**The Claude plugin manifest for Humanizer is located at [`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json) in the repository root.**

The Humanizer skill integrates with Claude through a standardized plugin manifest that defines entry points and metadata. Developers working with the blader/humanizer repository need to locate this JSON configuration to install the skill or understand its integration points. The manifest resides in a hidden directory and references the main skill definition file.

## Exact Location of the Claude Plugin Manifest

According to the source code structure in blader/humanizer, the Claude plugin manifest is stored in a dedicated hidden directory to separate plugin metadata from the core application code.

### Primary Manifest File

The definitive location for the plugin configuration is:

- **File Path:** [`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json)
- **Repository:** blader/humanizer
- **Direct URL:** https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

This JSON file serves as the registration point for the Humanizer skill within Claude's plugin ecosystem. It specifies the entry point as [`SKILL.md`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/SKILL.md) and contains version information required by Claude's plugin loader.

### Directory Structure

The `.claude-plugin` directory contains multiple configuration files that work together:

```

.claude-plugin/
├── plugin.json      # Main manifest file

└── marketplace.json # Optional publishing metadata

```

The [`plugin.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/plugin.json) file is the critical component that Claude parses when loading the Humanizer skill.

## Manifest Contents and Configuration

The [`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json) file follows Claude's standard plugin schema. It registers the Humanizer skill and points to the main skill definition.

### Key Configuration Values

The manifest specifies:

- **Plugin ID:** `humanizer`
- **Entry Point:** [`SKILL.md`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/SKILL.md) (located in repository root)
- **Version:** Defined in the manifest metadata

### Referencing the Manifest

When configuring Claude to use the Humanizer skill, reference the manifest URL directly:

```json
{
  "plugin_id": "humanizer",
  "manifest_url": "https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json",
  "entrypoint": "SKILL.md"
}

```

For command-line installation workflows, you would target the manifest URL:

```bash
claude plugin install https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

```

Note that the CLI command illustrates the manifest reference pattern; actual execution depends on your specific Claude CLI implementation and version.

## Related Configuration Files

Several files in the repository work alongside the Claude plugin manifest to provide complete skill functionality:

- **[`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json)** - Contains optional metadata for publishing the plugin to Claude's marketplace. Located at [`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json).
- **[`SKILL.md`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/SKILL.md)** - The actual Humanizer skill definition that Claude executes. This is referenced by the manifest as the entry point.
- **[`README.md`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/README.md)** - General documentation, installation instructions, and usage guidelines.
- **[`AGENTS.md`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/AGENTS.md)** - Maintenance guidelines for keeping skill files synchronized and properly maintained.

These files collectively define how Humanizer integrates with Claude, with [`plugin.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/plugin.json) serving as the authoritative entry point.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What format does the Claude plugin manifest use?

The Claude plugin manifest uses standard JSON format. The [`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json) file contains structured metadata including the plugin identifier, version information, and references to the skill entry point.

### Can I install the Humanizer skill directly from the manifest URL?

Yes, you can reference the manifest URL `https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` when configuring Claude to load the Humanizer skill. The manifest tells Claude where to find the skill definition and how to initialize it.

### What is the relationship between plugin.json and SKILL.md?

The [`plugin.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/plugin.json) manifest references [`SKILL.md`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/SKILL.md) as its entry point. While the manifest provides metadata and registration information for Claude's plugin system, [`SKILL.md`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/SKILL.md) contains the actual instructions and logic that define the Humanizer skill's behavior.

### Is the .claude-plugin directory required for all Claude skills?

Yes, Claude skills follow a convention where plugin manifests reside in the `.claude-plugin` directory. This hidden directory separates plugin configuration from source code and is the standard location where Claude looks for [`plugin.json`](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/blob/main/plugin.json) when loading skills from a repository.
