# Marketplace Manager Guidelines for authoring, appending, and distributing plugin marketplace catalogs. ## Step 1: Initialize the Marketplace To create a new marketplace: 1. **Create directory**: Create a dedicated git repository or local path for the catalog. 2. **Create config directory**: Create a `.claude-plugin/` directory at the root. 3. **Create catalog file**: Create a `marketplace.json` file inside `.claude-plugin/`. 4.

Names that impersonate official marketplaces (e.g. `official-claude-plugins`) are also blocked. ## Step 2: Add Plugin Entries To add entries to your marketplace `plugins` list: 1.

Must start with `./`. > **Note**: Relati
