shihwesley-plugins

shihwesley-plugins

A personal collection of Claude Code plugins built to sharpen AI-assisted development — better codebase understanding, tighter context windows, structured workflows, and faster research loops.

Seven plugins across three categories, each solving a specific friction point in agent-driven development. Together, they compose into an automated orchestration pipeline that takes a plan from outline to committed code.

Anthropic Skill Guide Compliant

All skills in this repository and across all shihwesley plugins follow Anthropic's Complete Guide to Building Skills for Claude (January 2026). This means:

• Every skill lives in its own folder with a SKILL.md entry point
• Frontmatter uses kebab-case name fields matching folder names
• Descriptions follow the [what it does] + [when to use it] + [key capabilities] formula with explicit trigger phrases
• Progressive disclosure: core instructions in SKILL.md, detailed docs in references/
• No README.md inside skill folders
• A skill-template/ is provided for creating new compliant skills

Skills included: release, create-skill-graph, traverse-template, skill-template, interactive-planning, orchestrator

Then install individual plugins as needed (see tables below).

Plugins

Codebase Intelligence

Help your AI agent understand, map, and efficiently consume codebases.

Plugin	What it does	Install
mercator-ai	Merkle-enhanced codebase mapping with O(1) change detection	/plugin install mercator-ai@shihwesley-plugins
chronicler	Ambient .tech.md generation with freshness tracking	/plugin install chronicler@shihwesley-plugins
code-simplifier-tldr	TLDR-aware codebase simplifier — surveys via AST summaries, edits surgically	/plugin install code-simplifier-tldr@shihwesley-plugins

• mercator-ai — Generates CODEBASE_MAP.md with file purposes, architecture layers, and dependency graphs. Uses a merkle manifest (docs/.mercator.json) so re-runs only re-analyze changed files instead of rescanning everything.
• chronicler — Watches your source files and auto-generates .tech.md docs alongside them. Tracks freshness per file — flags stale docs when the source changes, so documentation stays current without manual upkeep. Reads mercator-ai's merkle manifest to know which files changed, so it only regenerates docs for what's actually different.
• code-simplifier-tldr — A TLDR-aware agent that simplifies your codebase. Reads AST summaries to survey file structure, identifies simplification targets (dead code, redundant abstractions, over-engineered patterns), then requests only the specific line ranges it needs to edit. Integrates with mercator-ai's merkle tree so it only considers files whose hash actually changed. Logs every change to a simplification log for auditability.

Workflow & Environment

Structure your planning process and manage runtime environments without manual switching.

Plugin	What it does	Install
interactive-planning	File-based planning with interactive gates and task tracking	/plugin install interactive-planning@shihwesley-plugins
orbit	Ambient dev environment management — auto-switches dev/test/staging/prod via Docker	/plugin install orbit@shihwesley-plugins
