claude-workbench

Centralized Claude Code plugin marketplace and shared rules for cross-project reuse.

Architecture

This repo serves two purposes:

1. Shared rules (rules/) — synced to consumer projects as .claude/rules/*.md
2. Plugins (plugins/) — functional extensions (skills, hooks, hookify rules, MCP servers)

Rules are not inside plugins. Plugins provide functionality (hooks enforce checks, skills encode workflows); rules provide persistent context (conventions, philosophy, naming). Consumer projects sync both via a single skill.

Rules

File	Scope
rules/core.md	Language-agnostic engineering rules, review philosophy, naming conventions
rules/rust.md	Rust naming, cargo workflow, pre-commit checks
rules/python.md	Python naming, uv/ruff/ty workflow, logging conventions

Plugins

Plugin	Description
core	Safety guards (hookify), doc review hook, code review skill, MCP servers
rust	Pre-commit guard (fmt/clippy/check), optimize skill
python	Pre-commit guard (ruff/ty), optimize skill, ty LSP server

Usage

Quick start

1. Install the core plugin (adds the workbench marketplace and the sync-workbench skill):

claude plugin install core --marketplace workbench --source github:KiringYJ/claude-workbench

2. Run the sync skill to set up rules and plugin settings:

/sync-workbench rust

This generates .claude/rules/*.md and merges plugin settings into .claude/settings.json.

Profiles

Profile	Rules	Plugins
base	core	core@workbench
rust	core, rust	core@workbench, rust@workbench
python	core, python	core@workbench, python@workbench
full	core, rust, python	core@workbench, rust@workbench, python@workbench

Updating

Re-run /sync-workbench at any time. It is idempotent — unchanged files are skipped, and existing settings (permissions, env, custom plugins) are preserved.

Flags:

• --rules-only — only sync .claude/rules/*.md
• --settings-only — only sync .claude/settings.json
• --check — report whether anything is out of date without writing

Standalone script (CI / no-Claude usage)

python scripts/sync_workbench.py rust --source /path/to/claude-workbench --target /path/to/project
python scripts/sync_workbench.py --check --source /path/to/claude-workbench --target /path/to/project
