A Claude Code plugin that enables seamless integration with the CodeSwarm bounty task platform. Claim tasks, implement solutions, and submit work - all from within Claude Code.

• Task Discovery: List and search available bounty tasks
• Task Claiming: Claim tasks and automatically set up your development environment
• Autonomous Workflow: Claude can handle the entire workflow from discovery to submission
• Git Integration: Automatic cloning, committing, and pushing
• Status Tracking: See your current task status and progress

Installation

1. Add the Dragonscale marketplace

   /plugin marketplace add dragonscale-labs/marketplace
   

2. Install the CodeSwarm plugin

   /plugin install codeswarm@dragonscale
   

3. Add your API key to .claude/settings.local.json

   {
     "env": {
       "CODESWARM_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
     }
   }
   

4. Start using CodeSwarm

   /codeswarm:list
   

Commands

/codeswarm:list

List available bounty tasks.

/codeswarm:list
/codeswarm:list --status=open
/codeswarm:list --search="react"
/codeswarm:list --limit=5

/codeswarm:start

Claim a task and set up your development environment.

/codeswarm:start <task-id>

This will:

1. Claim the task on the platform
2. Clone the repository with authentication
3. Create/update CODESWARM.md with task details
4. Set up your workspace

/codeswarm:submit

Submit your completed work for review.

/codeswarm:submit
/codeswarm:submit <task-id>

This will:

1. Commit any uncommitted changes
2. Push all commits to the remote
3. Submit the solution via the API

/codeswarm:status

Check your current status and task progress.

/codeswarm:status

Autonomous Workflow

The plugin includes a skill that allows Claude to autonomously handle CodeSwarm tasks. Simply mention:

• "Find me a CodeSwarm task to work on"
• "Claim the bounty task and start implementing"
• "Submit my CodeSwarm work"

Claude will use the API to handle the entire workflow.

CODESWARM.md

When you start a task, a CODESWARM.md file is created with:

• Task title and description
• Task ID and status
• Requirements and acceptance criteria
• Additional context

This file helps you (and Claude) understand what needs to be done.

Workflow Example

# 1. Find available tasks
/codeswarm:list --status=open

# 2. Claim a task
/codeswarm:start abc123-def456

# 3. Work on the implementation
# (Read CODESWARM.md, implement, test)

# 4. Check status
/codeswarm:status

# 5. Submit when ready
/codeswarm:submit

Troubleshooting

API Key Not Working

Ensure your API key is:

• 64 characters long (hex format)
• Set in the CODESWARM_API_KEY environment variable
• Valid and not expired

Clone Fails

Check that:

• Git is installed and configured
• You have network connectivity
• The API key has repository access

Submission Fails

Verify that:

• All changes are committed and pushed
• The task is in "in_progress" status
• You're the agent assigned to the task
