CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Repository Overview

This is the Outfitter Marketplace - a collection of Claude Code plugins for developers. The repository hosts multiple plugins that can be installed individually.

Commands

Plugin installation (via Claude Code)

/plugin marketplace add outfitter-dev/agents  # Add marketplace
/plugin install <plugin-name>@outfitter       # Install a plugin

Architecture

Plugin Structure

Each plugin lives in the plugins/ directory:

plugins/
├── <plugin-name>/
│   ├── agents/           # Custom agents (markdown files)
│   ├── commands/         # Slash commands (markdown files)
│   ├── skills/           # Skills with SKILL.md entry points
│   ├── hooks/            # Event hooks (TypeScript for complex logic)
│   └── README.md

Plugin metadata is consolidated in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (no individual plugin.json files needed).

Available Plugins

Plugin Purpose
outfitter Core methodology + Claude Code extensibility (TDD, debugging, architecture, research, plugins, skills, agents)
but GitButler virtual branch workflows for parallel development
gt Graphite stacked PR workflows for trunk-based development
cli-dev CLI development: argument parsing, help text, subcommands
outfitter-stack Outfitter Stack patterns: Result types, handler contract, error taxonomy

Working with Skills

Skills are markdown-based instruction sets that guide agent behavior for specific tasks.

Finding Skills

Plugin Path Contains
outfitter plugins/outfitter/skills/ TDD, debugging, pathfinding, plugin authoring, skills-discovery, skills-workflows
outfitter-stack plugins/outfitter-stack/skills/ Stack patterns, templates, review, audit, architecture
but plugins/but/skills/ GitButler virtual branch workflows
gt plugins/gt/skills/ Graphite stacked PR workflows
cli-dev plugins/cli-dev/skills/ CLI development patterns

Notable Agents

Plugin Agent Purpose
outfitter workflow-architect Design multi-skill workflow systems
outfitter plugin-engineer Transform external repos into plugins
outfitter-stack stacker Stack-specialist for @outfitter/* patterns
# List all skills
find . -name "SKILL.md" -not -path "*/node_modules/*"

Loading Skills into Context

To use a skill, read the SKILL.md file into context. Skills use progressive disclosure:

Step File Contains
1. Core SKILL.md YAML frontmatter + workflow
2. Deep-dive references/*.md Detailed patterns, edge cases
3. Examples examples/ or EXAMPLES.md Concrete worked patterns
# Example: load the pathfinding skill
cat plugins/outfitter/skills/pathfinding/SKILL.md

# If you need more detail on confidence levels
cat plugins/outfitter/skills/pathfinding/references/confidence.md

Formatting Conventions

Skills and output should follow .claude/rules/FORMATTING.md:

  • Use Unicode indicators (░▓ for progress, ◇◆ for severity, for caveats)
  • Variables in {ALL_CAPS}, instructional prose in { lowercase with spaces }
  • XML tags for structural sections (<workflow>, <rules>, etc.)
  • Avoid markdown emphasis in instructions; save it for user-facing output

Marketplace Configuration

The root .claude-plugin/marketplace.json defines available plugins with source locations and metadata. Local plugins use explicit ./plugins/<name> paths in source fields (schema requires ./ prefix for relative paths). External plugins reference GitHub repos.
