roach Marketplace

Private Claude Code plugin marketplace.

Background

The core plugins — roach, preroach, and agent-browser — derive from the Claude Code configurations of HumanLayer and obra/superpowers, restructured into a unified plugin with domain-scoped artifact storage (thoughts/shared/{plans|research|handoffs}/<domain>/).

The marketplace also includes community-contributed plugins from Jeremy Longshore for CI/CD, Ansible, Docker Compose, and database query profiling.

Install required CLI tools

ripgrep (required — used by Claude Code for codebase searching):

Platform	Command
macOS	brew install ripgrep
Linux	apt install ripgrep or cargo install ripgrep
Windows	winget install BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC or choco install ripgrep

agent-browser (recommended — enables browser automation):

# All platforms (requires Node.js)
npm install -g agent-browser
agent-browser install

Configure JetBrains MCP (recommended)

If you use a JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm, etc.):

1. Open your JetBrains IDE
2. Go to Settings > Tools > MCP Server
3. Check Enable MCP Server
4. In the Clients Auto-Configuration section, click Auto-Configure next to Claude Code
5. Restart Claude Code

roach detects JetBrains MCP availability at session start and tells the agent whether to use JetBrains tools or fall back to built-in tools.

roach warns at session start if any companion is missing.

Team Distribution

Add this to your project's .claude/settings.json to auto-prompt teammates:

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "roach-marketplace": {
      "source": {
        "source": "github",
        "repo": "stefanfaur/roach-marketplace"
      }
    }
  }
}

What Each Plugin Does

roach

The core plugin. Derived from obra/superpowers and HumanLayer's Claude Code configurations, restructured into a single plugin with domain-scoped artifact storage (thoughts/shared/{plans|research|handoffs}/<domain>/).

A SessionStart hook injects the foundational skill into every session, forcing Claude to check for applicable skills before responding. A PostToolUse hook monitors context window usage after every tool call and warns when remaining context drops below 35% (warning) or 25% (critical), prompting handoff creation before context runs out.
