dotclaude — Hilab Claude Code plugin marketplace

Curated Claude Code plugins for the Hilab team, built from dotclaude presets. Add the marketplace once, then install only the plugins you need per machine or project.

For details on what dotclaude is, how it's organized, and how to author your own preset / build new plugin bundles, see ABOUT.md.

Install via Claude Code marketplace

1. Make sure you can reach Hilab GitLab

The marketplace lives at gitlab.hilab.cloud/hilabaikit/dotclaude. SSH access is required (port 2424):

# Add an SSH key in GitLab → User settings → SSH Keys, then verify:
ssh -T [email protected] -p 2424
# Expected: "Welcome to GitLab, @<your-username>!"

If you've never cloned a Hilab repo before, the GitLab SSH setup docs walk through key creation.

2. Add the marketplace to Claude Code

Inside any Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add ssh://[email protected]:2424/hilabaikit/dotclaude.git

Claude Code will clone the repo into its local marketplace cache and read .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — the marketplace is registered under the name hilab-dotclaude. To refresh later:

/plugin marketplace update hilab-dotclaude

3. Install a plugin

/plugin install <plugin-name>@hilab-dotclaude

For example:

/plugin install developer@hilab-dotclaude          # at user level
/plugin install cistreaming@hilab-dotclaude     # for the streaming team
/plugin install core@hilab-dotclaude

Browse what's available without installing:

/plugin marketplace list hilab-dotclaude

4. Update or remove

/plugin update <plugin-name>      # pull latest bundle from the marketplace
/plugin uninstall <plugin-name>   # remove from this Claude install

Recommended install order

Start small and stack:

1. Everyone: core — context management + productivity baseline.
2. Most engineers: add ai-native (self-learning) and developer (GitHub / quality gates).
3. Backend / frontend: add nestjs and/or nextjs as needed.
4. Streaming team: install cistreaming (it extends nestjs + nextjs so you get those transitively — don't double install).
5. Working inside this repo: add dotclaude-self for the preset-authoring tooling.

Branch workflow — develop vs master

This repo uses two long-lived branches:

Branch	Contains upstream/ submodules?	Purpose
develop	Yes (~270 MB)	Active development branch — vendoring from upstream, sync scripts, full dev environment. All PRs / MRs target this branch.
master	No	Lean release branch consumed by Claude Code marketplace. /plugin marketplace add clones this branch, so it must stay small for fast installs.

Rules:
