Where to Find the Claude Plugin Manifest for Humanizer

The Claude plugin manifest for Humanizer is located at .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
• 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 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 file is the critical component that Claude parses when loading the Humanizer skill.

Manifest Contents and Configuration

The .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 (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:

{
  "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:

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

• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json - Contains optional metadata for publishing the plugin to Claude's marketplace. Located at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.

• README.md - General documentation, installation instructions, and usage guidelines.

These files collectively define how Humanizer integrates with Claude, with plugin.json serving as the authoritative entry point.
