# Claude Plugins Repository

Collection of Claude Code plugins: skills, agents, hooks, commands, and scripts.

## Plugin Version Bumping (MANDATORY)

When you modify ANY file inside `plugins/<name>/`, you MUST also bump the `"version"` in that plugin's `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` **and** update the matching version in `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` before committing. A pre-commit hook enforces both — commits without a version bump or with mismatched marketplace versions will be rejected.

**Semantic Versioning (follow Keep a Changelog):**
- **PATCH** (x.y.Z) — bug fixes, typo corrections, minor documentation tweaks
- **MINOR** (x.Y.0) — new features, skill improvements, prompt changes, non-breaking additions
- **MAJOR** (X.0.0) — breaking changes to skill behavior, major restructuring, removed functionality

**Examples:**
- Fixed a typo in a skill → PATCH (1.1.0 → 1.1.1)
- Rewrote a prompt template, added new sections → MINOR (1.1.0 → 1.2.0)
- Removed a skill, changed plugin interface → MAJOR (1.2.0 → 2.0.0)

## Changelog (MANDATORY)

Every plugin has a `CHANGELOG.md` in its root directory (`plugins/<name>/CHANGELOG.md`). When you bump a plugin version, you MUST also add a changelog entry. The pre-commit hook enforces this — commits with a version bump but no changelog update will be rejected.

**Format:** [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) with these categories:
- **Added** — new skills, commands, agents, features
- **Changed** — modifications to existing behavior, prompt rewrites
- **Deprecated** — features that will be removed in a future version
- **Removed** — features removed in this version
- **Fixed** — bug fixes, typo corrections
- **Security** — vulnerability patches

**Changelog gotchas — do NOT:**
- Write vague entries like "various improvements" or "bug fixes" — be specific about what changed and why it matters to the user
- Use commit messages as changelog entries — changelogs are for users, commits are for developers
- Forget the date — every version header MUST include the ISO 8601 date: `## [1.2.0] - 2026-04-03`
- Mix user-facing and internal changes — only document what affects plugin users (new skills, changed behavior, fixed bugs), not internal refactoring
- Backfill changelog after the fact from memory — write entries as you make changes, not at release time
- Use past tense in entries — use imperative mood: "Add search skill" not "Added search skill"

**Changelog template for new plugins:**
```markdown
# Changelog

All notable changes to the **<plugin-name>** plugin will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).

## [1.0.0] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Added
- Initial release description
```

**Release automation:** On push to `main`, a GitHub Action automatically assembles a combined changelog from all updated plugins, creates a GitHub Release, and posts a summary to Slack. You do NOT need to create releases or notify the team manually — just keep the changelogs accurate.

## New Plugin Checklist (MANDATORY)

When creating a NEW plugin (new `plugins/<name>/` directory), you MUST complete ALL of these:

1. `plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` — manifest with name, version, description (the only location Claude Code reads)
2. `plugins/<name>/CHANGELOG.md` — initial changelog with `[1.0.0]` entry
3. `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` — add entry with matching version, description, author, source, category, homepage
4. `README.md` — add install command AND plugin description section (in alphabetical position among plugins)

A pre-commit hook enforces items 1-3. Item 4 (README) is also enforced — commits introducing a new plugin directory without a corresponding README.md entry will be rejected.

## Git Hooks

This repo uses `.githooks/` for tracked git hooks. After cloning, run:
```bash
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
```

## Skill Writing Guidelines

All skill authoring guidance — frontmatter fields, SKILL.md structure, scripts, subagents, validation — lives in [`docs/skill-creation.md`](docs/skill-creation.md).
