# Component Patterns

> Decide which plugin component type to use and how to organize components at scale. Covers the component lifecycle (discovery and activation phases), decision framework for choosing between commands, skills, agents, hooks, and MCP servers, and organization patterns for each component type. Use when asking "which component type should I use", "command vs skill vs agent", "when to use a hook vs MCP server", "component lifecycle", "how to organize plugin components", "plugin structure patterns", or "scale a plugin with many components".
