The toolkit Plugin

This plugin is general purpose and should be useful for anyone.

Commands

/toolkit:skill-history

This is useful for troubleshooting whether Claude has actually invoked or missed skills, and in response to what queries.

See skill history examples.

/toolkit:agent-history

What agents have been spawned?

• Searches session log for agent spawns
• Shows timestamp, agent name, and task

/toolkit:ghpr

Open or create a pull request for my current branch

• Opens existing PR in browser if one exists
• Creates new PR with confirmation if none exists
• Infers PR type from branch name (feat/, fix/, chore/, etc.)
• Checks for relevant project skills for conventions

Example, when no PR exists:

And when it does. The browser opens automatically:

Skills

research

Use the research skill to investigate options for implementing OAuth in a Node.js app

• Searches web and clones GitHub repos
• Requires 2-3 sources before recommending
• Saves findings to ./scratch/research/

Tip: "research" is a generic term — Claude may use built-in tools (Explore, WebFetch) instead of this skill. Be explicit: say "use the research skill" or "use the researcher agent" to ensure the structured research workflow is triggered.

claude-code-memory-and-rules

Set up CLAUDE.md and rules for my project

• Configures CLAUDE.md files, .claude/rules/, and auto memory
• Guides scope selection (user, project, local, org)
• Supports path-scoped rules for file-type-specific conventions
• Covers imports, bootstrapping with /init, and the /memory command
• Includes rules vs hooks decision guide

claude-code-hook-development

Create a hook that runs tests before git push and requires explicit confirmation before pushing to remote.

• Creates shell scripts in .claude/hooks/
• Configures hook events in .claude/settings.json
• Supports blocking (exit 2) and non-blocking hooks

Example output

See github.com/dwmkerr/effective-shell for some real-world examples (or most of my recently edited open source projects).
