GAP-L1-P0-claude-code-plugin-component-types

Current state

The Plugin and NativeExtension NodeKinds enumerate contains_skill, contains_subagent, contains_tool_server edges. There is no representation of:

• **LSP servers** (.lsp.json) — a new component type giving Claude real-time code intelligence
• **Background monitors** (monitors/monitors.json) — long-running stdout-emitting processes that surface notifications
• **bin/ directory** — plugin-provided executables added to PATH
• **Plugin-shipped settings.json** — currently scoped to agent and subagentStatusLine
• **.claude-plugin/plugin.json** manifest path (current example uses plugin.json at root)
• **Skills vs. commands distinction** — Claude Code now treats commands/ as legacy "flat markdown skills" and skills/ as the canonical form
• **disable-model-invocation** frontmatter on SKILL.md
• **/reload-plugins** lifecycle event

Desired state

• New NodeKinds: LSPServer, BackgroundMonitor, BinaryProvider.
• New edges: Plugin contains_lsp_server LSPServer, Plugin contains_monitor BackgroundMonitor, Plugin contains_bin BinaryProvider, Plugin ships_settings SettingsTemplate.
• Extend Skill with disableModelInvocation: bool, argumentsToken: string (e.g. $ARGUMENTS), entrypoint enum to distinguish SKILL.md vs flat-markdown-command.
• Extend Plugin with manifestPath attribute (.claude-plugin/plugin.json).
• Add HookSurface instances for ReloadPlugins, MonitorEvent.

• https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference

Propagation status

• Level 1: open
• Level 2: not-started — 02-node-kinds/extensions-plugins.md needs three new sections; coverage-checklist.md Plugin section needs three new rows
• Level 3+: cascade

Propagation chain

• Level 1: add NodeKinds + edges + 1 example each in schema/examples/extensions/.
• Level 2: update 02-node-kinds/extensions-plugins.md and 03-edge-kinds.md.

Notes

LSP and background monitors are entirely new component types — they don't fit any existing NodeKind. This is real Claude Code product surface evolution, P0.

Resolution (2026-04-28)

Closed. NodeKinds LSPServer, BackgroundMonitor, BinaryProvider, SettingsTemplate were added in earlier passes (per the user-provided audit hint). Edges Plugin contains_lsp_server, Plugin contains_monitor, Plugin contains_bin, Plugin ships_settings are present in 03-edge-kinds.md.
