The maintainer's handbook for the sonu plugin and the claude-plugins repo. INVOKE whenever authoring, editing, reviewing, or releasing any component in this repo — a skill's SKILL.md, a command file (under sonu/commands/ or .claude/commands/), a manifest, or the README — or when answering how the plugin's pieces fit together. Covers the house rules, plugin/skill/command mechanics, the authoring conventions, the trap catalogue mined from this repo's own incidents, and the validation/release…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Plugin development — how to carry this repo forward

This repo has no test suite, no CI, and no compiler: every quality gate is discipline plus the checks in `/validate`. This skill is the discipline written down, so a zero-context contributor (human or model) can change the plugin without re-fighting battles that are already settled. Everything here was extracted from this repo's actual git history — each rule has an incident behind it.

## When to apply this

Any change inside this repo: editing a skill or command, adding a component, bumping a version, touching a manifest or the README, or reviewing someone else's change to any of those. If your working directory is the `claude-plugins` repo, this skill applies.

**When NOT to use it:** using the plugin's skills/commands in some other repo. This file governs the toolbox, not the work done with the tools.

## 1. Architecture contract — the load-bearing decisions

These decisions are deliberate. Don't reverse them casually; if one must change, record why in the PR and update this section.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add prabhdeepsingh/claude-plugins/plugin-dev@sha256:4c086af06d5381f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.4e5ade4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
