Plugin manifest in wrong location — move to .claude-plugin/plugin.json #1

Description

@toejough

Problem

The plugin manifest is at the top-level plugin.json. Claude Code expects it at .claude-plugin/plugin.json per the plugin reference docs.

This doesn't cause functional issues currently since commit has no hooks, but it's not following the standard plugin structure and could cause problems if hooks are added later.

What to do

  1. Create .claude-plugin/plugin.json with the current contents of plugin.json (name + description only, no hooks)
  2. Delete the top-level plugin.json
  3. Verify the plugin still installs and works after the change

Reference

The standard plugin layout per Claude Code docs:

my-plugin/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   └── plugin.json      ← manifest goes here
├── commands/
├── skills/
└── hooks/
