Interactive skill builder that scaffolds complete Claude Code skills end-to-end. Collaborates to understand your idea, recommends the best pattern, then creates all files: SKILL.md with frontmatter, references/, scripts/, assets/. Use when: build me a skill, scaffold a skill, create a new skill, make a skill, help me build a skill, new skill from scratch, skill setup, set up a skill, I have an idea for a skill, skill scaffolding, generate a skill.
Staff-engineer-level review of Claude Code skills with structured grading and actionable uplift recommendations. Reads a skill, grades it across 8 dimensions (structure, description, body, invocation, progressive disclosure, triggers, content strategy, plugin integration), then generates a comprehensive remediation prompt you can use to fix everything. Use when: review my skill, audit a skill, grade my skill, skill review, is my skill good, what's wrong with my skill, improve my skill, uplift skill, skill health check, skill quality check, critique my skill, rate my skill.
Functional smoke testing for Claude Code skills. Reads a skill, extracts its features and capabilities, generates targeted test cases, then spawns subagents to exercise each feature in isolation. Tests what the skill can DO, not whether it follows conventions. Use when: smoke test my skill, test my skill, does my skill work, run skill tests, test skill features, functional test, exercise my skill, skill smoke test, verify my skill works, can my skill actually do this, skill QA.
Knowledge bank for building Claude Code skills -- skill anatomy, SKILL.md authoring, frontmatter fields, progressive disclosure, design patterns, distribution, and troubleshooting. Triggers on: build a skill, create a skill, write a skill, SKILL.md, skill frontmatter, what goes in SKILL.md, skill not loading, my skill isn't working, skill not triggering, get started with skills, how do skills work, skill structure, skill folder, skill description, skill name, allowed-tools, disable-model-invocation, user-invocable, argument-hint, context fork, skill subagent, progressive disclosure, reference files, bundled resources, skill patterns, distribute skill, share skill, publish skill, install skill, personal skill, project skill, plugin skill, enterprise skill, skill-creator, skill conventions, skill best practices, what is a skill, local vs project skill, skill testing, skill debugging.

Triggers on: sub-agent, subagent, Task tool, spawn agent, agent teams, custom agent, create an agent, configure agent, agent frontmatter, agent memory, persistent memory, agent hooks, permissionMode, context isolation, background agent, foreground agent, resume agent, agent costs, agent tokens, CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL, agent team, teammate, delegate mode, agent not working, agent not spawning, subagent error, MCP in subagent, when to use subagent, subagent vs skill, subagent vs agent team, Task(agent_type), disallowedTools, bypassPermissions, explore agent, plan agent, general-purpose agent, agent model selection, maxTurns, SubagentStart hook, SubagentStop hook, preload skills into agent.
Curated, verified Claude Code plugins for compound engineering workflows.
A marketplace of Claude Code plugins that encode expertise into reusable, composable units. Each plugin is self-contained with its own manifest, skills, commands, agents, and hooks. No hard dependencies between plugins.
Every plugin in this marketplace is verified -- it passes the acceptance checklist, installs cleanly, and has at least one working end-to-end flow. The "compound engineering" philosophy means plugins work well alone but compound when combined: git safety hooks protect your commits while enterprise orchestrates multi-agent builds and newsroom researches community sentiment.
Add the marketplace and install plugins:
# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add nathanvale/side-quest-plugins
# Install a plugin
/plugin install git@side-quest
# Use it
/git:commit
| Plugin | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| git | development | Git workflows with 10 commands, safety hooks, and session logging. Blocks force push, enforces conventional commits, preserves session memory across context compressions. |
| enterprise | development | Multi-agent engineering orchestrator with Star Trek metaphor. Spock coordinates Scotty (builder) and McCoy (validator) for documentation, code review, and refactoring. 9 commands, 8 skills, 3 agents. |
| newsroom | productivity | Multi-agent research across Reddit, X, and the web. Mickey "The Desk" Malone dispatches beat reporters in parallel with engagement metrics and source links. 2 commands, 2 skills, 1 agent. |
Starter packs group related plugins for common workflows. Each plugin installs independently -- packs are a discovery shortcut, not a bundle.
| Pack | Plugins | Description |
|---|---|---|
| quality-gates | bun-runner, tsc-runner, biome-runner | Lint, type-check, and test your code |
| compound-engineering | git, enterprise, newsroom | Full CE stack -- safety, orchestration, research |
| code-intelligence | kit, claude-code | Semantic search, navigation, Claude Code knowledge |
Install a pack by installing each plugin:
# Quality Gates
/plugin install bun-runner@side-quest
/plugin install tsc-runner@side-quest
/plugin install biome-runner@side-quest
If you previously installed plugins via ln -s:
rm ~/.claude/plugins/{git,enterprise,newsroom}/plugin marketplace add nathanvale/side-quest-plugins/plugin install git@side-quest (repeat for each plugin)Plugins not yet in the marketplace can continue using symlinks.
See docs/plugin-standards.md for the acceptance checklist, category system, versioning policy, and contribution guide.
V1.1 adds core development tools (bun-runner, tsc-runner, biome-runner, kit). See docs/plugin-roadmap.md.
git clone https://github.com/nathanvale/side-quest-plugins.git
cd side-quest-plugins
bun install
bun run validate # Full gate: lint + typecheck + marketplace validation
bun run validate:marketplace # Marketplace structure checks only
Individual checks:
bun run check # Biome lint + format
bun run typecheck # TypeScript type check
Branch naming: type/description (e.g., feat/add-plugin, fix/manifest-merge). Commits use Conventional Commits enforced by commitlint. CI runs bun run validate:marketplace --check-bump on PRs to enforce marketplace.json structure and version bumps. Run bun run validate before pushing.
