Claude Plugin Compatibility

CodeWhale treats Claude Code skill folders as instruction bundles when they are plain SKILL.md directories. It does not run Claude Code plugin runtimes.

Supported

  • Workspace or global .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md directories discovered by the normal skill registry.
  • GitHub or tarball installs that contain one selected skill directory such as skills/<name>/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md, or a nested package layout ending in skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
  • Companion files inside the selected skill directory, such as references/, examples/, or scripts that are only used after the skill is explicitly loaded and trusted.

Not Supported As A Plugin Runtime

Claude Code plugin features remain outside the v0.8.60 compatibility boundary:

  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json metadata and activation semantics.
  • Custom slash-command bundles.
  • Plugin build steps, compiled TypeScript agents, dashboard servers, shared plugin state, or token-gated service processes.
  • Frontmatter fields that require Claude-specific runtime behavior, such as model: inherit.

If a Claude Code plugin repository contains multiple skills, install or migrate one skills/<name> directory at a time. /skill install rejects multi-skill plugin archives with a clear message so it never silently chooses one skill and drops the plugin runtime behavior.

For richer integrations, wrap the plugin's executable surface as MCP, hooks, or a CodeWhale skill that names the external command explicitly.
