Ensemble Plugins

Modular plugin ecosystem for Claude Code, enabling flexible, pay-what-you-need AI-augmented development workflows.

Overview

Ensemble Plugins v5.0.0 provides a modular plugin system for Claude Code, allowing developers to install only the capabilities they need—from core orchestration to framework-specific skills.

Architecture

The plugin ecosystem is organized into 4 tiers across 24 packages:

Tier 1: Core Foundation

• ensemble-core (5.0.0) - Essential orchestration, agents, and utilities

Tier 2: Workflow Plugins

• ensemble-product - Product management (PRD creation, analysis)
• ensemble-development - Frontend/backend implementation agents
• ensemble-quality - Code review, testing, DoD enforcement
• ensemble-infrastructure - AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Fly.io automation
• ensemble-git - Git workflow and conventional commits
• ensemble-e2e-testing - Playwright integration for E2E testing
• ensemble-metrics - Productivity analytics and dashboard

Tier 3: Framework Skills

• ensemble-react - React component development
• ensemble-nestjs - NestJS backend patterns
• ensemble-rails - Ruby on Rails MVC
• ensemble-phoenix - Phoenix LiveView patterns
• ensemble-blazor - Blazor .NET components

Tier 4: Testing Framework Integration

• ensemble-jest - Jest testing patterns
• ensemble-pytest - Pytest testing patterns
• ensemble-rspec - RSpec testing patterns
• ensemble-xunit - xUnit testing patterns
• ensemble-exunit - ExUnit testing patterns

Utilities

• ensemble-agent-progress-pane (5.1.0) - Real-time subagent monitoring in terminal panes
• ensemble-task-progress-pane (5.0.0) - TodoWrite progress visualization
• ensemble-multiplexer-adapters - Terminal multiplexer abstraction layer

Runtime Translation

• ensemble-opencode (5.3.0) - OpenCode runtime support (translates Ensemble artifacts to OpenCode-compatible formats)

Meta-Package

• ensemble-full - Complete ecosystem (all plugins bundled)

Installation

Plugins are installed using Claude Code's interactive /plugin command.

Quick Start (Full Ecosystem)

In Claude Code, run:

# Add the Ensemble marketplace
/plugin marketplace add FortiumPartners/ensemble

# Install the full bundle (all plugins)
/plugin install ensemble-full@ensemble

Or use the interactive UI: type /plugin → Discover tab → select ensemble-full → choose your scope.

Modular Installation

Install only what you need from the marketplace:

# Core foundation (required)
/plugin install ensemble-core@ensemble

# Workflow plugins
/plugin install ensemble-product@ensemble
/plugin install ensemble-development@ensemble
/plugin install ensemble-quality@ensemble
/plugin install ensemble-infrastructure@ensemble
/plugin install ensemble-git@ensemble
/plugin install ensemble-e2e-testing@ensemble

# Framework skills (optional)
/plugin install ensemble-react@ensemble
/plugin install ensemble-nestjs@ensemble

# Testing support (optional)
/plugin install ensemble-jest@ensemble
/plugin install ensemble-pytest@ensemble

Local Installation (Development)

For local development or testing, use the --plugin-dir flag:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/FortiumPartners/ensemble.git

# Run Claude Code with a local plugin
claude --plugin-dir ./ensemble/packages/core

Installation Scopes

When installing plugins, you can choose a scope:

• User (default) — available across all your projects
• Project — shared with collaborators via .claude/settings.json
• Local — personal, per-repository (not shared)

Usage

After installation, plugins automatically register their agents, commands, and skills with Claude Code.

Available Commands

Commands are provided by specific plugins:

• /create-prd - Product requirements (ensemble-product)
• /create-trd - Technical requirements (ensemble-core)
• /implement-trd - TRD implementation (ensemble-development)
• /fold-prompt - Project optimization (ensemble-core)
• /dashboard - Metrics dashboard (ensemble-metrics)

Agent Mesh

Plugins provide 28 specialized agents across domains:

• Orchestrators: ai-mesh-orchestrator, tech-lead-orchestrator, product-management-orchestrator, qa-orchestrator, build-orchestrator, deployment-orchestrator, infrastructure-orchestrator
• Developers: frontend-developer, backend-developer, infrastructure-developer
• Quality: code-reviewer, test-runner, playwright-tester, deep-debugger
• Specialists: documentation-specialist, api-documentation-specialist, postgresql-specialist, github-specialist, helm-chart-specialist
• Utilities: git-workflow, file-creator, context-fetcher, directory-monitor, release-agent, agent-meta-engineer
