587589 * A directory named `.claude`: the `skills`, `agents`, and `commands` directories inside it
588590 * Any other directory: those three directories under its `.claude`

592When the directory holds both a `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` and a `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, Claude Code validates the marketplace and also the plugin's manifest and component files. This requires Claude Code v2.1.289 or later.

592596* **A linked `skills`, `agents`, or `commands` directory under the plugin or `.claude` root**: Claude Code warns that nothing in it was read.
from line 601

598602* **A `SKILL.md` at the plugin root**: when you run `claude plugin validate` against a plugin directory, Claude Code doesn't check a `SKILL.md` at the plugin root
599603* **A `CLAUDE.md` at the plugin root**: in a plugin run, Claude Code also warns about a `CLAUDE.md` at the plugin root
600* **Plugin files in a marketplace run**: from a marketplace directory, Claude Code doesn't open the plugins' skill, agent, command, or hook files, or the MCP server files they bundle. To find errors in those files, validate each plugin directory
604* **Plugin files in a marketplace run**: from a marketplace directory, Claude Code doesn't open the skill, agent, command, or hook files of plugins the marketplace lists in other directories, or the MCP server files they bundle. To find errors in those files, validate each plugin directory
