delphi-dev — Claude Code Plugin
A Claude Code plugin that turns the assistant into a senior Delphi expert.
🇧🇷 Leia em Português
What is it
delphi-dev activates automatically whenever Claude Code detects Delphi-related content — .pas, .dpr, .dfm, .dpk, .dproj files, or any mention of Object Pascal, FireMonkey, VCL, FireDAC, or RAD Studio. Once active, Claude applies the full Delphi Style Guide, Clean Code principles, and SOLID patterns without being asked.
Features
| Command | Description |
|---|
| Auto Delphi Mode | Opening any .pas, .dpr or .dfm file activates the full coding standards context automatically |
/audit | Generates a complete professional technical audit with per-dimension scoring and a prioritized modernization roadmap |
/review | Quick code review — detects violations and provides corrected examples |
/write | Writes new code with all standards applied from the start |
/new-project | Scaffolds a new project with standardized layered folder structure |
/spec | Analyzes the current project source code and auto-generates a complete SPEC.md |
/tdd | Generates a complete DUnitX unit test suite for the project |
/about | Displays plugin info, version, and available commands |
Installation
In Claude Code (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
/plugin marketplace add adrianosantostreina/delphi-dev
/plugin install delphi-dev@delphi-dev
Via terminal (CLI):
claude plugin marketplace add adrianosantostreina/delphi-dev
claude plugin install delphi-dev@delphi-dev
After installation
After running the install command, a menu will appear asking for the installation scope:
| Option | When to use |
|---|
| Install for you (user scope) | Recommended for individual developers — available in all projects on your machine |
| Install for all collaborators (project scope) | Adds the plugin to .claude/settings.json so everyone who clones the repo gets it |
| Install for you, in this repo only (local scope) | Available only in the current project, gitignored |
Note: After confirming the installation in the menu, the plugin will be installed silently — no confirmation message is shown.
Verify the installed version:
/about
The current version should be 1.3.0.
Tip (Windows): If you get a "Host key verification failed" error, run this once in your terminal before installing:
git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf git@github.com:
Updating
To update to the latest version, uninstall and reinstall:
/plugin uninstall delphi-dev
/plugin install delphi-dev@delphi-dev
Uninstalling
/plugin uninstall delphi-dev
/plugin marketplace remove delphi-dev
Or via CLI:
claude plugin uninstall delphi-dev
claude plugin marketplace remove delphi-dev
