Quick Start

# 1. Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add amitkot/claude-code-tools

# 2. Install plugins (gitbutler-cli automatically installs core)
/plugin install gitbutler-cli@claude-code-tools

# 3. Start using them!
# Ask Claude: "Can you help me with GitButler?"
# Ask Claude: "Explain Git branches to me"

Installation

Prerequisites

1. Claude Code - Anthropic's official CLI for Claude (Get Claude Code)

2. GitButler CLI (for GitButler skill) - Install from gitbutlerapp/gitbutler

Public Readiness

Before changing repository visibility or publishing a release, run the local audit:

pre-commit run --all-files
just audit-public
gitleaks detect --source . --redact --no-banner
git status --short --ignored

The public-readiness gate targets the current tree and future commits. Repository history is not rewritten.

Installing Plugins

Option 1: Via Plugin Marketplace (Recommended)

The easiest way to install and keep plugins updated:

# Add this marketplace
/plugin marketplace add amitkot/claude-code-tools

# Install GitButler CLI plugin (automatically installs core)
/plugin install gitbutler-cli@claude-code-tools

# Or install individual plugins
/plugin install core@claude-code-tools
/plugin install gitbutler-cli@claude-code-tools

# Later, update to the latest versions
/plugin update gitbutler-cli
/plugin update core

# List installed plugins
/plugin list

Plugins will be automatically available in all your Claude Code sessions.

Benefits:

• One-command installation
• Automatic dependency management (core installed with gitbutler-cli)
• Easy updates with /plugin update
• Easy removal with /plugin remove
• Version management built-in

Option 2: Manual Installation

If you prefer manual installation, you can copy the skill directly:

# Create skills directory
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills

# Copy plugins
cp -r core/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r gitbutler-cli/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

# Verify installation
ls ~/.claude/skills/git-fundamentals
ls ~/.claude/skills/gitbutler-cli

# Navigate to your project
cd /path/to/your/project

# Create skills directory
mkdir -p .claude/skills

# Copy plugins
cp -r /path/to/claude-code-tools/core/skills/* .claude/skills/
cp -r /path/to/claude-code-tools/gitbutler-cli/skills/* .claude/skills/

# Verify installation
ls .claude/skills/

Verification

Test that Claude Code recognizes the skills:

1. Start Claude Code in a terminal
2. Ask: "Can you help me with GitButler?" → Should use gitbutler-cli skill
3. Ask: "Explain Git branches to me" → Should use git-fundamentals skill
