PR #756 normalized most marketplace versions to 2.9.0, but 20 newer
plugins (added after the normalization pass) remained on their own
versions on both marketplace.json and their plugin.json. Bump them all
to 2.9.0 so the registry advertises one unified release version, with
marketplace.json and every plugin.json fully in sync (62/62 at 2.9.0).

New engineering/workflow-builder plugin: an intake-first skill that designs
and writes deterministic multi-agent workflow .js files for Claude Code's
Workflow tool (CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOWS=1, /workflows).
- Opens every session with the intake question set; when the user is vague,
a stdlib recommendation engine infers and proposes a topology with rationale
instead of stalling or interrogating in a loop.
- 3 stdlib Python tools: workflow_intake.py (topology + model + budget +
rationale recommender), validate_workflow.py (.js linter enforcing
pure-literal-meta / no-non-determinism / no-Node-APIs / parallel-thunk /
guarded-loop rules), scaffold_workflow.py (5-topology starter generator).
- 3 references (7-8 sources each): API surface, orchestration patterns,
decision + intake guide. 3 templates + a runnable PR-triage example.
- cs-workflow-architect agent + /cs:workflow-build command.
- Registered in marketplace.json (61 -> 62 plugins).
Conceptually inspired by Ray Amjad's claude-code-workflow-creator; all content
written fresh from the publicly-documented Workflow tool API.
Gates: description PASS, structure PASS (78 lines), review-checklist WARN
(skill vs Workflow tool terminology — official feature name), complexity 85/100.
All scripts pass --help/--sample; all shipped .js validate PASS.

CI's structure validator and Tessl quality review both expect the
repo's canonical Path-B layout (plugin root with .claude-plugin/,
agents/, commands/, skills/<name>/ subfolders) used by every other
engineering skill — caveman, grill-me, handoff, write-a-skill.
The flat layout shipped initially scored 42.9/100 internally and 0/100
on Tessl. After wrapping:
- SKILL.md and references moved under skills/claude-coach/
- 3 stdlib Python tools added: cheat_code_filter, prompt_rater,
coach_tip_classifier (5-gate decision tree)
- cs-claude-coach agent persona + /cs:claude-coach slash command
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest (canonical "./skills/claude-coach" form)
- SKILL.md frontmatter extended with Tier/Category/Author/Dependencies
fields the validator requires; spec body content preserved
- SKILL.md picks up Name/Description/Features/Usage/Examples sections
appended below the original body so the validator's required-sections
check passes without disturbing the original coaching instructions
- coach_tip_classifier inlines a minimal prompt scorer instead of
cross-importing prompt_rater, eliminating the auditor's sys.path
finding
Local verification:
- Structure validator: 100.0/100 EXCELLENT (0 failed checks)
- Security auditor: PASS (0 critical/high/info findings)
- All 3 scripts pass --help and --sample
https://claude.ai/code/session_01KUWQ32LyRMFxYPN4VnhJsY
A coaching layer that teaches Claude power-user techniques on first
activation, then surfaces at most one tip per response when it spots a
missed opportunity. Hard rules: answer the user first, max one tip per
turn, silence is the default. Ships SKILL.md, a ranked cheat-codes
glossary, and explicit coaching rules to prevent over-coaching.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01KUWQ32LyRMFxYPN4VnhJsY
Resolves#712 and #714.
Claude Code's plugin spec (code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference) requires
"All paths must be relative to the plugin root and start with ./". CC 2.1.144+
rejects the bare "skills" form with `Validation errors: skills: Invalid input`,
breaking plugin installs from this repo.
Changes:
- 47 plugin.json manifests migrated from "skills": "skills" → ["./skills"]
(canonical post-CC 2.1.144 form, also accepts string "./skills")
- scripts/check_plugin_json.py rewritten to enforce the live spec:
* Hard-fails on non-"./"-prefixed strings (except the legacy "skills" literal)
* Hard-fails on empty strings/arrays and non-string array entries
* Emits WARN (non-fatal) on the legacy "skills" literal as a safety net
for copied templates — the WARN tolerance can be removed later
* Tested against all four canonical forms + 3 garbage forms
- CLAUDE.md §5 rewritten to document the live spec, including the historical
context of the v2.1.107 → v2.1.144 regression window that's now closed
- 15 stale broken symlinks under .gemini/skills/ removed (orphans from older
reorgs that the sync script didn't prune because its cleanup is disabled)
Verification:
- scripts/check_plugin_json.py --all → 0 FAIL, 0 WARN, exit 0 (69 files OK)
- pytest tests/ → 2103 passed
- find . -type l ! -exec test -e {} \; → 0 broken symlinks
- Live spec forms tested: ["./"], ["./skills"], "./skills", ["./a","./b"] all pass
- Garbage forms rejected: bare "./", empty array, non-string entries, plain strings
Claude Code 2.1.133+ rejects "skills": "./skills" with a "Path escapes
plugin directory" warning, even though ./skills resolves to a valid
subdirectory inside the plugin root. Per the upstream docs example, the
correct value is "skills" (no ./ prefix), which works across all CC
versions and other tools (Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.).
Applied to all 47 plugin.json files that used "./skills"; updated
CLAUDE.md ClawHub publishing constraints to document the new convention
and reference the issue.
Surgical move PR — resolves the two domain warts accumulated during
the v2 megaprompt build sweep:
engineering/pulse/ → research/pulse/ (research-pack — pulse is
the first research skill;
now joins litreview, grants,
dossier, patent, syllabus)
engineering/capture/ → productivity/capture/ (productivity — capture
is brain-dump organizer,
not engineering tooling)
WHY THIS PR
When Slice 1 (capture) shipped in PR #659, the productivity/ domain
folder didn't yet exist. When Slice 2 (pulse) shipped in PR #660, the
research/ folder didn't yet exist either. Both were placed in
engineering/ as the catch-all.
After Slices 3-5 established the productivity/, marketing/, and
research/ top-level domain folders, those two early skills were left
in engineering/ as warts. This PR resolves them BEFORE Slice 7
(13-research orchestrator) so the orchestrator can reference
research/pulse/ as its routing target without further path churn.
WHAT MOVED
Two directories moved via `git mv` (preserves rename history):
- engineering/pulse → research/pulse (11 files)
- engineering/capture → productivity/capture (11 files)
INTERNAL REFERENCES UPDATED
Inside the moved directories:
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json homepage URLs (engineering/X → new path)
- agents/cs-*.md `skills:` frontmatter field
CROSS-SKILL REFERENCES UPDATED
6 external files reference pulse and/or capture as sibling skills.
All updated via sed:
productivity/email/agents/cs-inbox-setup.md (capture ref)
productivity/email/agents/cs-inbox-triage.md (pulse + capture refs)
research/grants/agents/cs-grants.md (pulse ref)
research/litreview/agents/cs-litreview.md (pulse ref + stale
"will move in cleanup
PR" caveat removed)
research/dossier/agents/cs-dossier.md (pulse ref)
marketing/landing/agents/cs-landing.md (pulse + capture refs)
CODEX SYMLINKS RE-POINTED
.codex/skills/{capture,pulse} symlinks updated to point at new
locations. Verified resolution to SKILL.md files works.
.codex/skills-index.json still references the old paths — this file
is auto-regenerated by the codex-sync workflow on every merge to dev
(prior commits: 9a47d85, bf5d4c2, f0176e0). Will regenerate fully
when this PR merges.
VERIFIED CLEAN
- `grep -rn 'engineering/pulse\|engineering/capture'` returns zero
results outside .codex/skills-index.json (which auto-regenerates).
- Moved scripts smoke-tested from new locations:
productivity/capture/skills/capture/scripts/workspace_inventory.py
--sample → returns inventory correctly
research/pulse/skills/pulse/scripts/citation_tracker.py
--action list → returns empty (no sessions) as expected
- Symlinks resolve: `.codex/skills/capture/SKILL.md` and
`.codex/skills/pulse/SKILL.md` both readable.
POST-CLEANUP STATE
Domain folders contain only domain-appropriate skills:
engineering/ — software-engineering tools (Matt Pocock skills,
agenthub, caveman, grill-me, grill-with-docs,
handoff, write-a-skill, 20+ other engineering
skills)
productivity/ — capture (new), email pair (inbox-setup +
inbox-triage)
marketing/ — landing
research/ — pulse (new), litreview, grants, dossier,
patent, syllabus
This matches the CLAUDE.md navigation map's domain definitions and
removes the two cumulative warts.
REMAINING WORK (after this merges)
☐ Slice 6: notebooklm (browser-automation, last shape)
☐ Slice 7: 13-research orchestrator + autoresearch-agent reconciliation
☐ Slice 8: 02-reflect (productivity sibling of capture)
9 of 13 v2 megaprompts shipped. 3 remaining + this cleanup.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01FEUmeuYhmnxVFq7EZM8ZSw
Vertical-slice install: first of 13 skills derived directly from the
v2 megaprompts (PR #657, merged). Validates the Path-B conversion
pattern (megaprompt → SKILL.md + scaffolding) before batching the
remaining 12 specs.
SOURCE SPEC
megaprompts/05-capture-megaprompt.md (PR #657). The megaprompt is the
canonical spec; this plugin is the working implementation. Drift
between the two is a bug — re-grill with /cs:grill-with-docs if they
diverge.
WHAT THE SKILL DOES
Brain-dump organizer. Catches an unstructured stream of mixed
thoughts/tasks/ideas and transforms it into a 4-section actionable
system (Projects/Ideas, Tasks, Connections, How I Can Help) with zero
information loss. Fast-to-action by design — no upfront intake.
Asks at most ONE mid-organization clarifying question (only when one
item is genuinely ambiguous between task and project). Workspace
detection is real (Glob/Grep) — never fabricates connections.
Compressed output for small dumps (≤5 unrelated items).
PATH-B CONVERSION DISCIPLINE
- Frontmatter description preserved verbatim from megaprompt spec.
- Workflow structure (megaprompt lines 38-48) became SKILL.md
section ordering 1:1.
- 5 operating principles, 4 sections, anti-patterns list, validation
checklist all preserved with minimal restructuring.
- Some megaprompt prose offloaded into the 3 reference files (the
wrapper additions). Net SKILL.md ~1,800 words, within the
megaprompt's 1,400-2,000 word budget.
- Trigger phrases all surfaced verbatim in SKILL.md "Invocation
Triggers" section.
REPO STRUCTURE (mirrors grill-with-docs 1:1)
engineering/capture/
├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json ← source.spec field points at megaprompt
├── README.md
├── agents/cs-capture.md ← persona, no-fabrication enforcer
├── commands/cs-capture.md ← /cs:capture <dump>
└── skills/capture/
├── SKILL.md ← Path-B converted from megaprompt

└── complexity_estimator.py ← stdlib full-vs-compressed recommender
11 files, 1,560 lines. Comparable to grill-with-docs (13 files,
1,747 lines) — capture is leaner because it has no separate format
files (Matt's grill-with-docs ships ADR-FORMAT.md + CONTEXT-FORMAT.md
verbatim alongside SKILL.md; capture's spec is fully self-contained).
VERIFIED CLEAN
- All 3 scripts pass `--help`, `--sample`, and `--output json`.
- workspace_inventory.py: correctly Glob+Greps embedded sample tree
(6 files, 5 folders), surfaces auth+login matches with line numbers.
- dump_classifier.py: labels 13-item sample dump (4 context, 4 task,
2 project-component, 2 question, 1 decision). Known limitation:
verbs like "Brief" / "Rewrite" / "Do" not in task-trigger regex
list — heuristic, documented in script docstring.
- complexity_estimator.py: correctly recommends format=full on 14-item
4-cluster dump and format=compressed on 5-item 0-cluster dump.
- plugin.json validates as JSON; conforms to repo's plugin schema
(name, description, version, author, homepage, repository, license,
skills + optional source attribution block).
VERTICAL-SLICE STATUS
This is Slice 1 of 13. Megaprompt shapes covered:
✓ Light prompt-flow (this slice — 02-reflect transfers cleanly)
☐ Research-pack (01-pulse, 03, 08-12) — Slice 2
☐ Workflow-pair (06+07 email) — Slice 3
☐ Generator (04-landing) — Slice 4
☐ Orchestrator/router (13-research) — Slice 5; reconcile with
existing engineering/autoresearch-agent/
After Slice 2 validates the research-pack conversion pattern (which
includes the cross-skill consistency rules audited in PR #657), the
remaining 11 skills can be batched.
NOT DONE IN THIS PR
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json not updated (separate concern;
would be done in a marketplace-bundle PR after all 13 ship)
- .codex/skills/capture symlink not added (auto-sync workflow handles
this on merge per the existing pattern — see commit 6a9abc9 for
grill-with-docs)
https://claude.ai/code/session_01FEUmeuYhmnxVFq7EZM8ZSw
Follow-up to v2.6.0. Uses the audit_skills.py tool (shipped in #646) to identify
real bugs vs validator false-positives across 298 repo skills, then fixes both.
Three coordinated changes:
1. Validator trigger pattern expansion (write-a-skill internal tools)
- Old: only "Use when", "Use for", "Invoke when", "Trigger when" recognized
- New: + "Use before/during/after/while", "Invoke before/after", "Apply when",
"Run when/before"
- Why: 11 legacy skills had semantically-valid triggers (e.g., gdpr-audit-prep
says "Use before annual GDPR review") that the v2.6.0 validator wrongly
flagged as missing. Natural English variants now accepted.
- Impact: 30 skills reclassified from FAIL → WARN/PASS automatically.
- Karpathy complexity: 100/100 (PASS) on both modified validators.
2. Ten placeholder descriptions fixed in engineering/skills/
The audit revealed 21 skills (~7% of repo) with broken descriptions that
were literally just the skill name (e.g., description: "Migration Architect").
These were real bugs from a v2.0.0 batch import where the description field
was never filled in. Top-10 fixed in this PR (POWERFUL-tier, high-visibility):
- migration-architect: zero-downtime migration planning + rollback strategy
- dependency-auditor: vulnerabilities + license + safe-upgrade audit
- codebase-onboarding: codebase analysis + onboarding doc generation
- ci-cd-pipeline-builder: pragmatic CI/CD from project stack signals
- mcp-server-builder: MCP servers from OpenAPI contracts (Python + TS)
- observability-designer: metrics + logs + traces + SLI/SLO design
- api-design-reviewer: REST design review + breaking-change detection
- performance-profiler: Node/Python/Go profiling + flamegraphs + load tests
- changelog-generator: Conventional Commits → release notes automation
- runbook-generator: operational runbooks from service name + templates
Each new description: ≤1024 chars, third person, action verb in first
sentence, "Use when ..." trigger in second sentence per Matt Pocock's rule.
Remaining 11 placeholder descriptions tracked for v2.6.2.
3. Quality-gates reference updated (Option C: legacy advisory)
quality_gates_for_skills.md now explicitly documents the binding-for-new
vs advisory-for-legacy split. The 6-item checklist remains BLOCKING for
post-v2.6.0 skills and ADVISORY for the 298 legacy SKILL.md files. Audit
report drift is tracked separately; PASS count is the metric to grow, not
a force-march-to-Friday deadline.
Aggregate audit improvement (against the 298 real-skill cohort):
- PASS: 4 (1%) → 7 (2%)
- WARN: 111 (37%) → 134 (45%)
- FAIL: 183 (61%) → 157 (53%)
- "Missing trigger" failures: 119 (39%) → 79 (26%)
26 skills total lifted from FAIL → WARN/PASS in this PR. Highest-leverage
fix per hour of any v2.6.x cleanup since the v2.6.0 release.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01VFreMf7XLBqMgjsrG4wSYe
test_skill_integrity.py::TestSkillMdHasH1 requires every SKILL.md to have an
H1 heading. Matt Pocock's originals didn't have H1s (just frontmatter + body)
so the verbatim preservation tripped this test on dev's CI.
Adding minimal H1 headings ("Caveman Mode", "Grill Me", "Handoff") without
modifying Matt's body content. Voice + workflow + rules preserved exactly.
Full pytest suite: 1921 passed (was 3 failed).
Write-a-skill review checklist: still PASS on all 3 SKILL.md (69/58/41 lines,
all under Matt's 100-line ceiling).
https://claude.ai/code/session_01VFreMf7XLBqMgjsrG4wSYe
Stream B PR 1 of 2 — the skill-author skill that gives us the meta-tool to
build the rest of Matt Pocock's productivity skills (caveman, grill-me, handoff)
with consistent quality gates.
Derived from Matt Pocock's write-a-skill (MIT-licensed):
https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/tree/main/skills/productivity/write-a-skill
Matt's SKILL.md content + 3-phase workflow (Gather -> Draft -> Review) preserved
verbatim per MIT license. Attribution: README.md + plugin.json description +
SKILL.md frontmatter metadata + every file footer cites Matt + links to original.
Additions on top of Matt's original (the "hybrid voice" approach):
3 stdlib Python validation tools:
- skill_description_validator.py: 5-check verdict per Matt's 4 format rules
(description present, <=1024 chars, third person, "Use when" trigger, action
verb in first sentence). Action-verb vocabulary extracted as module constant.
- skill_structure_validator.py: 6-check verdict (SKILL.md present, line count,
references when split needed, one-level-deep, no circular refs, scripts/
folder note). Refactored to extract _list_md_in_subdir + _collect_links_for_file
helpers to keep nesting depth <= 4 per karpathy-coder.
- skill_review_checklist_runner.py: combined verdict running all 6 items from
Matt's review checklist. Refactored _find_nested_md helper for nesting.
4 in-depth references (each citing 7-8 authoritative sources):
- companion_tooling.md: tool catalogue + cs-* wrapper rationale
- progressive_disclosure_principles.md: 100-line ceiling + one-level-deep rule
with sources (Matt, Anthropic, Don Norman, Pirolli & Card, Maeda, DocOps)
- description_design_patterns.md: good vs bad description patterns with sources
(Matt, Anthropic, Garrett, Nielsen Norman, Karpathy)
- quality_gates_for_skills.md: the 6 mandatory gates + CI integration with
sources (Matt, Humble & Farley, Kim et al., Hyrum's Law)
cs-skill-author persona agent + /cs:write-a-skill slash command:
- Forcing-question interrogator pattern matching our cs-* convention
- 6 forcing questions mirroring Matt's 6 review-checklist items
- Routes to validators + karpathy-coder gate + attribution check
Karpathy-coder validation (full sweep):
- complexity_checker: 100/100 across all 3 tools (0 findings)
- assumption_linter: CLEAN on all 3 tools
- All 3 tools: PASS text + PASS JSON output
- All 4 references cite >= 7 authoritative sources (range 7-8)
Self-validation note: this skill's own SKILL.md is 141 lines (over Matt's
100-line ceiling) because it preserves Matt's full content verbatim + adds
attribution + tooling references. The structure_validator + checklist_runner
correctly WARN on this — documented in progressive_disclosure_principles.md
as the wrapper-derived exception. README.md absorbs the attribution overhead
so SKILL.md stays close to Matt's original size.

Security scanners legitimately reference dangerous patterns (eval, os.system,
subprocess shell=True, etc.) inside their own regex pattern definitions and
human-readable risk/fix descriptions. Auditing the auditor itself produced
17 CRITICAL false positives — all from its own pattern table. ship-gate had
the same issue (2 CRITICALs on a check description and a variable name
called eval_findings).
Fix:
- Add 'noqa: SEC-AUDITOR' / 'auditor:ignore-line' line-suppression directive
to all three scan loops (code patterns, prompt-injection markdown,
pip/npm runtime install detection).
- Annotate the 179 pattern-definition lines in skill_security_auditor.py
(regex, risk, fix entries) and 4 cleanup shutil.rmtree calls.
- Annotate ship-gate's two flagged lines (SEC-13 check description and
eval_findings variable usage).
- Annotate SKILL.md and references/threat-model.md tables that document
attack patterns for human readers (HTML comment <!-- noqa: SEC-AUDITOR -->).
Verified end-to-end:
skill-security-auditor self-audit: 17 CRITICAL -> 0 (PASS)
ship-gate self-audit: 2 CRITICAL -> 0 (PASS)
slo-architect: PASS (0/0)
project-management WARN unchanged (no top-level SKILL.md, expected)
PR #527 (@rx4u) submitted a pre-production audit skill that was based on the
pre-#593 layout (skills directly under engineering/). After #593 landed, the
diff would have undone the entire restructure (4500+ rename ops). Re-applying
the actual new content at the correct post-restructure path.
What landed:
- engineering/skills/ship-gate/SKILL.md
- engineering/skills/ship-gate/references/checks.md
- engineering/skills/ship-gate/references/patterns.md
- engineering/skills/ship-gate/scripts/ship_gate_scanner.py
Verified:
- python3 ship_gate_scanner.py --help → OK
- python3 ship_gate_scanner.py --version → ship-gate 1.0.0
- 1671 tests pass (was 1666; +5 for ship-gate smoke + integrity)
- engineering/.claude-plugin/plugin.json: 48 → 49 skills, v2.4.2 → v2.4.3
- marketplace.json: engineering-advanced-skills entry updated to match
Closes#527.

`.mcp.json` is the canonical filename Claude Code expects for plugin-bundled
MCP server configuration. The auditor's hidden-file rule was flagging it as
HIGH severity, blocking the `--strict` quality gate documented in CLAUDE.md.

Closes-PR: #596
Karpathy-style review of commit 3806b9b (the prior PR commit) caught real
issues that I missed: agents weren't fully equipped per the optional but
recommended fields in the official sub-agents spec.
Changes:
- engineering/agenthub/agents/hub-coordinator.md: narrow Bash(node *) (too
broad per defense-in-depth) -> moved node into disallowedTools; add
maxTurns: 100 (orchestrators run long); add skills: agenthub:agenthub
(preload the plugin's own guidance into agent context)
- engineering-team/self-improving-agent/agents/memory-analyst.md:
add maxTurns: 30 to bound runaway analysis loops
- engineering-team/self-improving-agent/agents/skill-extractor.md:
add disallowedTools (rm/curl/wget) — agent has Write+Edit so defense-in-
depth applies; add maxTurns: 30
- engineering/karpathy-coder/agents/karpathy-reviewer.md: fix skills field
format from path-style "engineering/karpathy-coder" to spec-correct
namespaced name "karpathy-coder:karpathy-coder" (the path syntax is the
cs-* orchestrator template convention; the official sub-agents spec uses
skill names per code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents); add maxTurns: 30
All 6 plugin agents (4 here + 2 in playwright-pro from prior commit) +
the 1 user agent (tech-ingester) now have name + description + tools +
disallowedTools (where write-capable) + model + maxTurns. The skills:
field is set on agents that benefit from preloaded domain skill content.
Functional smoke tests post-fix:
- memory-analyst: PASS (2 turns, 25s, 24K tokens, found 1 real orphan)
- skill-extractor: PASS (0 tool uses, 34s, 17K tokens, generated correct
plan staying read-only with new disallowedTools in effect)
- karpathy-reviewer: PASS (verified in prior session, 28 tool uses)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents, agents require YAML
frontmatter with name + description, and the field is `tools:` not
`allowed-tools:` (deprecated). Bare `Bash` allows any command including
curl/wget/rm, which violates defense-in-depth.
Changes:
- engineering/agenthub/agents/hub-coordinator.md: add full frontmatter
(name, description, tools allowlist for git/python/node/Agent,
disallowedTools for rm -rf / curl / wget / git push --force, model)
- engineering-team/self-improving-agent/agents/memory-analyst.md:
add frontmatter, read-only tools (Read, Glob, Grep)
- engineering-team/self-improving-agent/agents/skill-extractor.md:
add frontmatter, write tools (Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep)
- engineering-team/playwright-pro/agents/test-architect.md:
rename allowed-tools to tools, add model: inherit
- engineering-team/playwright-pro/agents/migration-planner.md:
same rename
- engineering-team/playwright-pro/agents/test-debugger.md:
rename + narrow bare Bash to npx playwright / node / npm patterns,
add disallowedTools for rm / curl / wget / destructive git
- engineering/karpathy-coder/agents/karpathy-reviewer.md:
narrow bare Bash to git read-ops + python, add disallowedTools
All registered agents now load cleanly under the sub-agents spec rather
than falling through to permissive registration.

Same root cause as #587/#591 — Claude Code's runtime loader rejects
array-form skills paths like ["./content-production", "./ai-seo", ...]
even when each entry is a valid subdirectory containing SKILL.md.
`claude plugin validate` accepts them but the loader does not.
The proven canonical layout (used by self-improving-agent in #536):
<plugin>/
├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json skills: "./skills"
└── skills/
├── <skill-1>/SKILL.md
├── <skill-2>/SKILL.md
└── ...
Restructured 9 multi-skill domain plugins:
- business-growth (4 skills moved)
- c-level-advisor (28)
- engineering (36)
- engineering-team (32)
- finance (2)
- marketing-skill (43)
- product-team (12)
- project-management (8)
- ra-qm-team (13)
Also fixed standalone plugins that had root SKILL.md + ./skills/ subdir
(agenthub, autoresearch-agent, executive-mentor, playwright-pro). The
loader rejected them despite skills="./skills" because of the conflicting
root SKILL.md (compare self-improving-agent which works because PR #536
moved its root SKILL.md). Moved each root SKILL.md into ./skills/<name>/.
Restored standalone plugin folders to their original paths after the
multi-skill restructure swept them into parent skills/ directories
(marketplace.json source paths require original locations).
Removed 7 orphaned marketplace entries that pointed to skill folders
without their own plugin.json (content-creator, demand-gen,
fullstack-engineer, aws-architect, product-manager, scrum-master,
skill-security-auditor) — these were already non-functional.
Bumped patch versions on every changed plugin and synced
marketplace.json. Marketplace now lists 29 working plugins (down
from 36).
After merge: users run `/plugin marketplace update claude-code-skills`
followed by `/plugin update --all` to pick up the working layout.
Claude Code v2.1.126 rejects "skills": ["./"] (array form) at runtime
with the same "Path escapes plugin directory: ./" error as the bare
string form, despite the official plugins reference docs explicitly
showing ["./"] as a valid example. `claude plugin validate` accepts it,
so the bug is in the runtime loader, not the manifest validator.
The proven workaround (already used for self-improving-agent in #536)
is to follow the canonical layout:
<plugin>/
├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json skills: "./skills"
└── skills/<plugin-name>/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
├── references/
└── ...
Applied to 21 single-skill plugins:
- engineering-team/a11y-audit, google-workspace-cli, snowflake-development
- engineering/behuman, code-tour, data-quality-auditor, demo-video,
docker-development, helm-chart-builder, karpathy-coder, llm-cost-optimizer,
llm-wiki, prompt-governance, statistical-analyst, terraform-patterns
- finance/business-investment-advisor
- marketing-skill/video-content-strategist
- product-team/agile-product-owner, apple-hig-expert, code-to-prd,
research-summarizer
Moved with each SKILL.md: scripts/, references/, assets/, templates/,
expected_outputs/. Kept at plugin root (per Claude Code requirements):
agents/, commands/, hooks/, settings.json, README.md.
Bumped patch version on each restructured plugin so /plugin update
picks up the new layout.
Refs #539
PR #587 fixed `"skills": "./"` in 35 plugin.json files but did not bump
versions. Claude Code uses version as the cache key — same version string
means /plugin update is a no-op and users keep loading the cached
plugin.json with the broken path. The /plugin UI shows "1 error" on
every plugin from this marketplace because the installed cache is stale.
Per the official version-management docs:
> If you set `version` in `plugin.json`, you must bump it every time
> you want users to receive changes. Pushing new commits alone is not
> enough.
Bump every plugin.json by one patch using max(plugin_version,
marketplace_version) as the base so no version moves backward. Sync the
new versions back into .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
After this lands, users run `/plugin marketplace update claude-code-skills`
followed by `/plugin update --all` to pull the fixed manifests.
Claude Code v2.1.107+ rejects bare "skills": "./" with "Path escapes
plugin directory: ./". This blocks every plugin in the marketplace from
loading. Replace with the layout-appropriate form per the official
plugins reference:
- Single-skill plugin (SKILL.md at root):
"skills": ["./"] array form (per docs example)
- Plugin with skills/ subdir:
"skills": "./skills" standard subdir layout
- Multi-skill domain plugin (skills are subfolders at root):
"skills": ["./sub1", "./sub2"] explicit list of skill dirs
The multi-skill case omits "./" from the array so the index SKILL.md
at the plugin root does not register as a skill — that would create
a redundant `marketing-skills:marketing-skills` namespace.
Verified by running `claude plugin validate` against all 35 manifests.
Closes#539
Zero-dependency Node.js skill that captures full-page screenshots of web
pages via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Supports SPA scroll container
expansion, lazy-load triggering, DOM stability detection, and tiled
capture for very tall pages. Requires only Node.js 22+ and Chrome with
remote debugging enabled.
Updated the skill description to emphasize proactive usage and clarified triggers for cost optimization. Enhanced the context and steps for cost auditing, optimization, and architecture design.
Implements Karpathy's 4 coding principles (Think Before Coding, Simplicity
First, Surgical Changes, Goal-Driven Execution) as an active enforcement
plugin, not just passive guidelines. Derived from Karpathy's X post on LLM
coding pitfalls but goes far beyond the source material with automated
detection tools, a review agent, and CI integration patterns.
Differentiator vs forrestchang/andrej-karpathy-skills (prompt-only, single
SKILL.md): this version ships real tooling that DETECTS violations instead
of just documenting principles.
Plugin contents (engineering/karpathy-coder/):
- SKILL.md with `context: fork` for skill chaining
- 4 Python tools (stdlib only):
- complexity_checker.py — cyclomatic complexity, class density, nesting
depth, function length, premature abstractions (Principle #2)
- diff_surgeon.py — diff noise ratio: comment-only changes, whitespace,
style drift, drive-by refactors, quote-style swaps (Principle #3)
- assumption_linter.py — detects "just", "obviously", "should work",
vague actions, unscoped users, missing format specs (Principle #1)
- goal_verifier.py — scores plan steps 0-3 for verification quality,
flags vague criteria, checks for final verification (Principle #4)
- 1 sub-agent: karpathy-reviewer (runs all 4 principles against a diff)
- 1 slash command: /karpathy-check (dispatches the reviewer)
- 1 pre-commit hook: karpathy-gate.sh (non-blocking, warns on violations)
- 3 reference docs: karpathy-principles.md (full context + when to relax),
anti-patterns.md (10+ before/after examples), enforcement-patterns.md
(Husky, pre-commit framework, GitHub Actions CI integration)
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest (v2.3.0)
- Cross-tool compatible: works with any AGENTS.md-based CLI
All 4 scripts verified: --help passes, smoke tests run correctly.
complexity_checker catches its own nesting depth. assumption_linter
correctly flags "just", "obviously", "should work". goal_verifier
correctly scores plans with/without verification steps.

Implements Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern as a production-grade plugin. The LLM
incrementally ingests sources into a persistent, interlinked Obsidian vault —
updating entity/concept/source pages, flagging contradictions, maintaining an
index and append-only log. Knowledge compounds instead of being re-derived by
RAG on every query.
Plugin contents (engineering/llm-wiki/):
- SKILL.md with `context: fork` frontmatter for skill chaining
- 3 sub-agents: wiki-ingestor, wiki-librarian, wiki-linter
- 5 slash commands: /wiki-init, /wiki-ingest, /wiki-query, /wiki-lint, /wiki-log
- 8 Python tools (stdlib only): init_vault, ingest_source, update_index,
append_log, wiki_search (BM25), lint_wiki, graph_analyzer, export_marp
- 8 reference docs: schema, page-formats, ingest/query/lint workflows,
obsidian-setup, cross-tool-setup, memex-principles
- Vault templates: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, index.md, log.md,
5 page templates (entity, concept, source, comparison, synthesis)
- Worked example vault on "LLM interpretability"
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest
Cross-tool compatibility: the scripts are pure Python stdlib. Only the schema
loader changes per tool (CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, AGENTS.md for Codex CLI /
Cursor / Antigravity / OpenCode / Gemini CLI, .cursorrules for legacy Cursor).
init_vault.py --tool all installs all three.
Repo-level registration:
- Commands mirrored to top-level commands/ for repo-wide discovery
- Agents mirrored to agents/engineering/ as cs-wiki-{ingestor,librarian,linter}
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: new llm-wiki entry + version bump to v2.3.0
- CLAUDE.md updated: 234 skills, 313 Python tools, 432 refs, 28 agents, 27 commands
Also saved (deferred): craighewitt-mattpocock reimplementation plan at
documentation/implementation/ — 4-pod proposal for building better versions
of selected skills from thecraighewitt-skills and mattpocock-skills
collections. Not executed; awaiting user confirmation on scope.
End-to-end smoke test passed: init_vault → ingest → update_index → append_log
→ wiki_search → lint → graph_analyzer → export_marp all run against a fresh
vault with real pages, wikilinks, and frontmatter.
