adobe-plugin-dev

Claude Code skill for building Adobe Creative Cloud plugins with UXP (Unified Extensibility Platform).

Scaffold, build, debug, and ship InDesign plugins (extensible to Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects) — Claude handles the boilerplate, DOM differences, and tricky UXP gotchas.

What it covers

• UXP plugin structure (manifest, entrypoints, panels vs. commands vs. scripts)
• InDesign DOM + scripting APIs (full reference included)
• Shared UXP patterns across CC apps (uxp-common.md)
• Local dev + UDT debugging workflow
• Packaging + distribution via Creative Cloud Marketplace

Install (Claude Code)

/plugin marketplace add nic3rafs/adobe-plugin-dev
/plugin install adobe-plugin-dev@adobe-plugin-dev

Usage

Ask Claude anything like:

• "Build an InDesign plugin that renumbers paragraphs"
• "Create a UXP panel for Photoshop that exports layers to PNG"
• "Migrate my CEP extension to UXP"
• "Add a script to auto-apply paragraph styles in InDesign"

The skill auto-activates on UXP / Adobe-plugin mentions.
