events):

  • Deterministic automation
  • Always-on behaviors
  • Formatting, logging, validation
  • Example: auto-format on save, pre-commit checks

Plugins (Bundle Everything):

  • Shareable collections
  • Team workflows
  • Complete feature sets
  • Example: team-standards, company-best-practices

Development Workflow

  1. Create: Use generators to create new features
  2. Test: Try your new Skill/Agent/Hook in conversation
  3. Iterate: Refine based on usage
  4. Share: Package into plugin for team use
  5. Distribute: Share via marketplace

Template Customization

All templates are starting points. Customize them for your needs:

  1. Browse templates/ directory
  2. Copy template to your location
  3. Modify YAML frontmatter and content
  4. Test and iterate

Troubleshooting

Skill Not Activating

  • Check SKILL.md description is clear and specific
  • Include keywords that match your use case
  • Verify YAML frontmatter is valid

Command Not Found

  • Ensure plugin is enabled: /plugin
  • Check command file has proper .md extension
  • Verify frontmatter includes description

Hook Not Firing

  • Check hook event name is correct
  • Verify settings.json syntax
  • Test hook command independently in shell

Subagent Not Available

  • Confirm .md file is in agents/ directory
  • Check YAML frontmatter is valid
  • Verify name field is lowercase with hyphens

Contributing

This is a personal/team toolkit, but contributions are welcome:

  1. Add new templates to templates/ directories
  2. Enhance generator Skills with better defaults
  3. Create additional validation subagents
  4. Share useful hook examples
