npx claudepluginhub oliverames/ames-claude --plugin ames-preferred-mcpsOliver's personal Claude Code plugins, skills, and marketplace — all in one repo. This is the source of truth for the portable Claude setup: plugins feed Claude Code directly via the ames-claude marketplace.
plugins/<name>/ Plugins (each has .claude-plugin/plugin.json)
plugins/ames-standalone-skills/skills/ Standalone skills (edit here directly, no build step)
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json Marketplace manifest (auto-generated by sync)
Skills are developed directly inside plugins/ames-standalone-skills/skills/. There is no top-level skills/ directory — the plugin IS the delivery mechanism.
sync-skills # In PATH via ~/Developer/scripts/
Two phases:
Phase 1 — Publish (local repo → GitHub):
plugin.json.claude-plugin/marketplace.json from all active plugin manifestsplugin.json and marketplace.json, pushes to GitHubPhase 2 — Install (GitHub → local Claude, via official claude plugin CLI):
4. Register marketplace — adds github.com/oliverames/ames-claude as a claude plugin marketplace source
5. Update marketplace — runs claude plugin marketplace update ames-claude
6. Install / update plugins — runs claude plugin update or claude plugin install for each plugin
7. Remove stale plugins — uninstalls any @ames-claude plugins no longer in the marketplace
