Update Component Reference Skill
Add documentation for Claude Code components (commands, agents, skills, hooks, MCP servers) to the website's Component Reference section.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user requests to:
- Add a new component to the Component Reference documentation
- Document a newly created command, agent, skill, hook, or MCP server
- Update component documentation in the reference section
Prerequisites Checklist
Before documenting a component, ensure:
- Component exists in the appropriate plugin directory:
- Commands: plugins/handbook/commands/{name}.md - Agents: plugins/handbook/agents/{name}.md - Skills: plugins/handbook/skills/{name}/SKILL.md - Hooks: plugins/{plugin-name}/hooks/hooks.json and hook scripts - MCP Servers: plugins/{plugin-name}/.mcp.json
- For skills only: Component is registered in plugin.json:
{"skills": ["./skills/skill-creator", "./skills/{new-skill-name}"]} - Verify plugin name: Check
.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonfor the badge (e.g., "handbook", "handbook-dotnet")
Implementation Process
Step 1: Determine Target Directory
Component documentation goes in: website/docs/component-reference/{type}/
- Commands →
website/docs/component-reference/commands/ - Agents →
website/docs/component-reference/agents/ - Skills →
website/docs/component-reference/skills/ - Hooks →
website/docs/component-reference/hooks/ - MCP Servers →
website/docs/component-reference/mcp-servers/
All category directories and _category_.json files already exist for these types.
Step 2: Determine sidebar_position
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 -nStep 3: Create Component Documentation File
Filename convention: Use kebab-case matching the component name
- Command
/commit→commit.mdx - Agent
@backend-architect→backend-architect.mdx - Skill
skill-creator→skill-creator.mdx - Hook
csharp-formatter→csharp-formatter.mdx - MCP Server
context7→context7.mdx
Step 4: Write MDX Content
Use the appropriate template based on component type:
Commands Template
---
title: "/command-name"
sidebar_position: N
---
import CommandNameSource from '!!raw-loader!../../../../plugins/handbook/commands/command-name.md'
import CodeBlock from '@theme/CodeBlock';
# Use `/command-name`
<span className="badge badge--handbook">handbook</span>
Brief description of what this command does (1-2 sentences).
More detailed explanation of the command's purpose and benefits.
## Command Specification
<CodeBlock language="markdown">
{CommandNameSource}
</CodeBlock>

---
title: "@agent-name"
sidebar_position: N
---
import AgentNameSource from '!!raw-loader!../../../../plugins/handbook/agents/agent-name.md'
import CodeBlock from '@theme/CodeBlock';
# Use `@agent-name` agent
<span className="badge badge--handbook">handbook</span>
Brief description of what this agent specializes in (1-2 sentences).
More detailed explanation of the agent's capabilities and when to use it.
## Agent Specification
<CodeBlock language="markdown">

# Use `skill-name` skill
<span className="badge badge--handbook">handbook</span>

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.mdsuffix
The path goes up 4 directories (../../../../) from the .mdx file to reach the repo root.
Common Pitfalls
- 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
- 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)
- Wrong relative path depth (commands, agents, skills only)
- Always use 4 levels up: ../../../../ - Path starts from the .mdx file location
- Inconsistent naming
- File names should match component names exactly (kebab-case) - Title in frontmatter should include prefix (/ for commands, @ for agents)
- 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→CommitCommandSourcebackend-architect.md→BackendArchitectAgentSourceskill-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:
- Badge CSS: Add style to
website/src/css/custom.css(pick unique color) - 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"
- Verify component exists:
plugins/handbook/agents/pair-programmer.md✓ - Check it's an agent (auto-discovered, no plugin.json needed) ✓
- Find next sidebar_position in
website/docs/component-reference/agents/ - Create
website/docs/component-reference/agents/pair-programmer.mdx - Write content using agent template
- Import using:
'!!raw-loader!../../../../plugins/handbook/agents/pair-programmer.md' - Verify documentation renders correctly
