From eac51b6c19a691d338a5c9540e1e9dc3ce8fb5ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dean Sharon Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:01:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add Claude Code plugin with Skimmer agent Ship a Skimmer agent as a Claude Code plugin for codebase orientation. Users can install via marketplace (`/plugin marketplace add dean0x/skim`) or from the official plugin directory once submitted. - Marketplace manifest at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json - Skimmer agent (ported from devflow, adapted for standalone use) - /skim slash command for task-focused codebase orientation - CI workflow to sync plugins/skimmer/ to dean0x/skimmer repo --- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | 18 +++ .github/workflows/sync-skimmer-plugin.yml | 29 ++++ README.md | 26 ++++ plugins/skimmer/.claude-plugin/plugin.json | 15 +++ plugins/skimmer/agents/skimmer.md | 150 +++++++++++++++++++++ plugins/skimmer/commands/skim.md | 55 ++++++++ 6 files changed, 293 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .claude-plugin/marketplace.json create mode 100644 .github/workflows/sync-skimmer-plugin.yml create mode 100644 plugins/skimmer/.claude-plugin/plugin.json create mode 100644 plugins/skimmer/agents/skimmer.md create mode 100644 plugins/skimmer/commands/skim.md diff --git a/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a085b0c --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +{ + "$schema": "https://anthropic.com/claude-code/marketplace.schema.json", + "name": "skim", + "description": "Skim - Smart code reader for AI agents", + "owner": { + "name": "Dean Keren", + "email": "dean@keren.dev" + }, + "plugins": [ + { + "name": "skimmer", + "source": "./plugins/skimmer", + "description": "Codebase orientation agent powered by rskim - understand project structure, find relevant code, plan integration", + "version": "1.0.0", + "keywords": ["codebase", "orientation", "structure", "code-reader", "agent"] + } + ] +} diff --git a/.github/workflows/sync-skimmer-plugin.yml b/.github/workflows/sync-skimmer-plugin.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..33ff48c --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/workflows/sync-skimmer-plugin.yml @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +name: Sync Skimmer Plugin + +on: + push: + branches: [main] + paths: + - 'plugins/skimmer/**' + +jobs: + sync: + name: Sync to dean0x/skimmer + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + steps: + - uses: actions/checkout@v4 + with: + fetch-depth: 0 + + - name: Push plugin subtree to standalone repo + env: + GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SKIMMER_DEPLOY_TOKEN }} + run: | + git config user.name "github-actions[bot]" + git config user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com" + + # Extract the plugins/skimmer subtree into a temporary branch + git subtree split --prefix=plugins/skimmer -b skimmer-standalone + + # Push to the standalone repo + git push "https://x-access-token:${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com/dean0x/skimmer.git" skimmer-standalone:main --force diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 2a00cbc..276bb8d 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -355,6 +355,32 @@ skim src/auth/ | less 📖 **[10 Detailed Use Cases →](docs/use-cases.md)** +## Claude Code Plugin + +Skim ships a Claude Code plugin that adds a `/skim` command and Skimmer agent for codebase orientation directly inside Claude Code sessions. + +### Install + +```bash +# Add the skim marketplace +/plugin marketplace add dean0x/skim + +# Install the skimmer plugin +/plugin install skimmer +``` + +### Usage + +```bash +# Orient for a specific task +/skim add JWT authentication + +# General codebase orientation +/skim +``` + +The Skimmer agent maps project structure, finds task-relevant code, and generates an integration plan — all powered by `rskim` under the hood. + ## Caching **Caching is enabled by default** for 40-50x faster repeated processing. diff --git a/plugins/skimmer/.claude-plugin/plugin.json b/plugins/skimmer/.claude-plugin/plugin.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d9ab384 --- /dev/null +++ b/plugins/skimmer/.claude-plugin/plugin.json @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +{ + "name": "skimmer", + "description": "Codebase orientation agent using rskim for structure extraction and task-relevant code discovery", + "author": { + "name": "Dean Keren", + "email": "dean@keren.dev" + }, + "version": "1.0.0", + "homepage": "https://github.com/dean0x/skim", + "repository": "https://github.com/dean0x/skim", + "license": "MIT", + "keywords": ["codebase", "orientation", "structure", "code-reader"], + "agents": [], + "skills": [] +} diff --git a/plugins/skimmer/agents/skimmer.md b/plugins/skimmer/agents/skimmer.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2975dfa --- /dev/null +++ b/plugins/skimmer/agents/skimmer.md @@ -0,0 +1,150 @@ +--- +name: Skimmer +description: Codebase orientation using skim to identify relevant files, functions, and patterns for a feature or task +model: inherit +allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob +--- + +# Skimmer Agent + +You are a codebase orientation specialist using `rskim` to efficiently understand codebases.
