update-component-referenceThis skill should be used when the user wants to add components (commands, agents, skills, hooks, or MCP servers) to the Component Reference section of the website.
Update Component Reference is an agent skill from NikiforovAll/claude-code-rules. This skill should be used when the user wants to add components (commands, agents, skills, hooks, or MCP servers) to the Component Reference section of the website.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers, Hooks and plugins and Markdown. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Learn practical techniques to enhance your AI-assisted development workflow with Claude Code. The licence is Apache-2.0.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 281c063. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mdx, json and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Update Component Reference loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 235 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use this skill when the user requests to:
Before documenting a component, ensure:
Component exists in the appropriate plugin directory:
plugins/handbook/commands/{name}.mdplugins/handbook/agents/{name}.mdplugins/handbook/skills/{name}/SKILL.mdplugins/{plugin-name}/hooks/hooks.json and hook scriptsplugins/{plugin-name}/.mcp.jsonFor skills only: Component is registered in plugin.json:
{
"skills": [
"./skills/skill-creator",
"./skills/{new-skill-name}"
]
}Verify plugin name: Check .claude-plugin/plugin.json for the badge (e.g., "handbook", "handbook-dotnet")
Component documentation goes in: website/docs/component-reference/{type}/
website/docs/component-reference/commands/website/docs/component-reference/agents/website/docs/component-reference/skills/website/docs/component-reference/hooks/website/docs/component-reference/mcp-servers/All category directories and _category_.json files already exist for these types.
Read existing .mdx files in the target directory to find the highest sidebar_position and add 1.
Example:
grep -h "sidebar_position:" website/docs/component-reference/skills/*.mdx | sort -nFilename convention: Use kebab-case matching the component name
/commit → commit.mdx@backend-architect → backend-architect.mdxskill-creator → skill-creator.mdxcsharp-formatter → csharp-formatter.mdxcontext7 → context7.mdxUse the appropriate template based on component type:
---
title: "/command-name"
sidebar_position: N

import CommandNameSource from '!!raw-loader!../../../../plugins/handbook/commands/command-name.md'
import CodeBlock from '@theme/CodeBlock';

#### MCP Servers Template

## Configuration

{ config from .mcp.json }"Example query"Setup notes.
### Step 5: Verify Import Paths (Commands, Agents, Skills Only)
**Note**: Hooks and MCP Servers show configuration directly (no raw-loader imports needed).
For commands, agents, and skills, double-check the raw-loader import path:
- Commands: `'!!raw-loader!../../../../plugins/handbook/commands/{name}.md'`
- Agents: `'!!raw-loader!../../../../plugins/handbook/agents/{name}.md'`
- Skills: `'!!raw-loader!../../../../plugins/handbook/skills/{name}/SKILL.md'` ⚠️ Note the `/SKILL.md` suffix
The path goes up 4 directories (`../../../../`) from the `.mdx` file to reach the repo root.
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Forgetting plugin.json registration for skills**
- Skills MUST be in plugin.json or they won't be available
- Commands, agents, hooks, and MCP servers are auto-discovered
2. **Incorrect import paths**
- Skills use `/SKILL.md` suffix: `skills/{name}/SKILL.md`
- Commands and agents use `.md` directly: `commands/{name}.md`
- Hooks and MCP servers don't use raw-loader (show config directly)
3. **Wrong relative path depth (commands, agents, skills only)**
- Always use 4 levels up: `../../../../`
- Path starts from the `.mdx` file location
4. **Inconsistent naming**
- File names should match component names exactly (kebab-case)
- Title in frontmatter should include prefix (`/` for commands, `@` for agents)
5. **Wrong plugin badge**
- Badge class follows pattern: `badge--{plugin-name}`
- Badge text is the plugin name (e.g., "handbook", "handbook-dotnet")
## Quick Reference
### Import Variable Naming Convention (Commands, Agents, Skills)
Match the component name in PascalCase + "Source":
- `commit.md` → `CommitCommandSource`
- `backend-architect.md` → `BackendArchitectAgentSource`
- `skill-creator/SKILL.md` → `SkillCreatorSource`
**Note**: Hooks and MCP servers don't use imports.
### Badge
Badge format: `<span className="badge badge--{plugin-name}">{plugin-name}</span>`
Examples:
- handbook: `<span className="badge badge--handbook">handbook</span>`
- handbook-dotnet: `<span className="badge badge--handbook-dotnet">handbook-dotnet</span>`
## Adding a New Plugin
When documenting components from a **new plugin**, also update:
1. **Badge CSS**: Add style to `website/src/css/custom.css` (pick unique color)
2. **Plugin index**: Add entry to `website/docs/plugins.md` (both main list and Direct Installation section)
## Example Workflow
**User**: "Add the new @pair-programmer agent to the documentation"
1. **Verify** component exists: `plugins/handbook/agents/pair-programmer.md` ✓
2. **Check** it's an agent (auto-discovered, no plugin.json needed) ✓
3. **Find** next sidebar_position in `website/docs/component-reference/agents/`
4. **Create** `website/docs/component-reference/agents/pair-programmer.mdx`
5. **Write** content using agent template
6. **Import** using: `'!!raw-loader!../../../../plugins/handbook/agents/pair-programmer.md'`
7. **Verify** documentation renders correctly© NikiforovAll, Apache-2.0. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file
