Plugin Manifest Schema

The toolkit follows Anthropic’s plugin spec — a single marketplace manifest at the repo root listing each plugin, plus a per-plugin manifest under each plugin directory.

marketplace.json (root)

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json lists every plugin shipped by this marketplace. Plugins must appear in alphabetical order by name — CI will check this once the validators land in V1.5 (see CI Validators).

{
  "name": "acn-claude-toolkit",
  "owner": { "name": "ACN FDE Platform" },
  "plugins": [
    { "name": "acn-base-sdlc",       "source": "./plugins/acn-base-sdlc" },
    { "name": "acn-pursuit-toolkit", "source": "./plugins/acn-pursuit-toolkit" },
    { "name": "acn-slide-gen",       "source": "./plugins/acn-slide-gen" }
  ]
}

source is a relative path to the plugin directory.

plugin.json (per-plugin)

plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json describes a single plugin.

Required fields

Field	Type	Notes

Example

{
  "name": "acn-base-sdlc",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "description": "Universal SDLC engineering practices — /review, /tdd, /commit, /pr skills with ACN security/testing/documentation rules and code-reviewer / security-auditor / debugger agents",
  "author": {
    "name": "ACN FDE Platform",
    "email": "felix.i.n.d.alvez@accenture.com"
  },
  "keywords": ["sdlc", "code-review", "tdd", "pr", "commit", "acn"]
}

Plugin contents

A plugin directory must contain plugin.json plus at least one of:

• skills/<name>/SKILL.md — slash-command-invocable workflows
• rules/<topic>.md — always-on system context
• agents/<name>.md — specialist subagents
• commands/ — alternate slash-command location
• hooks/ — event hooks

A plugin with only a manifest does nothing. See Adding a Plugin for the new-plugin workflow.
