research-tools

dev-digest-ai-marketplace

A Claude Code plugin marketplace for the DevDigest team AI harness. It packages the reusable parts of the harness — the SDD (Spec-Driven Development) workflow, shared engineering skills, a research agent, and a generalized architecture reviewer — so any team repository can install them without copying files from the DevDigest working tree.

Plugins

Plugin	What it provides	Depends on
engineering-paved-path	12 shared knowledge skills (React, Next.js, Fastify, Drizzle, PostgreSQL, Zod, TypeScript, security, onion architecture, Mermaid, testing)	—
research-tools	researcher — generic read-only research agent (codebase + web)	—
architecture-review	architecture-reviewer — audits diffs against the repository's own documented architecture rules	engineering-paved-path
sdd-engineering	The SDD workflow: spec-creator, implementation-planner, implementer, plan-verifier agents; run-plan, workflow-retro, engineering-insights skills	all three above

What was extracted, and why

The DevDigest harness files were classified into four groups. Only the first group ships here.

Group	Components	Disposition
Reusable	12 knowledge skills (React/Next/Fastify/Drizzle/PostgreSQL/Zod/TypeScript/security/onion-architecture/Mermaid/testing); researcher; architecture-reviewer (generalized); spec-creator, implementation-planner, implementer, plan-verifier; run-plan (formerly impl), workflow-retro, engineering-insights (generalized); their references and eval scenarios	Extracted into the four plugins after an editorial pass that removed every DevDigest-specific path, module name, and bare-name reference
Project-specific	DevDigest CLAUDE.md, pr-self-review skill + hooks, architecture-reviewer-lite, doc-writer, dependency-checker, the vitest eval harness, the devdigest MCP server, product specs	Stay in the DevDigest repository — they encode its modules, contracts, and CI
Optional integrations	Convention MCP tools used by spec-creator for grounding	Removed from required tools:; the agent falls back to CLAUDE.md/docs/code search when absent
Local leftovers	Caches, personal memory, experiment workspaces, absolute paths	Not extracted

Why each reusable component updates together with the SDD workflow: the workflow is the consumer contract — run-plan dispatches sdd-engineering:implementer and the review gates, the planner assigns engineering-paved-path:* skills to tasks, and the spec/plan formats are the interfaces between the agents. Components with an independent consumer scenario (researcher, architecture-reviewer, the knowledge skills) live in their own plugins and are consumed as version-constrained dependencies; workflow-retro has no consumer scenario outside the SDD lifecycle, so it stays inside sdd-engineering and is invoked manually only.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add yamchinsky/dev-digest-ai-marketplace
claude plugin install sdd-engineering@dev-digest-ai-marketplace --scope project

Installing sdd-engineering automatically installs its three dependencies; the install output lists them at the end.

Catalog UI

A searchable static catalog is published on GitHub Pages: https://yamchinsky.github.io/dev-digest-ai-marketplace/. It is generated from the repository files (scripts/build-index.mjs) — never edited by hand.

Repository layout

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json   # the catalog manifest
plugins/<name>/                   # one directory per plugin (source of truth)
docs/                             # guidelines, security, releases, site spec
scripts/build-index.mjs           # generates the site search index
site/                             # static catalog UI (Vite + React)

Governance

• CONTRIBUTING.md — from proposal to merged pull request.
• docs/PLUGIN-GUIDELINES.md — naming, required structure, manifest fields, dependency rules.
• docs/SECURITY.md — permissions, secrets policy, incident response.
• docs/RELEASES.md — SemVer, tags, update and rollback.
• CODEOWNERS — who reviews and who can release.

Plugin versions live in each plugin's plugin.json. A marketplace commit or tag pins the state of the catalog; releases are immutable git tags of the form {plugin-name}--v{version}.
