feat: add Claude Code skill and plugin support

[Copilot]

Adds Claude Code support using the official Claude Code plugin and skills format, so developers can use the GMP Code Assist MCP server natively in Claude Code with proper skill-based context.

New files

• .claude-plugin/plugin.json — Claude Code plugin manifest, enabling this repository to function as an installable Claude Code plugin.
• .mcp.json — MCP server configuration wiring up @googlemaps/code-assist-mcp@latest via stdio transport.
• skills/google-maps-platform/SKILL.md — Proper Claude Code skill definition with YAML frontmatter (name, description, license, allowed-tools) and markdown body containing tool usage order, trigger conditions, and guidelines. Follows the official Agent Skills spec.
• CLAUDE.md — Concise project-level context file automatically read by Claude Code when working in this directory.

Updated

• README.md — Updated Claude Code section to document the plugin-based installation using claude mcp add.

Installation (Claude Code)

claude mcp add google-maps-platform-code-assist -- npx -y @googlemaps/code-assist-mcp@latest

The skills/google-maps-platform/SKILL.md skill is automatically available to Claude Code when this repository is cloned locally or used as a plugin source.

@copilot completely redesign this around https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills

Redesigned in efc1a36 around the proper Claude Code skills/plugin format. The new structure matches https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills and the official Anthropic plugin pattern:

• .claude-plugin/plugin.json — plugin manifest (replaces the fake claude-skill.json)
• .mcp.json — MCP server config for @googlemaps/code-assist-mcp
• skills/google-maps-platform/SKILL.md — proper skill with YAML frontmatter (name, description, license, allowed-tools) and markdown body with tool usage instructions and trigger conditions
• CLAUDE.md — simplified to brief project-level context (skill instructions now live where they belong, in SKILL.md)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
