Manage plugins and connectors

 
 Apart from the optional icon, everything in an archive must be text in UTF-8. There is no way to ship a script, or any other binary asset such as an image, through the card, which is narrower than what members can add to skills on their own devices. File and folder names must be ASCII. Nothing in the archive may start with a dot apart from `.claude-plugin/` and a root `.mcp.json`: repository files such as `.github/` or `.gitattributes` must be left out, while `.gitignore` and `.DS_Store` are dropped for you.
 
-Paths inside the zip must use forward slashes: File Explorer's **Compress to ZIP file**, 7-Zip, `tar.exe`, PowerShell 7, and Python's `zipfile` all write them, while Windows PowerShell 5.1's `Compress-Archive` can write backslash paths, which the upload rejects. A zip that wraps everything in one top folder, which is what zipping the plugin folder or downloading a repository as a ZIP produces, works, as long as the repository holds no other dot-prefixed files. The upload looks inside the wrapper. Apple's `__MACOSX/` folders are dropped quietly too, and an archive can hold up to 50 MB of uncompressed content.

 Inside `skills/`, each skill is one folder holding a `SKILL.md` whose frontmatter `name` matches the folder name, with any reference files beside it. A bare skill archive, such as a zip of just the skill folder or a `.skill` file from Claude Desktop, is not a plugin: add the manifest and move the folder under `skills/` to convert it. For the path from writing a skill to delivering it, see [Building and deploying your own skills](/docs/government/desktop/skills#building-and-deploying-your-own-skills).
