fix(agent-development): optimize description for capacity and clarity (#27)
## Description Optimizes the agent-development skill description to improve capacity headroom and follow documentation best practices. ## Type of Change - [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue) - [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality) - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected) - [ ] Documentation update (improvements to README, CLAUDE.md, or component docs) - [x] Refactoring (code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature) - [ ] Configuration change (changes to .markdownlint.json, plugin.json, etc.) ## Component(s) Affected - [ ] Commands (`/plugin-dev:*`) - [x] Skills (methodology and best practices) - [ ] Agents (requirements-assistant) - [ ] Hooks (UserPromptSubmit) - [ ] Documentation (README.md, CLAUDE.md, SECURITY.md) - [ ] Configuration (.markdownlint.json, plugin.json, marketplace.json) - [ ] Issue/PR templates - [ ] Other (please specify): ## Motivation and Context The agent-development skill description needed optimization per issue recommendations: 1. **Added "what it provides" clause** - Description was ~90% trigger phrases, now starts with purpose 2. **Condensed redundant trigger phrases** - Reduced from 579 → 424 characters (27% reduction) 3. **Removed duplicate suffix** - "for Claude Code plugins" appeared at both start and end 4. **Improved structure** - Follows docs recommendation: "description should include both what the Skill does AND when to use it" **Result**: 600 characters of headroom for future trigger phrase additions. Fixes #23 ## How Has This Been Tested? **Test Configuration**: - OS: macOS Darwin 25.1.0 - Testing method: Character count verification **Test Steps**: 1. Verified original description: 579 characters 2. Applied optimizations per issue recommendations 3. Verified new description: 424 characters (✅ under 900 target) 4. Ran `markdownlint` - no errors ## Checklist ### General - [x] My code follows the style guidelines of this project - [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code - [x] My changes generate no new warnings or errors ### Documentation - [x] I have updated YAML frontmatter (if applicable) ### Markdown - [x] I have run `markdownlint` and fixed all issues ### Component-Specific Checks #### Skills (if applicable) - [x] Description uses third-person with specific trigger phrases - [x] SKILL.md is under 2,000 words (progressive disclosure) ### Testing - [x] I have tested the plugin locally ## Additional Notes **Before (579 chars)**: ``` This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "design an agent for [task]", "how do I write agent descriptions", "what are the agent frontmatter fields", "validate my agent", "test agent triggering", "how to restrict agent tools", "what colors can agents use", "autonomous agent", "difference between agent and skill", "agent vs command", "when should I use an agent", "agent schema", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins. ``` **After (424 chars)**: ``` This skill provides comprehensive agent development guidance for Claude Code plugins. Use when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "validate my agent", "test agent triggering", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", "agent vs skill", "agent vs command", "when to use agents", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, or triggering conditions. ``` --- 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Architecture Note
30+
31+
This repo has two levels of `.claude-plugin/`:
32+
33+
- **Root level**: `/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` - Marketplace manifest listing available plugins
34+
- **Plugin level**: `/plugins/plugin-dev/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` - Individual plugin manifest
35+
36+
When testing locally, point to the plugin directory, not the root.
