Auto-generate Claude Code plugin manifest for repos

[lesaai]

What

When the DevOps Toolbox runs on a repo (via wip-release or wip-install), it should detect the repo's interfaces and offer to generate a .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest. This makes any tool discoverable as a Claude Code plugin.

How it works

1. Run Universal Installer interface detection on the repo
2. If the repo has skills, hooks, MCP servers, or agents... ask: "Want to make this a Claude Code plugin?"
3. If yes, generate .claude-plugin/plugin.json with the right fields (name, version, description from package.json)
4. Generate the directory structure CC expects (skills/, hooks/, .mcp.json as needed)
5. Commit it to the repo

Important

This is for anyone using the toolbox, not just us. The prompt should be aware that the user might have their own marketplace or might just want local plugin support. Don't assume wipcomputer.

For our pipeline

For wipcomputer repos, this should be automatic as part of wip-release. No prompt needed. Generate the manifest, update the marketplace repo.
