Bootstraps

A Claude Code plugin marketplace of reusable skills, hooks, and project scaffolds.

Prerequisites

This is a private repository. You need access to benjamcalvin/bootstraps on GitHub and git credentials configured (e.g. gh auth login).

For automatic plugin updates at Claude Code startup, set a GitHub token in your environment:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here

Without this, plugins still work — you just need to update manually with /plugin marketplace update bootstraps.

Install

Add the marketplace to Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add benjamcalvin/bootstraps

Browse Plugins

List available plugins:

/plugin marketplace list

Or open the interactive plugin manager:

/plugin

Navigate to the Discover tab to browse plugins from this marketplace.

Install a Plugin

/plugin install bootstrap-docs@bootstraps
/plugin install implement-lifecycle@bootstraps

Choose a scope when prompted:

• user (default) — available in all your projects
• project — available to anyone working on the current project
• local — only for you in the current project

Use a Plugin

Invoke a plugin's skill as a slash command:

/bootstrap-docs
/implement #42

Some skills accept arguments:

/bootstrap-docs adr
/implement #42
/implement fix the login bug
/implement 17 just review
/review-pr 17
/draft-issue add user avatar support
/cleanup-issue #42
/refine-issue #42

Update Plugins

/plugin marketplace update bootstraps

Uninstall a Plugin

/plugin uninstall bootstrap-docs@bootstraps
/plugin uninstall implement-lifecycle@bootstraps
/plugin uninstall issue-management@bootstraps

Available Plugins

Plugin	Description
bootstrap-docs	Set up a comprehensive, AI-readable documentation strategy in any project. Creates AGENTS.md, specs, ADRs, guides, plans, standards, and research templates.
implement-lifecycle	Full implementation lifecycle with adversarial PR review — plan, implement, PR, review/address loop, merge.
issue-management	Draft, clean up, and refine GitHub issues — optimized for AI agent consumption.
stop-guard	Stop hook that evaluates task completion via Gemini CLI and blocks premature stops. Opt-in per session via activation marker.

implement-lifecycle

Provides 6 skills and 4 reviewer agents for the complete implementation lifecycle:

Skills:

Skill	Description
/implement	Lean orchestrator — 6-phase lifecycle (plan → implement → PR → review loop → verify → merge). Accepts #issue, PR number, or freeform task. Supports trailing instructions like "just review" or "skip planning".
/merge-pr	Validate, squash-merge, delete branch, and update linked GitHub issues with delivery status.
/pr-check	Pre-flight PR validation — branch naming, title, description, sizing, commits, references.

Subagent skills (invoked by the orchestrator, not directly):

Skill	Description
implement-code	Explore codebase, plan, write tests first, implement, self-review, commit, and create PR.
implement-address	Address filtered review findings from the referee's action plan.
verify	End-to-end verification — exercises the real running system, checks downstream effects, regression tests existing flows.

Reviewer agents (invoked in parallel during the review loop):

Agent	Focus
review-correctness	Logic bugs, edge cases, error handling, race conditions
review-security	AuthZ, injection risks, PII handling, spec conformance
review-architecture	Pattern consistency, module boundaries, coupling, forward-looking design
review-testing	Test coverage, assertion quality, edge cases, test anti-patterns

issue-management

Provides 3 skills for GitHub issue quality:

Skill	Description
/draft-issue	Create well-structured GitHub issues with testable acceptance criteria, optimized for /implement consumption.
/cleanup-issue	Fix formatting, fill missing sections, and clarify ambiguity in existing issues.
/refine-issue	Deepen an issue with codebase research — sharpen acceptance criteria, add implementation hints, decompose into sub-tasks.

stop-guard

A Stop hook — no skills to invoke. Once installed, it activates when any session transcript contains <!-- stop-guard:active -->.

Requires: Gemini CLI (npm install -g @google/gemini-cli), jq

How it works: When Claude tries to stop, the hook calls Gemini to independently evaluate whether the task is complete. If incomplete, it blocks the stop and tells Claude what to finish. If complete (or if human input is needed), it allows the stop.
