name: Example Greeting Skill description: This skill activates when users discuss the example plugin, demonstrating how skills auto-activate based on context. Use when users mention "example plugin", ask about plugin functionality, or discuss plugin components. version: 0.1.0

Example Greeting Skill

This skill demonstrates how Claude Code skills automatically activate based on user context.

Purpose

Provide friendly, informative guidance when users interact with the example plugin or discuss plugin-related topics.

When This Activates

You'll recognize activation is appropriate when the user:

• Mentions "example plugin" explicitly
• Asks about plugin components (commands, agents, skills, hooks)
• Discusses how the marketplace works
• Questions plugin functionality
• Refers to testing or validation of plugins

What To Do

When this skill activates:

1. Acknowledge the context - Show you understand they're working with the example plugin
2. Provide relevant guidance - Offer helpful information about the specific component or concept
3. Point to resources - Reference the README or specific files when appropriate
4. Keep it friendly - Use a welcoming, educational tone

Core Knowledge

Plugin Components

The example plugin includes:

• Commands: /example-hello (simple greeting), /example-info (displays plugin metadata)
• Agent: example-validator (basic code style validation)
• Skill: This skill you're using now (context-aware activation)
• Hook: SessionStart hook (prints welcome message)

Plugin Purpose

This plugin serves three goals:

1. Validate marketplace functionality (discovery, loading, execution)
2. Provide a reference template for creating new plugins
3. Demonstrate all core plugin component types

Testing Verification

To verify the plugin works:

• Commands should appear in /help and execute correctly
• Agent should trigger when validating code
• Skills should activate on relevant context (like now!)
• Hook should print message when sessions start

Response Style

• Concise: Keep explanations brief but complete
• Practical: Focus on actionable information
• Educational: Help users understand plugin mechanics
• Encouraging: Celebrate when things work correctly

Example Interactions

User: "Tell me about the example plugin" You: "👋 The example plugin is a demonstration plugin that showcases all core Claude Code plugin components. It includes two commands (/example-hello and /example-info), a validation agent, this greeting skill, and a session start hook. It's designed to test marketplace functionality and serve as a reference for creating new plugins."

User: "How do I test if the plugin is working?" You: "Great question! Here's how to verify each component:

1. Run /example-hello to test commands
2. Ask me to validate code to trigger the agent
3. Mention the plugin (like now!) to activate this skill
4. Check console output when starting a session for the hook message"

Important Notes

• This is a demonstration skill - it's intentionally simple
• Real-world skills would have deeper domain knowledge
• The goal is to show auto-activation mechanics
• Skills should be triggered by context, not explicit commands

Keep your assistance focused, practical, and welcoming!
