[FEATURE] Native support for Claude Code Plugin Format #179

Description

@stbenjam

Feature Description

I would love to use Lola, but the biggest gap for me is missing support for Claude's Marketplace and Plugin Format.

If there's going to be an industry standard, it will be this. It is complete: versioning, tagging, LSP, MCP's, glob-based rules, skills, agents, commands and hooks.

OpenCode (with plugins) and APM (agent package manager, a competing projects) both consume this format flawlessly.

Agent skills are not the only contextual building blogs, AgentSkills.io only gets you maybe 60-70% of the way there, and there's not really any truly competetive marketplace/plugin format except Anthropic's.

Problem or Use Case

It is the most widespread format out there, there are many marketplaces (superpowers, claude's official one, etc).

We use plugins for versioned releases of curated tools: https://github.com/openshift-eng/ai-helpers/blob/main/plugins/openshift-developer/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

This pulls in MCP's, LSP's, as well as a number of skills and commands, deploys natively with Claude Code, and can be injected into essentially any harness out there with APM.

Proposed Solution

Complete support for Claude Marketplace and Plugin format, over Lola's native one.

Alternatives Considered

An alternative to this is... just take the best ideas from Lola and contribute them back to https://github.com/microsoft/apm, it is a larger project with more momentum that fulfills all my needs currently. I have a hard time seeing what differentiator Lola is working towards that needs a duplicative effort.
