**Location**: `skills/skill-name/SKILL.md`
|
||||
**Format**: Markdown with YAML frontmatter
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontmatter Fields
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Required | Type | Description |
|
||||
| ------------- | -------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `name` | Yes | String | Skill identifier (lowercase, hyphens; matches dir name) |
|
||||
| `description` | Yes | String | Third-person description with trigger phrases |
|
||||
| `metadata` | No | Map | Arbitrary key-value pairs (e.g., `version`, `author`) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Skill
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: api-design
|
||||
description: >
|
||||
This skill should be used when the user asks to "design an API",
|
||||
"create API endpoints", "review API structure", or needs guidance
|
||||
on REST API best practices, endpoint naming, or request/response design.
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
version: "0.1.0"
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Writing Style Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- **Frontmatter description**: Third-person ("This skill should be used when..."), with specific trigger phrases in quotes.
|
||||
- **Body**: Imperative/infinitive form ("Parse the config file," not "You should parse the config file").
|
||||
- **Length**: Keep SKILL.md body under 3,000 words (ideally 1,500-2,000). Move detailed content to `references/`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Skill Directory Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
skill-name/
|
||||
├── SKILL.md # Core knowledge (required)
|
||||
├── references/ # Detailed docs loaded on demand
|
||||
│ ├── patterns.md
|
||||
│ └── advanced.md
|

|
||||
│ └── sample-config.json
|
||||
└── scripts/ # Utility scripts
|
||||
└── validate.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Progressive Disclosure Levels
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Metadata** (always in context): name + description (~100 words)
|
||||
2. **SKILL.md body** (when skill triggers): core knowledge (<5k words)
|
||||
3. **Bundled resources** (as needed): references, examples, scripts (unlimited)
|
||||
|
||||
## Agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `agents/agent-name.md`
|
||||
**Format**: Markdown with YAML frontmatter

- Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens only
|
||||
- Must start and end with alphanumeric
|
||||
- No underscores, spaces, or special characters
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Guidelines

|
||||
## Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `hooks/hooks.json`
|
||||
**Format**: JSON
|
||||
|
||||
### Available Events
|
||||
|
||||
| Event | When it fires |
|
||||
| ------------------ | ------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `PreToolUse` | Before a tool call executes |
|
||||
| `PostToolUse` | After a tool call completes |
|
||||
| `Stop` | When Claude finishes a response |
|
||||
| `SubagentStop` | When a subagent finishes |
|
||||
| `SessionStart` | When a session begins |
|
||||
| `SessionEnd` | When a session ends |
|
||||
| `UserPromptSubmit` | When the user sends a message |
|
||||
| `PreCompact` | Before context compaction |
|
||||
| `Notification` | When a notification fires |
|
||||
|
||||
### Hook Types
|
||||
|
||||
**Prompt-based** (recommended for complex logic):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "prompt",
|
||||
"prompt": "Evaluate whether this file write follows project conventions: $TOOL_INPUT",
|
||||
"timeout": 30
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Supported events: Stop, SubagentStop, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse.
|
||||
|
||||
**Command-based** (deterministic checks):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "command",
|
||||
"command": "bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/validate.sh",
|
||||
"timeout": 60
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example hooks.json
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"PreToolUse": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"matcher": "Write|Edit",
|
||||
"hooks": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "prompt",
|
||||
"prompt": "Check that this file write follows project coding standards. If it violates standards, explain why and block.",
|
||||
"timeout": 30
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"SessionStart": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"matcher": "",
|
||||
"hooks": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "command",
|
||||
"command": "cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/project-context.md",
|
||||
"timeout": 10
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Hook Output Format (Command Hooks)
|
||||
|
||||
Command hooks return JSON to stdout:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"decision": "block",
|
||||
"reason": "File write violates naming convention"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Decisions: `approve`, `block`, `ask_user` (ask for confirmation).
|
||||
|
||||
## MCP Servers
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `.mcp.json` at plugin root
|
||||
**Format**: JSON
|
||||
|
||||
### Server Types
|
||||
|
||||
**stdio** (local process):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"my-server": {
|
||||
"command": "node",
|
||||
"args": ["${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/servers/server.js"],
|
||||
"env": {
|
||||
"API_KEY": "${API_KEY}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**SSE** (remote server, server-sent events transport):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"asana": {
|
||||
"type": "sse",
|
||||
"url": "https://mcp.asana.com/sse"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**HTTP** (remote server, streamable HTTP transport):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"api-service": {
|
||||
"type": "http",
|
||||
"url": "https://api.example.com/mcp",
|
||||
"headers": {
|
||||
"Authorization": "Bearer ${API_TOKEN}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variable Expansion
|
||||
|
||||
All MCP configs support `${VAR_NAME}` substitution:
|
||||
|
||||
- `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` — plugin directory (always use for portability)
|
||||
- `${ANY_ENV_VAR}` — user environment variables
|
||||
|
||||
Document all required environment variables in the plugin README.
|
||||
|
||||
### Directory Servers Without a URL
|
||||
|
||||
Some MCP directory entries have no `url` because the endpoint is dynamic. Plugins can reference these servers by **name** instead — if the server name in the plugin's MCP config matches the directory entry name, it is treated the same as a URL match.
|
||||
|
||||
## Commands (Legacy)
|
||||
|
||||
> **Prefer `skills/*/SKILL.md` for new plugins.** The Cowork UI now presents commands and skills as a single "Skills" concept. The `commands/` format still works, but only use it if you specifically need the single-file format with `$ARGUMENTS`/`$1` substitution and inline bash execution.
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `commands/command-name.md`
|
||||
**Format**: Markdown with optional YAML frontmatter
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontmatter Fields
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Required | Type | Description |
|
||||
| --------------- | -------- | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `description` | No | String | Brief description shown in `/help` (under 60 chars) |
|
||||
| `allowed-tools` | No | String or Array | Tools the command can use |
|
||||
| `model` | No | String | Model override: `sonnet`, `opus`, `haiku` |
|
||||
| `argument-hint` | No | String | Documents expected arguments for autocomplete |
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Command
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
---
|
||||
description: Review code for security issues
|
||||
allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Bash(git:*)
|
||||
argument-hint: [file-path]
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Review @$1 for security vulnerabilities including:
|
||||
|
||||
- SQL injection
|
||||
- XSS attacks
|
||||
- Authentication bypass
|
||||
- Insecure data handling
|
||||
|
||||
Provide specific line numbers, severity ratings, and remediation suggestions.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Commands are instructions FOR Claude, not messages for the user. Write them as directives.
|
||||
- `$ARGUMENTS` captures all arguments as a single string; `$1`, `$2`, `$3` capture positional arguments.
|
||||
- `@path` syntax includes file contents in the command context.
|
||||
- `!` backtick syntax executes bash inline for dynamic context (e.g., `` !`git diff --name-only` ``).
|
||||
- Use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` to reference plugin files portably.
|
||||
|
||||
### allowed-tools Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Specific tools
|
||||
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash(git:*)
|
||||
|
||||
# Bash with specific commands only
|
||||
allowed-tools: Bash(npm:*), Read
|
||||
|
||||
# MCP tools (specific)
|
||||
allowed-tools: ["mcp__plugin_name_server__tool_name"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CONNECTORS.md
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: Plugin root
|
||||
**When to create**: When the plugin references external tools by category rather than specific product
|
||||
|
||||
### Format
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# Connectors
|
||||
|
||||
## How tool references work
|
||||
|
||||
Plugin files use `~~category` as a placeholder for whatever tool the user
|
||||
connects in that category. For example, `~~project tracker` might mean
|
||||
Asana, Linear, Jira, or any other project tracker with an MCP server.
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins are tool-agnostic — they describe workflows in terms of categories
|
||||
rather than specific products.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connectors for this plugin
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Placeholder | Included servers | Other options |
|
||||
| --------------- | ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------ |
|
||||
| Chat | `~~chat` | Slack | Microsoft Teams, Discord |
|
||||
| Project tracker | `~~project tracker` | Linear | Asana, Jira, Monday |
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using ~~ Placeholders
|
||||
|
||||
In plugin files (skills, agents), reference tools generically:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
Check ~~project tracker for open tickets assigned to the user.
|
||||
Post a summary to ~~chat in the team channel.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
During customization (via the cowork-plugin-customizer skill), these get replaced with specific tool names.
|
||||
|
||||
## README.md
|
||||
|
||||
Every plugin should include a README with:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Overview** — what the plugin does
|
||||
2. **Components** — list of skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers
|
||||
3. **Setup** — any required environment variables or configuration
|
||||
4. **Usage** — how to trigger each skill
|
||||
5. **Customization** — if CONNECTORS.md exists, mention it

Run `git diff --name-only` to get the list of changed files.
|
||||
|
||||
For each changed file:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Read the file
|
||||
2. Check against the coding-standards skill for style violations
|
||||
3. Identify potential bugs or anti-patterns
|
||||
4. Flag any security concerns
|
||||
|
||||
Present a summary with:
|
||||
|
||||
- File path

Parse the linter output and fix each issue:
|
||||
|
||||
- For auto-fixable issues, apply the fix directly
|
||||
- For manual-fix issues, make the correction following project conventions
|

# Coding Standards
|
||||
|
||||
Project coding standards and conventions for consistent, high-quality code.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Use camelCase for variables and functions
|
||||
- Use PascalCase for classes and types
|
||||
- Prefer const over let; avoid var
|
||||
- Maximum line length: 100 characters
|
||||
- Use explicit return types on all exported functions
|
||||
|
||||
## Import Order
|
||||
|
||||
1. External packages
|
||||
2. Internal packages (aliased with @/)
|
||||
3. Relative imports
|
||||
4. Type-only imports last
|
||||

You are a ticket analysis specialist. Analyze tickets for priority, effort, and dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
**Your Core Responsibilities:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Categorize tickets by type (bug, feature, tech debt, improvement)
|
||||
2. Estimate relative effort (S, M, L, XL)
|
||||
3. Identify dependencies between tickets
|
||||
4. Recommend priority ordering
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis Process:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Read all ticket descriptions
|
||||
2. Categorize each by type
|
||||
3. Estimate effort based on scope
|
||||
4. Map dependencies
|
||||
5. Rank by impact-to-effort ratio
|
||||
|
||||
**Output Format:**
|
||||
| Ticket | Type | Effort | Dependencies | Priority |
|
||||
|--------|------|--------|-------------|----------|
|
||||
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
|
||||
|
||||
Followed by a brief rationale for the top 5 priorities.

Plugin files use `~~category` as a placeholder for whatever tool the user

# MCP Discovery and Connection
|
||||
|
||||
How to find and connect MCPs during plugin customization.
|
||||
|
||||
## Available Tools
|
||||
|
||||
### `search_mcp_registry`
|
||||
Search the MCP directory for available connectors.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** `{ "keywords": ["array", "of", "search", "terms"] }`
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Up to 10 results, each with:
|
||||
- `name`: MCP display name
|
||||
- `description`: One-liner description
|
||||
- `tools`: List of tool names the MCP provides
|
||||
- `url`: MCP endpoint URL (use this in `.mcp.json`)
|
||||
- `directoryUuid`: UUID for use with suggest_connectors
|
||||
- `connected`: Boolean - whether user has this MCP connected
|
||||
|
||||
### `suggest_connectors`
|
||||
Display Connect buttons to let users install/connect MCPs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** `{ "directoryUuids": ["uuid1", "uuid2"] }`
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Renders UI with Connect buttons for each MCP
|
||||
|
||||
## Category-to-Keywords Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Search Keywords |
|
||||
|----------|-----------------|
|
||||
| `project-management` | `["asana", "jira", "linear", "monday", "tasks"]` |
|
||||
| `software-coding` | `["github", "gitlab", "bitbucket", "code"]` |
|
||||
| `chat` | `["slack", "teams", "discord"]` |
|
||||
| `documents` | `["google docs", "notion", "confluence"]` |
|
||||
| `calendar` | `["google calendar", "calendar"]` |
|
||||
| `email` | `["gmail", "outlook", "email"]` |
|
||||
| `design-graphics` | `["figma", "sketch", "design"]` |
|
||||
| `analytics-bi` | `["datadog", "grafana", "analytics"]` |
|
||||
| `crm` | `["salesforce", "hubspot", "crm"]` |
|
||||
| `wiki-knowledge-base` | `["notion", "confluence", "outline", "wiki"]` |
|
||||
| `data-warehouse` | `["bigquery", "snowflake", "redshift"]` |
|
||||
| `conversation-intelligence` | `["gong", "chorus", "call recording"]` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Find customization point**: Look for `~~`-prefixed values (e.g., `~~Jira`)
|
||||
2. **Check earlier phase findings**: Did you already learn which tool they use?
|
||||
- **Yes**: Search for that specific tool to get its `url`, skip to step 5
|
||||
- **No**: Continue to step 3
|
||||
3. **Search**: Call `search_mcp_registry` with mapped keywords
|
||||
4. **Present choices and ask user**: Show all results, ask which they use
|
||||
5. **Connect if needed**: If not connected, call `suggest_connectors`
|
||||
6. **Update MCP config**: Add config using the `url` from search results
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating Plugin MCP Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Finding the Config File
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check `plugin.json`** for an `mcpServers` field:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-plugin",
|
||||
"mcpServers": "./config/servers.json"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
If present, edit the file at that path.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **If no `mcpServers` field**, use `.mcp.json` at the plugin root (default).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **If `mcpServers` points only to `.mcpb` files** (bundled servers), create a new `.mcp.json` at the plugin root.
|
||||
|
||||
### Config File Format
|
||||
|
||||
Both wrapped and unwrapped formats are supported:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"github": {
|
||||
"type": "http",
|
||||
"url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `url` field from `search_mcp_registry` results.
|
||||
|
||||
### Directory Entries Without a URL
|
||||
|
||||
Some directory entries have no `url` because the endpoint is dynamic — the admin provides it when connecting the server. These servers can still be referenced in the plugin's MCP config by **name**: if the MCP server name in the config matches the directory entry name, it is treated the same as a URL match.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: Fully Configured `.mcp.json`
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"github": {
|
||||
"type": "http",

# Knowledge MCP Search Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
Query patterns for gathering organizational context during plugin customization.
|
||||
|
||||
## Finding Tool Names
|
||||
|
||||
**Source control:**
|
||||
- Search: "GitHub" OR "GitLab" OR "Bitbucket"
|
||||
- Search: "pull request" OR "merge request"
|
||||
- Look for: repository links, CI/CD mentions
|
||||
|
||||
**Project management:**
|
||||
- Search: "Asana" OR "Jira" OR "Linear" OR "Monday"
|
||||
- Search: "sprint" AND "tickets"
|
||||
- Look for: task links, project board mentions
|
||||
|
||||
**Chat:**
|
||||
- Search: "Slack" OR "Teams" OR "Discord"
|
||||
- Look for: channel mentions, integration discussions
|
||||
|
||||
**Analytics:**
|
||||
- Search: "Datadog" OR "Grafana" OR "Mixpanel"
|
||||
- Search: "monitoring" OR "observability"
|
||||
- Look for: dashboard links, alert configurations
|
||||
|
||||
**Design:**
|
||||
- Search: "Figma" OR "Sketch" OR "Adobe XD"
|
||||
- Look for: design file links, handoff discussions
|
||||
|
||||
**CRM:**
|
||||
- Search: "Salesforce" OR "HubSpot"
|
||||
- Look for: deal mentions, customer record links
|
||||
|
||||
## Finding Organization Values
|
||||
|
||||
**Workspace/project IDs:**
|
||||
- Search for existing integrations or bookmarked links
|
||||
- Look for admin/setup documentation
|
||||
|
||||
**Team conventions:**
|
||||
- Search: "story points" OR "estimation"
|
||||
- Search: "workflow" OR "ticket status"
|
||||
- Look for engineering process docs
|
||||
|
||||
**Channel/team names:**
|
||||
- Search: "standup" OR "engineering" OR "releases"
|
||||
- Look for channel naming patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## When Knowledge MCPs Are Unavailable
|
||||
|
||||
If no knowledge MCPs are configured, skip automatic discovery and proceed directly to AskUserQuestion for all categories. Note: AskUserQuestion always includes a Skip button and a free-text input box for custom answers, so do not include `None` or `Other` as options.

|

ccVersion: 2.1.163
|

|
||||
# Token Counting
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `count_tokens` endpoint (`POST /v1/messages/count_tokens`) for accurate
|
||||
token counts against Claude models. Token counts are **model-specific** — pass
|
||||
the same model ID you'll use for inference.
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not use `tiktoken`.** It's OpenAI's tokenizer. It undercounts Claude
|
||||
tokens by ~15–20% on typical text, and by much more on code or non-English
|
||||
input. Any estimate from `tiktoken`, `gpt-tokenizer`, or similar is wrong for
|
||||
Claude.
|
||||
|
||||
## Count a file or string
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from anthropic import Anthropic
|
||||
|
||||
client = Anthropic()
|
||||
resp = client.messages.count_tokens(
|
||||
model="{{OPUS_ID}}",
|
||||
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": open("CLAUDE.md").read()}],
|
||||
)
|
||||
print(resp.input_tokens)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
TypeScript: `await client.messages.countTokens({model, messages})` →
|
||||
`.input_tokens`. See `{lang}/claude-api/README.md` for other SDKs.
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
ant messages count-tokens --model {{OPUS_ID}} \
|
||||
--message '{role: user, content: "@./CLAUDE.md"}' \
|
||||
--transform input_tokens -r
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Diffing a file across two versions
|
||||
|
||||
The endpoint is stateless — count each version separately and subtract:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from anthropic import Anthropic
|
||||
import subprocess
|
||||
|
||||
client = Anthropic()
|
||||
def count(text: str) -> int:
|
||||
return client.messages.count_tokens(
|
||||
model="{{OPUS_ID}}",
|
||||
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": text}],
|
||||
).input_tokens
|
||||
|
||||
before = subprocess.check_output(["git", "show", "HEAD:CLAUDE.md"], text=True)
|
||||
after = open("CLAUDE.md").read()
|
||||
print(count(after) - count(before))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|

# Cowork Plugin Authoring
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new Cowork plugin from scratch, or customize an existing one for a specific organization. Both paths deliver a ready-to-install `.plugin` file at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
## Determining the Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Decide from the user's request:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Customize** — the user names an existing installed plugin ("customize the X plugin", "configure X for my company", "set up the X plugin", "update the X skill"). Follow **Customizing an Existing Plugin** below.
|
||||
- **Create** — the user wants to build a plugin from scratch ("create a plugin for X", "make a new plugin", "build a plugin that does X"). Follow **Creating a New Plugin** below.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Nontechnical output**: Keep all user-facing conversation in plain language. Never mention file paths, directory structures, schema fields, `~~` prefixes, or placeholders unless the user asks. Frame everything in terms of what the plugin will do.
|
||||
|
||||
> **AskUserQuestion**: When you need input, use AskUserQuestion. Don't assume "industry standard" defaults are correct. AskUserQuestion always includes a Skip button and a free-text input box for custom answers, so do not include `None` or `Other` as options.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
A plugin is a self-contained directory that extends Claude with skills, agents, hooks, and MCP server integrations.
|
||||
|
||||
### Directory Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
plugin-name/
|
||||
├── .claude-plugin/
|
||||
│ └── plugin.json # Required: plugin manifest
|
||||
├── skills/ # Skills (subdirectories with SKILL.md)
|
||||
│ └── skill-name/
|
||||
│ ├── SKILL.md
|
||||
│ └── references/
|
||||
├── agents/ # Subagent definitions (.md files)
|
||||
├── .mcp.json # MCP server definitions
|
||||
└── README.md # Plugin documentation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Legacy `commands/` format**: Older plugins may include a `commands/` directory with single-file `.md` slash commands. This format still works, but new plugins should use `skills/*/SKILL.md` instead — the Cowork UI presents both as a single "Skills" concept, and the skills format supports progressive disclosure via `references/`. Treat `commands/*.md` files the same way you would `skills/*/SKILL.md` when customizing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Rules:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` is always required
|
||||
- Component directories (`skills/`, `agents/`) go at the plugin root, not inside `.claude-plugin/`
|
||||
- Only create directories for components the plugin actually uses
|
||||
- Use kebab-case for all directory and file names
|
||||
|
||||
### plugin.json Manifest
|
||||
|
||||
Located at `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`. Minimal required field is `name`.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "plugin-name",
|
||||
"version": "0.1.0",
|
||||
"description": "Brief explanation of plugin purpose",
|
||||
"author": {
|
||||
"name": "Author Name"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Name rules:** kebab-case, lowercase with hyphens, no spaces or special characters.
|
||||
**Version:** semver format (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH). Start at `0.1.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
Optional fields: `homepage`, `repository`, `license`, `keywords`.
|
||||
|
||||
Custom component paths can be specified (supplements, does not replace, auto-discovery):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"commands": "./custom-commands",
|
||||
"agents": ["./agents", "./specialized-agents"],
|
||||
"hooks": "./config/hooks.json",
|
||||
"mcpServers": "./.mcp.json"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Component Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Detailed schemas for each component type are in `references/component-schemas.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Location | Format |

This schema is shared with Claude Code's plugin system, but you're building for Claude Cowork, a desktop app for knowledge work. Cowork users will usually find skills the most useful. **Scaffold new plugins with `skills/*/SKILL.md` — do not create `commands/` unless the user explicitly needs the legacy single-file format.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Customizable plugins with `~~` placeholders
|
||||
|
||||
> **Do not use or ask about this pattern by default.** Only introduce `~~` placeholders if the user explicitly says they want people outside their organization to use the plugin. You can mention it as an option if they want to distribute externally, but do not proactively ask with AskUserQuestion.
|
||||
|
||||
When a plugin is intended to be shared outside the author's company, it might reference external tools by category rather than specific product (e.g., "project tracker" instead of "Jira"). Use generic language and mark these as requiring customization with two tilde characters: `create an issue in ~~project tracker`.
|
||||
|
||||
If any tool categories are used, write a `CONNECTORS.md` file at the plugin root to explain:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# Connectors
|
||||
|
||||
## How tool references work
|
||||
|
||||
Plugin files use `~~category` as a placeholder for whatever tool the user
|
||||
connects in that category. Plugins are tool-agnostic — they describe
|
||||
workflows in terms of categories rather than specific products.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connectors for this plugin
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Placeholder | Options |
|
||||
| --------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Chat | `~~chat` | Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord |
|
||||
| Project tracker | `~~project tracker` | Linear, Asana, Jira |
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} Variable
|
||||
|
||||
Use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` for all intra-plugin path references in hooks and MCP configs. Never hardcode absolute paths.
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a New Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
Build from scratch through a five-phase guided conversation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
Understand what the user wants to build and why. Ask (only what is unclear — skip questions the user's initial request already answers):
|
||||
|
||||
- What should this plugin do? What problem does it solve?
|
||||
- Who will use it and in what context?
|
||||
- Does it integrate with any external tools or services?
|
||||
- Is there a similar plugin or workflow to reference?
|
||||
|
||||
Summarize understanding and confirm before proceeding.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Component Planning
|
||||
|
||||
Based on discovery, determine which component types are needed:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Skills** — Specialized knowledge Claude loads on-demand, or user-initiated actions (domain expertise, reference schemas, workflow guides, deploy/configure/analyze/review actions)
|
||||
- **MCP Servers** — External service integration (databases, APIs, SaaS tools)
|
||||
- **Agents (uncommon)** — Autonomous multi-step tasks (validation, generation, analysis)
|
||||
- **Hooks (rare)** — Automatic behavior on certain events (enforce policies, load context, validate operations)
|
||||
|
||||
Present a component plan table including types you decided not to create:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
| Component | Count | Purpose |
|
||||
|-----------|-------|---------|
|
||||
| Skills | 3 | Domain knowledge for X, /do-thing, /check-thing |
|
||||
| Agents | 0 | Not needed |
|
||||
| Hooks | 1 | Validate writes |
|
||||
| MCP | 1 | Connect to service Y |
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get user confirmation before proceeding.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Design & Clarifying Questions
|
||||
|
||||
Specify each component in detail. Resolve all ambiguities before implementation. Present questions grouped by component type and wait for answers.
|
||||
|
||||
**Skills:**
|
||||
|
||||
- What user queries should trigger this skill?
|
||||
- What knowledge domains does it cover?
|
||||
- Should it include reference files for detailed content?
|
||||
- If it represents a user-initiated action: what arguments does it accept, and what tools does it need? (Read, Write, Bash, Grep, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Agents:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Should it trigger proactively or only when requested?
|
||||
- What tools does it need?
|
||||
- What output format?
|
||||
|
||||
**Hooks:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Which events? (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SessionStart, etc.)
|
||||
- What behavior — validate, block, modify, add context?
|
||||
- Prompt-based (LLM-driven) or command-based (deterministic script)?
|
||||
|
||||
**MCP Servers:**
|
||||
|
||||
- What server type? (stdio for local, SSE for hosted with OAuth, HTTP for REST APIs)
|
||||
- What authentication method?
|
||||
- What tools should be exposed?
|
||||
|
||||
If the user says "whatever you think is best," provide specific recommendations and get explicit confirmation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
Create all plugin files following best practices.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create the plugin directory structure
|
||||
2. Create `plugin.json` manifest
|
||||
3. Create each component (see `references/component-schemas.md` for exact formats)
|
||||
4. Create `README.md` documenting the plugin
|
||||
|
||||
**Guidelines:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Skills** use progressive disclosure: lean SKILL.md body (under 3,000 words), detailed content in `references/`. Frontmatter description must be third-person with specific trigger phrases. Skill bodies are instructions FOR Claude, not messages to the user — write them as directives.
|
||||
- **Agents** need a description with `<example>` blocks showing triggering conditions, plus a system prompt in the markdown body.
|
||||
- **Hooks** config goes in `hooks/hooks.json`. Use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` for script paths. Prefer prompt-based hooks for complex logic.
|
||||
- **MCP configs** go in `.mcp.json` at plugin root. Use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` for local server paths. Document required env vars in README.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Review
|
||||
|
||||
1. Summarize what was created — list each component and its purpose
|
||||
2. Ask if the user wants any adjustments
|
||||
3. Run `claude plugin validate <path-to-plugin-json>` to check the plugin structure. If this command is unavailable (e.g., when running inside Cowork), verify manually:
|
||||
- `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` exists and contains valid JSON with at least a `name` field
|
||||
- The `name` field is kebab-case (lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only)
|
||||
- Any component directories referenced by the plugin (`commands/`, `skills/`, `agents/`, `hooks/`) actually exist and contain files in the expected formats — `.md` for commands/skills/agents, `.json` for hooks
|
||||
- Each skill subdirectory contains a `SKILL.md`
|
||||
- Report what passed and what didn't, the same way the CLI validator would
|
||||
|
||||
Fix any errors, then proceed to **Packaging**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Customizing an Existing Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
Customize a plugin for a specific organization — either by setting up a generic plugin template for the first time, or by tweaking an already-configured plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
### Finding the plugin
|
||||
|
||||
Run `find mnt/.local-plugins mnt/.plugins ~/.claude/plugins/synced -type d -name "*<plugin-name>*" 2>/dev/null` to locate the plugin directory, then read its files to understand its structure before making changes.
|
||||
|
||||
If you cannot find the plugin directory in any of those locations, let the user know: "I couldn't find an installed plugin named '<plugin-name>'. If it's installed on your desktop, open this task from the Cowork desktop app so I can access it."
|
||||
|
||||
### Determining the Customization Mode
|
||||
|
||||
After locating the plugin, check for `~~`-prefixed placeholders: `grep -rn '~~\w' /path/to/plugin --include='*.md' --include='*.json'`
|
||||
|
||||
> **Default rule**: If `~~` placeholders exist, default to **Generic plugin setup** unless the user explicitly asks to customize a specific part of the plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Generic plugin setup** — The plugin contains `~~`-prefixed placeholders. These are customization points in a template that need to be replaced with real values (e.g., `~~Jira` → `Asana`, `~~your-team-channel` → `#engineering`).
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Scoped customization** — No `~~` placeholders exist, and the user asked to customize a specific part of the plugin (e.g., "customize the connectors", "update the standup skill", "change the ticket tool"). Read the plugin files to find the relevant section(s) and focus only on those. Do not scan the entire plugin or present unrelated customization items.
|
||||
|
||||
**3. General customization** — No `~~` placeholders exist, and the user wants to modify the plugin broadly. Read the plugin's files to understand its current configuration, then ask the user what they'd like to change.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important**: Never change the name of the plugin or skill being customized. Do not rename directories, files, or the plugin/skill name fields.
|
||||
|
||||
### Customization Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 0: Gather User Intent (scoped and general customization only)
|
||||
|
||||
Check whether the user provided free-form context alongside their request (e.g., "customize the standup skill — we do async standups in #eng-updates every morning").
|
||||
|
||||
- **If the user provided context**: Record it and use it to pre-fill answers in Phase 3 — skip asking questions the user already answered here.
|
||||
- **If the user did not provide context**: Ask a single open-ended question using AskUserQuestion before proceeding. Tailor it to what they asked to customize — e.g., "What changes do you have in mind for the brief skill?" or "What would you like to change about how this plugin works?" Keep it short and specific.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 1: Gather Context from Knowledge MCPs
|
||||
|
||||
Use company-internal knowledge MCPs to collect information relevant to the customization scope. See `references/search-strategies.md` for detailed query patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
**What to gather** (scope to what's relevant):
|
||||
|
||||
- Tool names and services the organization uses
|
||||
- Organizational processes and workflows
|
||||
- Team conventions (naming, statuses, estimation scales)
|
||||
- Configuration values (workspace IDs, project names, team identifiers)
|
||||
|
||||
**Sources to search:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Chat/Slack MCPs** — tool mentions, integrations, workflow discussions
|
||||
2. **Document MCPs** — onboarding docs, tool guides, setup instructions
|
||||
3. **Email MCPs** — license notifications, admin emails, setup invitations
|
||||
|
||||
Record all findings for use in Phase 3.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 2: Create Todo List
|
||||
|
||||
Build a todo list of changes to make, scoped appropriately:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Scoped customization**: Only items related to the specific section the user asked about.
|
||||
- **Generic plugin setup**: Run `grep -rn '~~\w' /path/to/plugin --include='*.md' --include='*.json'` to find all placeholder customization points. Group them by theme.
|
||||
- **General customization**: Read the plugin files, understand the current config, and based on the user's request, identify what needs to change.
|
||||
|
||||
Use user-friendly descriptions that focus on the plugin's purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Good**: "Learn how standup prep works at Company"
|
||||
- **Bad**: "Replace placeholders in skills/standup-prep/SKILL.md"
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 3: Complete Todo Items
|
||||
|
||||
Work through each item using context from Phase 0 and Phase 1.
|
||||
|
||||
**If the user's free-form input (Phase 0) or knowledge MCPs (Phase 1) provided a clear answer**: Apply directly without confirmation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Otherwise**: Use AskUserQuestion. Don't assume "industry standard" defaults are correct — if neither the user's input nor knowledge MCPs provided a specific answer, ask.
|
||||
|
||||
**Types of changes:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Placeholder replacements** (generic setup): `~~Jira` → `Asana`, `~~your-org-channel` → `#engineering`
|
||||
2. **Content updates**: Modifying instructions, skills, workflows, or references to match the organization
|
||||
3. **URL pattern updates**: `tickets.example.com/your-team/123` → `app.asana.com/0/PROJECT_ID/TASK_ID`
|
||||
4. **Configuration values**: Workspace IDs, project names, team identifiers
|
||||
|
||||
If the user doesn't know or skips, leave the value unchanged (or the `~~`-prefixed placeholder, for generic setup).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 4: Search for Useful MCPs
|
||||
|
||||
After customization items are resolved, connect MCPs for any tools that were identified or changed. See `references/mcp-servers.md` for the full workflow, category-to-keywords mapping, and config file format.
|
||||
|
||||
For each tool identified during customization:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Search the registry: `search_mcp_registry(keywords=[...])` using category keywords from `references/mcp-servers.md`, or search for the specific tool name if already known
|
||||
2. If unconnected: `suggest_connectors(directoryUuids=["chosen-uuid"])` — user completes auth
|
||||
3. Update the plugin's MCP config file (check `plugin.json` for custom location, otherwise `.mcp.json` at root)
|
||||
|
||||
Collect all MCP results and present them together in the summary output — don't present MCPs one at a time during this phase.
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary Output
|
||||
|
||||
After customization, present the user with a summary of what was learned grouped by source. Always include the MCPs sections showing which were connected and which the user should still connect:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## From searching Slack
|
||||
|
||||
- You use Asana for project management
|
||||
- Sprint cycles are 2 weeks
|
||||
|
||||
## From searching documents
|
||||
|
||||
- Story points use T-shirt sizes
|
||||
|
||||
## From your answers
|
||||
|
||||
- Ticket statuses are: Backlog, In Progress, In Review, Done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then present the MCPs that were connected during setup and any that the user should still connect, with instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
If no knowledge MCPs were available in Phase 1, and the user had to answer at least one question manually, include a note at the end:
|
||||
|
||||
> By the way, connecting sources like Slack or Microsoft Teams would let me find answers automatically next time you customize a plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
Then proceed to **Packaging**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Packaging
|
||||
|
||||
After create or customize completes, package the plugin as a `.plugin` file and deliver it with the SendUserFile tool:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Zip the plugin directory:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /path/to/plugin-dir && zip -r /tmp/plugin-name.plugin . -x "setup/*" -x "*.DS_Store"
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Call `SendUserFile` with `files: ["/tmp/plugin-name.plugin"]`, `status: "normal"`, and a short caption summarizing what was built or changed.
|
||||
|
||||
The `.plugin` file will appear in the chat as a rich preview where the user can browse the files and accept the plugin by pressing a button.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Naming**: Use the plugin name from `plugin.json` (for create) or the original plugin directory name (for customize) as the `.plugin` filename. Do not rename the plugin or its files during customization — only replace placeholder values and update content.
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
- **Start small**: Begin with the minimum viable set of components. A plugin with one well-crafted skill is more useful than one with five half-baked components.
|
||||
- **Progressive disclosure for skills**: Core knowledge in SKILL.md, detailed reference material in `references/`, working examples in `examples/`.
|
||||
- **Clear trigger phrases**: Skill descriptions should include specific phrases users would say. Agent descriptions should include `<example>` blocks.
|
||||
- **Skills are for Claude**: Write skill body content as instructions for Claude to follow, not documentation for the user to read.
|
||||
- **Imperative writing style**: Use verb-first instructions in skills ("Parse the config file," not "You should parse the config file").
|
||||
- **Portability**: Always use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` for intra-plugin paths, never hardcoded paths.
|
||||
- **Security**: Use environment variables for credentials, HTTPS for remote servers, least-privilege tool access.

# Storybook source shape
|
||||
|
||||
`.storybook/` found — the component list and story args come from `storybook-static/index.json`. Run `npm run build-storybook` (or pass the converter `--storybook-config <dir>` / `--storybook-static <dir>` if you already have one built).
|
||||
`.storybook/` found — the repo's own Storybook is the preview source. The converter ships `storybook-static/` as `_sb/` and each preview card is an iframe grid of `_sb/iframe.html?id=<storyId>`, so whatever renders in their Storybook renders here verbatim (their builder's CSS, addons, and providers apply as-is).
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Explore, then write config (continued)
|
||||
Requires React 18+.
|
||||
|
||||
3. The converter needs the built `dist/` entry + its `.d.ts` tree. Check whether the entry (from `package.json` `module`/`main`/`exports['.']`) already exists — install may have built it via `prepare`. If missing:
|
||||
- Run `<pm> run build`. No `build` script → try `prepare`/`prepack`. In a monorepo, the build may be at the repo root (`turbo build --filter=<pkg>`, `pnpm -F <pkg> build`, `nx build <pkg>`). **Some build scripts fork a watcher and exit 0 early — after the command returns, `ls` the expected output (dist/, build/esm/, or whatever `package.json` `module`/`main` points at) and confirm it's populated before continuing.** If it's empty, check for a `--watch` flag in the script and use the one-shot variant, or poll the output dir.
|
||||
- Still missing → `AskUserQuestion`("What command builds this package?", options = any `scripts.*` containing `tsc|tsup|rollup|vite build|esbuild|swc`, plus freeform). Record the answer as `buildCmd` in the config.
|
||||
- User says there's no build → the converter will synthesize an entry from `src/` (last resort — `.d.ts` contracts will be weaker; recommend adding a build).
|
||||
4. **Check what's already in the project.** `DesignSync(list_files)` on the target. If it returns files, read `_ds_bundle.js` via `DesignSync(get_file)` and note the component names from its first-line `/* @ds-bundle: {…} */` header — but **always still rebuild** (step 7); the existing bundle is stale the moment source changes. The header's `sourceHashes` diff decides what to *upload* incrementally via `DesignSync`, not what to build.
|
||||
5. **Confirm the plan with the user before building.** `AskUserQuestion` with: the component list you found (or a count + a few names if it's long), which files the tokens/CSS are coming from, and which build command you'll run. The build can take minutes and burn tokens — aligning now avoids re-running because it was pointed at the wrong package or missed half the components.
|
||||
- If the project already has N components (step 4), include that in the question and offer the scope: **(a)** full rebuild + re-upload everything, **(b)** update only the changed components (diff from `sourceHashes`), **(c)** tokens + CSS only (no component rebuild). Default to (b) when the diff is small.
|
||||
6. **Write `design-sync.config.json` and commit it** — re-sync reuses it so output is reproducible. Only `pkg` and `globalName` are required. **If the file already exists, read it first and preserve `previewArgs`, `dtsPropsFor`, `libOverrides`, and `overrides` — only add to those fields, never replace them.** They accumulate fixes from prior verify-loop iterations. **Also Read `.design-sync/NOTES.md` (or whatever `cfg.notes` points at) before anything else** — it holds repo-specific gotchas a prior sync recorded.
|
||||
## 2. Build, then run the converter
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Build the DS package.** The converter bundles `dist/` into `window.<Global>`. Run `<pm> run build` (or `turbo run build --filter=<pkg>`, `pnpm -F <pkg> build`, `nx build <pkg>` in a monorepo). If `package.json` `module`/`exports['.']` points at TS source, find the actual built entry and pass it via `--entry`.
|
||||
2. **Build Storybook directly into `ds-bundle/_sb/`.** `npx storybook build -o ds-bundle/_sb` (or `npm run build-storybook -- -o ds-bundle/_sb`). Check `ds-bundle/_sb/iframe.html` exists and is >10KB — `index.json` alone can exist with a failed build. Building straight into `_sb/` means no copy step; the converter strips `.map`/manager files in-place.
|
||||
3. **Write `design-sync.config.json`** — only `pkg` and `globalName` required. Commit it.
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Value |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `pkg` / `globalName` | package name and the `window.*` global to assign — required |
|
||||
| `shape` | `'storybook'` or `'package'` — pins the source shape (overrides auto-detection). Written on first run. |
|
||||
| `storybookConfigDir` | path to the `.storybook/` dir (relative to this config file) when it's outside the package — e.g. a central `apps/storybook/.storybook` in a monorepo |
|
||||
| `storybookStatic` | path to a pre-built `storybook-static/` dir, if you've already run `build-storybook` |
|
||||
| `titleMap` | `{storyTitle: ComponentName}` — maps Storybook story titles to component export names when they don't match (see `[TITLE_UNMAPPED]`) |
|
||||
| `buildCmd` | the discovered build command; re-sync re-runs it |
|
||||
| `tsconfig` | path to `tsconfig.json` — esbuild reads `compilerOptions.paths` so `@/…` path aliases resolve in synth-entry mode |
|
||||
| `extraEntries` | package names to merge into `window.<globalName>` alongside the DS entry (e.g. the DS's separate icon package). Sibling icon packages under the same scope are auto-detected (`[ICON_PKG]`). |
|
||||
| `componentSrcMap` | **sparse** `{Name: path}` — non-null pins/adds a component's src path; `null` excludes a `.d.ts`-exported internal |
|
||||
| `dtsPropsFor` | `{Name: "prop?: Type; …"}` — hand-written `<Name>Props` body when auto-extraction fails (complex generics, cross-package types) |
|
||||
| `previewArgs` | `{Name: {prop: value, …}}` — props rendered as a `Preview` export in the auto-generated `.design-sync/previews/<Name>.tsx`. Use for simple flat props; for composed JSX children edit the `.tsx` directly. |
|
||||
| `cssEntry` / `tokensPkg` / `tokensGlob` | stylesheet + token files |
|
||||
| `docsDir` | directory (package-relative; may point outside, e.g. `../../apps/docs`) holding per-component `.md`/`.mdx` docs. Auto-detected as `docs/` or `documentation/` under the package. |
|
||||
| `docsMap` | sparse `{Name: path \| null}` — explicit doc path per component (overrides discovery); `null` excludes |
|
||||
| `guidelinesGlob` | string or string[] (package-relative) of design-guideline `.md` files to copy into `guidelines/`. Default `['docs/guides/**/*.md', 'docs/*.md', 'guides/**/*.md']`. |
|
||||
| `extraFonts` | paths (package-relative; may point outside the package, e.g. a sibling typography package) to `@font-face` `.css` files or bare `.woff2`/`.ttf`/`.otf` for brand families the DS expects its host app to provide. CSS entries are parsed and their local font files copied to `fonts/`; bare font files are copied as-is. Use when validate prints `[FONT_MISSING]`. |
|
||||
| `runtimeFontPrefixes` | string[] — family-name prefixes for fonts the host app serves at runtime from a font service (via a `<script>` or JS loader, so there's no `@font-face` to ship). Suppresses `[FONT_MISSING]` for matching families. Use when the brand font is never meant to ship with the bundle. |
|
||||
| `replaces` | `{<raw-element>: [<ComponentName>, …]}` — extends the adherence-config raw-element map |
|
||||
| `libOverrides` | `{"<name>.mjs": "<one-line reason>"}` — declares which `.design-sync/lib/*.mjs` files this repo forks and why (see §Troubleshooting). Cross-checked at build time. |
|
||||
| `notes` | path to a markdown notes file — default `"./.design-sync/NOTES.md"`. |
|
||||
| `pkg` / `globalName` | package name and the `window.*` global — required |
|
||||
| `buildCmd` | the DS build command — Claude re-runs this before the converter on re-sync |
|
||||
| `entry` | explicit dist entry if `package.json` doesn't point at it |
|
||||
| `extraEntries` | package names/subpaths to merge into `window.<Global>` (icon package, `<pkg>/experimental`, etc.) |
|
||||
| `titleMap` | `{title: ExportName}` when story titles don't match export names |
|
||||
| `docsDir` / `docsMap` / `guidelinesGlob` | per-component docs + design guidelines |
|
||||
| `extraFonts` | `@font-face` css or `.woff2` files when `[FONT_MISSING]` fires |
|
||||
| `replaces` | extends the adherence-config raw-element map |
|
||||
| `notes` | path to a notes file — default `./.design-sync/NOTES.md` |
|
||||
|
||||
**`.design-sync/NOTES.md`** is where repo-specific quirks live (workspace build order, flaky stories, odd entry paths, anything a future re-sync should know). Write it as multi-line markdown — one bullet per gotcha. **Append to it whenever you learn something during the verify loop**, and commit it alongside the config.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Run the converter.** For large DSes (200+ components) the ts-morph `.d.ts` parse can take several minutes — `[DTS]` progress lines on stderr show it's working.
|
||||
4. **Run the converter.** Stage `lib/` + `storybook/`, install deps (use the repo's own package manager if `npm i --no-save` fails on `workspace:` protocol), then:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Converter ships under the skill dir — stage the whole set. If `cp` is
|
||||
# permission-denied, write via `cat`: `cat "<src>" > ./lib/<name>.mjs`.
|
||||
cp -r "<skill-base-dir>"/package-build.mjs "<skill-base-dir>"/package-validate.mjs "<skill-base-dir>"/lib .
|
||||
npm i --no-save esbuild ts-morph @types/react # see the pnpm note below if this repo uses pnpm
|
||||
node package-build.mjs --config design-sync.config.json --node-modules ./node_modules \
|
||||
--entry ./dist/index.es.js --out ./ds-bundle
|
||||
node package-validate.mjs ./ds-bundle
|
||||
cp -r "<skill-base-dir>"/lib "<skill-base-dir>"/storybook .
|
||||
npm i --no-save esbuild ts-morph @types/react playwright && npx playwright install chromium
|
||||
node storybook/build.mjs --config design-sync.config.json --node-modules ./node_modules \
|
||||
--pkg-dir . --out ./ds-bundle
|
||||
node storybook/validate.mjs ./ds-bundle
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run `package-build.mjs` and `package-validate.mjs` as separate commands and check each exit code — a chained `build && validate` in the background exits non-zero with no visible log when the build step fails. **In a headless / `-p` session, run both synchronously** (no `run_in_background`) — there is no task-notification re-invocation in headless mode, so a backgrounded run is never resumed. In an interactive session, backgrounding the build is fine.
|
||||
|
||||
In the DS's own repo `node_modules/<pkg>` usually doesn't exist (npm won't self-install), hence `--entry`.
|
||||
|
||||
**esbuild/ts-morph on a pnpm repo:** `npm i --no-save esbuild ts-morph` can fail or stay un-hoisted on a pnpm-managed `node_modules` (the converter's imports then won't resolve). If so, install where pnpm can see it (`pnpm add -D esbuild ts-morph @types/react`) or symlink the converter's resolution targets from `$(pnpm root)/.pnpm/`.
|
||||
|
||||
`@types/react` is required for prop extraction — without it `React.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<…>` and similar utility types resolve to `any` and the emitted `<Name>.d.ts` loses inherited props (converter prints `[DTS_REACT]`).
|
||||
|
||||
If building the monorepo is complex, `npm install <your-pkg>@latest react react-dom` into a scratch dir and pass `--node-modules <scratch>/node_modules` — uses your published dist with flattened deps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source shapes
|
||||
|
||||
Two shapes, same output. **storybook** when `.storybook/` is found (component list + story args from `storybook-static/index.json`); **package** otherwise (bundles `dist/`, enriches each component from `src/` — JSDoc, group, sibling `*.stories.tsx` args — when present). Previews render self-contained from `_ds_bundle.js` either way; a component with no story args gets a scaffold.
|
||||
|
||||
## What the converter emits
|
||||
|
||||
Per component, under `components/<group>/<Name>/`: `<Name>.jsx` (one-line re-export stub), `<Name>.d.ts` (props interface from the shipped types), `<Name>.prompt.md`, and `<Name>.html` (the preview card). You don't write any of these — the converter does.
|
||||
|
||||
`<Name>.prompt.md` is the matched per-component doc when one exists (sibling `<Name>.md`/`.mdx` → `cfg.docsDir` lookup → `<Name>.stories.mdx`; frontmatter `category` sets the component's `<group>`). Otherwise it's synthesized from the `.d.ts` props body, the leading JSDoc, and any examples in `.design-sync/previews/<Name>.tsx` — strictly richer than the previous stub. `[DOCS_UNMAPPED]` lists components that didn't match.
|
||||
|
||||
`<Name>.html` renders the component from `window.<GLOBAL>.<Name>` via the compiled `.design-sync/previews/<Name>.tsx` (each named export = one labeled cell). When that file's build failed it falls back to the older story-grid / `.d.ts`-scaffold paths. **Structural/compound components that need composed children**: edit `.design-sync/previews/<Name>.tsx` (real JSX, with DS imports) and delete its first-line marker — that's the fix, not "expected blank". Hand-edits to a `.html` are overwritten on rebuild.
|
||||
|
||||
**`.design-sync/previews/`**: one `<Name>.tsx` per component, auto-generated each run from the best available source (CSF3 render-fn JSX → story args → `cfg.previewArgs` → `.d.ts` variant grid → namespace stub → default). The first line is `// @ds-preview generated <sha12> — …`; the sha12 is the hash of the body below it. While the marker is present and the hash matches, the file is regenerated; delete the marker to take ownership and the converter leaves it untouched (logs `(preview override: <Name>)`). If you edit the body but leave the marker, the converter warns `(preview edited under marker: <Name>)` and skips — delete line 1 to keep your edit, or delete the file to regenerate. Commit alongside `design-sync.config.json`, `.design-sync/NOTES.md`, and `.design-sync/lib/`.
|
||||
Run build and validate synchronously (foreground) and check each exit code. If chromium install fails, run `npx playwright install-deps chromium` first.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Self-heal loop
|
||||
|
||||
`package-validate.mjs` emits `[TAG]`-prefixed diagnostics on stderr. For each error: match the tag in this table → apply the fix → rebuild → re-validate. Repeat until it exits 0. A few stories that genuinely can't render statically (interaction-driven, data-fetching) go in `cfg.overrides.<Component>.skip` (inline in `design-sync.config.json`, or `cfg.overrides` can be a path to a separate JSON file).
|
||||
|
||||
| Tag | Symptom | Fix |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `[NO_DIST]` | `entry <path> doesn't exist` | The DS package isn't built. Run its build script (`npm run build` / `turbo run build`), or use the published-dist alternative above. |
|
||||
| `[SB_BUILD_FAIL]` | `npx storybook build` exited non-zero | Fix the underlying Storybook build error (logged above), or run `npm run build-storybook` yourself and pass `--storybook-static <dir>`. |
|
||||
| `[WORKSPACE_SIBLING]` | `Could not resolve "<sibling>"` during bundle | A workspace sibling package isn't built. Build it (`turbo build`), or `npm install` the published versions into a scratch dir. |
|
||||
| `[MULTI_STORYBOOK]` | Converter picked the wrong `.storybook/` dir | Pass `--storybook-config <react-pkg>/.storybook`. |
|
||||
| `[TITLE_UNMAPPED]` | N storybook titles don't match a package export | The story title's last segment isn't the component's export name (e.g. `Notifications/Toast` vs export `ToastNotification`). Add `"titleMap": {"Toast": "ToastNotification"}` to config. Note: `titleMap` is keyed by the *derived* name, so it can't disambiguate two titles that derive the same name (e.g. `Components/Button` and `Components/ListItem/Button` both → `Button`); the second silently merges into the first. Rename one story's title in the source if you need both as distinct components. |
|
||||
| `[CONFIG]` | `<path>: <json error>` | `design-sync.config.json` is missing or malformed JSON. Fix the syntax. |
|
||||
| `[ZERO_MATCH]` | no components discovered | `storybook-static/index.json` has no story entries (check the storybook config's `stories` glob). |
|
||||
| `[OUT_UNSAFE]` | `refusing to rm <path>` | `--out` points at `/`, `$HOME`, cwd, or a non-empty dir that isn't a prior bundle. Point `--out` at an empty directory. |
|
||||
| `[UNRESOLVED_IMPORT]` | `<pkg> missing from node_modules` | A dependency the DS imports isn't installed. Run the repo's install (step 2.1) or add the package. |
|
||||
| `[DSCARD_MISSING]` | `<path>: first line isn't a @dsCard comment` | The preview's first line must be `<!-- @dsCard group="…" -->` for the DS pane to register it. Usually a local `lib/emit.mjs` edit dropped the header — restore it, or re-run the converter. |
|
||||
| `[LINK_HREF_MISSING]` | `<path>: <link href="…"> doesn't resolve` | The preview's stylesheet path doesn't resolve relative to the file (previews ship unstyled). Emit-depth mismatch — re-run the converter; if you hand-edited the preview, fix the `../` depth. |
|
||||
| `[CSS_IMPORT_MISSING]` | `styles.css @imports "…" which doesn't exist` | A scraped CSS file referenced by `styles.css` isn't on disk. Check `cfg.cssEntry` / `cfg.tokensGlob` point at files that exist, and re-run. |
|
||||
| `[PROMPT_EMPTY]` | `<path>: first line is empty` | The `.prompt.md` first line is the element-index summary the design agent reads. Re-run the converter; if still empty, the component has no JSDoc — add one to its source. |
|
||||
| `[CSS_ASSETS]` | `N relative url() ref(s) in the fallback CSS won't resolve post-upload` | Informational. The storybook-static CSS fallback references assets under the (un-uploaded) storybook build dir. Fonts are copied separately; background images will 404 but class rules still apply. Set `cfg.cssEntry` to a self-contained stylesheet if images matter. |
|
||||
| `[RENDER]` | `<path>: root empty` | A `<Name>.html` didn't render in headless chromium. Check `.render-check.json` for `firstErr`; usually a provider/context the component reads that isn't in `cfg.provider`. If it's a data-fetching or interaction-only story, add it to `cfg.overrides.<Component>.skip`. |
|
||||
| `[RENDER_ERRORS]` | `<path>: <first pageerror>` | Informational — the preview rendered (root non-empty) but threw `pageerror`(s). Usually a provider/context the component reads that isn't in `cfg.provider` (see §Troubleshooting). Non-blocking unless `[RENDER]` also fires. |
|
||||
| `[RENDER_BLANK]` | `<path>: renders but PNG is <5KB` | The preview renders (no error) but the screenshot is effectively blank — the auto-generated JSX didn't produce visible content. Add `cfg.previewArgs.<Name>` with representative props (see `<Name>.d.ts`); for compound components needing composed children, edit `.design-sync/previews/<Name>.tsx` directly and delete its first-line marker. |
|
||||
| `[RENDER_THIN]` | `mounted text is just "<Name>"` / `variants render identically` | The preview renders but shows only placeholder text, or every variant looks the same. Same fix as `[RENDER_BLANK]`. |
|
||||
| `[CSS_FROM_STORYBOOK]` | `_ds_bundle.css` was an `@import`-only stub | Informational — the converter fell back to storybook-static's compiled CSS. Common for utility-CSS or CSS-in-JS DSes. No action needed unless the fallback CSS is wrong; then set `cfg.cssEntry` explicitly. |
|
||||
| `[CSS_PLACEHOLDER]` | stub CSS and no storybook fallback found | Set `cfg.cssEntry` to the compiled stylesheet (look for the largest `.css` under `dist/` or wherever the package's own docs say to import from). |
|
||||
| `[TOKENS_MISSING]` | `N CSS custom properties referenced but not defined` | Non-blocking. The component CSS uses `var(--token-*)` but no shipped stylesheet defines them — usually the DS keeps tokens in a sibling package. Set `cfg.tokensPkg` to that package (check the build log for `[TOKENS_PKG]` — same-scope `*tokens*`/`*theme*` deps are auto-detected). If the tokens are injected at runtime by a theme provider rather than a stylesheet, set `cfg.provider` instead. |
|
||||
| `[CSS_RUNTIME]` | no static CSS found anywhere; wrote a self-styling `styles.css` | Informational, **non-blocking** (`validate` still exits 0). Expected for CSS-in-JS DSes that inject styles at runtime — the bundle is self-styling. Confirm the render check passes. **Only** if the DS actually ships a stylesheet the scrape missed: set `cfg.cssEntry` to it. If the DS depends on a remote webfont declared in `.storybook/preview-head.html`, the converter now captures that as an `@import url(...)` automatically; anything else global you can author into a small CSS file and point `cfg.cssEntry` at it. |
|
||||
| `[FONT_MISSING]` | families referenced by the shipped CSS with no shipped `@font-face` | Non-blocking. The DS references brand families (often via font tokens) it expects the host app to provide. Set `cfg.extraFonts` to the `@font-face` css / woff2s (often a sibling typography package) and rebuild, or accept substitutes — the DS pane renders those components with system fonts. |
|
||||
| `[DOCS_UNMAPPED]` | `<Name>` — no per-component doc file found | Informational. Set `cfg.docsDir` to the docs tree or `cfg.docsMap.<Name>` to the file. Unmatched components get a synthesized `.prompt.md` from the `.d.ts` + previews instead. |
|
||||
| `[FONT_DANGLING]` | an `@font-face` rule is shipped but its `url()` target file isn't | Non-blocking. The font file wasn't copied into `fonts/` — usually a `! extraFonts:` / `! cssEntry:` skip in the build log. Fix the `cfg.extraFonts` path, or copy the woff2 under the DS package. |
|
||||
| — | Icons render as empty boxes or are missing | The DS's icon package isn't in the bundle. Check the build log for `[ICON_PKG]` (same-scope icon packages are auto-included); if it didn't fire, add the icon package name to `cfg.extraEntries`. |
|
||||
| — | Components render but no CSS | Set `cfg.cssEntry` to the package's stylesheet. |
|
||||
| — | "Missing brand fonts" banner in the DS pane | Same root cause as `[FONT_MISSING]`: the bundle references families it doesn't ship. Wire them via `cfg.extraFonts` if the files are available and licensing allows, or accept substitutes. |
|
||||
| — | `! extraFonts: <path> resolves outside the workspace root — skipped` | `extraFonts` entries are bounded to `dirname(--node-modules)`. In pnpm-workspace / yarn-nohoist repos where `--node-modules` is the per-package `node_modules`, a sibling typography package falls outside that boundary. Workaround: copy the `@font-face` css + woff2s under the DS package and point `extraFonts` there, or re-run with the repo-root `node_modules` where the package manager allows it. |
|
||||
| `[SB_MISSING]` | no `iframe.html` / `index.json` | Run `build-storybook`. Check PIPESTATUS — the build can exit 0 with a broken output. |
|
||||
| `[NO_DIST]` / `[CONFIG] can't find <pkg>/package.json` | package not built or not found | Run the DS build; pass `--pkg-dir` / `--entry`. |
|
||||
| `[ZERO_MATCH]` | no story titles matched an export | Check `titleMap` — titles should resolve to export names. |
|
||||
| `[TITLE_UNMAPPED]` | N titles didn't match | Add `cfg.titleMap` entries. |
|
||||
| `[BUNDLE_EXPORT]` | N components aren't functions on `window.<Global>` | Check `extraEntries` for subpath exports; check the dist entry is the full build. |
|
||||
| `[BUNDLE_MOUNT]` | first component threw on mount | Usually the provider needs a required prop (theme, locale, etc.). Set `cfg.provider` with props: `{"component": "<Provider>", "props": {"theme": {...}}}`. For a chain, nest via `"inner": {...}`. |
|
||||
| `[BUNDLE_STYLE]` | rendered but no styling reached the element | For CSS-in-JS DSes this usually means the provider wrapper isn't passing a theme — set `cfg.provider` with the theme prop the DS expects. Otherwise check `styles.css` has `@import './_ds_bundle.css'` + the storybook-static CSS concat. |
|
||||
| `[NO_CHROMIUM]` | playwright not installed | Degraded — `.prompt.md` has no argTypes table and provider isn't auto-detected. Set `cfg.provider` manually if the DS needs one. |
|
||||
| `[TOKENS_MISSING]` | `styles.css` has no custom properties | Informational — CSS-in-JS DSes may have none. |
|
||||
| `[IFRAME_LOAD]` | first preview iframe didn't render | `_sb/iframe.html` failed to load a story. Open it in a browser; check for missing `_sb/` assets the strip dropped. |
|
||||
| `[SB_SIZE]` | `_sb/` >50MB | Consider excluding dev/playground/kitchen-sink stories from the storybook config's `stories` glob. |
|
||||
| `[PROVIDER_DETECTED]` | `<Chain>` | Informational — written to config + README so the design agent wraps output the same way. |
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Verify previews render
|
||||
## 4. Upload
|
||||
|
||||
`package-validate.mjs`'s headless render check (opens every `<Name>.html`, fails on empty root) needs playwright + chromium. **Check for an existing install first** — `ls ~/.cache/ms-playwright/` or `which chromium chromium-headless-shell google-chrome`. If a chromium build is cached, **install the matching playwright version** (the directory name is `chromium-<build>`; `npm view playwright@latest` rarely matches it — instead check the repo's own `package.json`/lockfile for a pinned `playwright`/`@playwright/test` and `npm i -D playwright@<that-version>`). Mismatched playwright↔chromium gives `browserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist`.
|
||||
`DesignSync(finalize_plan)` with `localDir: "./ds-bundle"`, `writes: ["components/**", "_sb/**", "_vendor/**", "guidelines/**", "fonts/**", "_ds_bundle.js", "_ds_bundle.css", "styles.css", "README.md", "_ds_needs_recompile"]`, `deletes: []`. Dot-prefixed entries stay local.
|
||||
|
||||
**If not found, `AskUserQuestion`** before installing anything:
|
||||
> "For automated preview verification I'd install playwright + chromium (~200MB). Options: (a) OK to install, (b) Skip — I'll open previews in my own browser, (c) Skip verification entirely."
|
||||
|
||||
- **(a) OK** → `npm i -D playwright && npx playwright install chromium`. If install fails (CDN blocked, version mismatch), fall through to (b).
|
||||
- **(b) I'll open** → `npx serve ds-bundle`, list 5–8 preview paths (a mix of simple, compound, overlay) for the user to open. Ask which looked blank or wrong; add a `cfg.previewArgs.<Name>` entry for each from their description and re-run.
|
||||
- **(c) Skip entirely** → ship with the smart-scaffold defaults. Note in your final output that previews weren't visually verified.
|
||||
|
||||
> **When backgrounding a long-running command** (playwright install, the build, a server): capture its PID with `PID=$!` and poll with `kill -0 "$PID"`. Don't `pgrep -f '<command string>'` — the pgrep invocation itself matches its own argument, so the loop never exits.
|
||||
|
||||
With playwright available (existing or installed), **`package-validate.mjs` screenshots every preview** to `ds-bundle/_screenshots/<group>__<Name>.png` and writes per-component status to `ds-bundle/.render-check.json` (`[{name, group, errs, firstErr, pngBytes, blank, rootEmpty, thin, nameOnly, allHollow, collapsed, hasPlaceholder, maxHeight, variantsIdentical, bad, texts}]`). Read `.render-check.json` and:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Sweep.** Read `_screenshots/contact-sheets.json`. If it's missing, the sheet step didn't complete — go to step 2. Otherwise Read every `_screenshots/contact-sheet-N.png` it lists (each tiles ~16 labeled previews); note any tile that looks off — name-only, empty variant labels, visually broken, or a placeholder.
|
||||
2. **Drill.** For every component that is (a) flagged in `.render-check.json` (`bad`, `thin`, `hasPlaceholder`, or `variantsIdentical` true), (b) looked off in the sweep, or (c) **any** component if step 1 found no json: Read its individual `_screenshots/<group>__<Name>.png` — never judge from a sheet thumbnail, never sample. If it already looks right (a Divider is just a line; an Icon is just a glyph), move on — `thin` is a hint, not a verdict. Otherwise Read `<Name>.d.ts` and either write a `cfg.previewArgs.<Name>` entry (simple flat props) or, for compound components needing composed children or inline fixture data, open `.design-sync/previews/<Name>.tsx`, edit the JSX, and delete its first-line `// @ds-preview generated` marker so the converter keeps your edit. `hasPlaceholder: true` means the generated dashed-box placeholder is what's showing — edit the `.tsx` with real content. `blank: true` (PNG <5KB) usually means the auto-generated JSX synthesized nothing useful; `errs > 0` with a context/provider message → see §Troubleshooting. If the build log shows `(preview: <Name> — N renderSource(s) reference undeclared …)`, the story's JSX closes over story-file-local fixtures — inline that data into the `.tsx`.
|
||||
**Choosing `cfg.previewArgs` vs editing the `.tsx`:** `previewArgs` is for flat JSON-serializable props — it surfaces as one extra `Preview` export in the generated `.tsx`. For composed children (`<Tabs><Tab/><Tab/></Tabs>`), fixture data, or anything needing real JSX, edit `.design-sync/previews/<Name>.tsx` directly and delete its marker line; `previewArgs` can't express those. If `firstErr` is a TypeScript error (`Property '…' is missing`, `Type '…' is not assignable`), the fix is in the `.tsx` — the generated JSX has the wrong prop shape.
|
||||
3. Re-run `package-build.mjs` then `package-validate.mjs`. Only the components whose `.tsx` you edited (marker deleted → kept) or whose `previewArgs` you added change; marker-bearing files are regenerated.
|
||||
4. Repeat until the `bad` set is empty or 3 iterations.
|
||||
5. After the final pass, call `DesignSync({method: 'report_validate', counts: {total, bad, thin, variantsIdentical, iterations}})` with the aggregate from `.render-check.json` (`total` = entries; `bad`/`thin`/`variantsIdentical` = count of true; `iterations` = rebuild passes you ran).
|
||||
6. If validate printed `[FONT_MISSING]`: in an interactive session, `AskUserQuestion` whether to wire the families via `cfg.extraFonts` (and rebuild) or accept system-font substitutes. If headless, note it in your final summary and proceed.
|
||||
|
||||
Steps 1–5 are the gate for §5 — don't move on to `finalize_plan`/upload until they're complete.
|
||||
|
||||
**Final output to the user**: "N/M previews render cleanly; X fixed via previewArgs; Y still need attention: [names]; reviewed Y/Y flagged previews + S contact sheets." For Y, Read and attach the PNGs so the user can see what's wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-generated previews use the best available source per component (CSF3 render-fn JSX → story args → `cfg.previewArgs` → `.d.ts` variant grid → namespace stub → default). Compound/overlay components may legitimately need `cfg.previewArgs` or a hand-edited `.tsx` — that's expected, not a converter bug.
|
||||
|
||||
Also confirm:
|
||||
- The `components:` count matches what you confirmed with the user in §2. Shortfall → §Troubleshooting (`componentSrcMap`).
|
||||
- In the browser console on any preview (`npx serve ds-bundle`), `Object.keys(window.<globalName>)` lists every exported component.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Upload
|
||||
|
||||
Only upload after the converter has fully finished and `package-validate.mjs` exits 0 — a mid-run snapshot produces a bundle with dangling references.
|
||||
|
||||
Upload at the **DS project root** — the self-check expects `_ds_bundle.js`, `styles.css`, `components/`, `tokens/`, `fonts/`, and `README.md` at the top level.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an empty `./ds-bundle/_ds_needs_recompile` (e.g. `touch ds-bundle/_ds_needs_recompile`).
|
||||
|
||||
`DesignSync(finalize_plan)` with `localDir: "./ds-bundle"`, `writes: ["components/**", "tokens/**", "fonts/**", "_vendor/**", "_preview/**", "guidelines/**", "_ds_bundle.js", "_ds_bundle.css", "styles.css", "README.md", "_ds_needs_recompile"]` (the converter's output set plus the recompile sentinel), and `deletes: []` (required, even when empty). Dot-prefixed root entries (`.ds-build-meta.json`, `.ds-bundle`, `.pkg-entry.mjs`, `.bundle-entry.mjs`, `.sb-static/`) and `_screenshots/` are build artifacts and stay local. `_vendor/` does upload (the preview cards load React from it). Add `"demo.html"` only when `cfg.demo` is set.
|
||||
|
||||
`finalize_plan` shows the user an interactive approval prompt. **If it's denied, stop** — don't retry with different `localDir`/`writes` values; denial means the session can't approve, not that the arguments were wrong. The bundle is already validated at §4; report the `ds-bundle/` path and let the user run the upload interactively.
|
||||
|
||||
As the **first** write after plan approval, `DesignSync(write_files, [{path: "_ds_needs_recompile", localPath: "_ds_needs_recompile"}])` — this fences the app's manifest/copy machinery while the upload is in progress, so consumers never see a half-uploaded state. Then `DesignSync(write_files)` for every other file matching the plan, preserving the root-relative paths verbatim. The tool caps at 256 files per call, so list the tree, chunk into ≤256-file batches, and issue multiple `write_files` calls under the same `planId`. After all other uploads complete, write the sentinel again — `DesignSync(write_files, [{path: "_ds_needs_recompile", localPath: "_ds_needs_recompile"}])` — to re-arm the recompile in case the project was opened mid-sync. `DesignSync(list_files)` to confirm the count matches. Each `<Name>.html` carries a first-line `<!-- @dsCard group="…" -->` comment that the claude.ai/design app's self-check reads to register the cards.
|
||||
|
||||
When done, tell the user: the project URL (`https://claude.ai/design/p/<projectId>`), the component count, files uploaded, and that `package-validate.mjs` exited clean. **Commit `design-sync.config.json`, `.design-sync/NOTES.md`, and any `.design-sync/lib/` overrides to the repo** so future runs reuse the `previewArgs`/`dtsPropsFor`/`libOverrides` and notes you added during the verify loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Self-check (server-side)
|
||||
|
||||
You're done after the upload. The app's self-check fires on project open (the `_ds_needs_recompile` sentinel you wrote triggers it), so the DS pane populates within a few seconds. The self-check reads each `<Name>.d.ts` as the component's API contract (the `<Name>Props` interface is what the design agent sees), reads the `@dsCard` line from each `<Name>.html` to register preview cards, regenerates the adherence config and `ds_manifest` from the uploaded source, and clears the sentinel.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
Two independent build paths:
|
||||
|
||||
**Importable bundle** (root `_ds_bundle.js`): esbuild takes the package's published `dist/` entry → one IIFE assigning every export to `window.<globalName>`, with a first-line `/* @ds-bundle: {…} */` header the app's self-check reads. Its CSS sidecar (`_ds_bundle.css`) plus the scraped tokens/fonts are wired through a root `styles.css` that `@import`s them. This is what the claude.ai/design agent actually imports and builds with. Storybook-independent; works on every DS.
|
||||
|
||||
The converter does NOT emit the adherence config, the `ds_manifest`, a version file, or a barrel `index.js` — the app's self-check regenerates those from the uploaded source.
|
||||
|
||||
**Scope**: React design systems. Both `_ds_bundle.js` and the previews render via React — a non-React DS has nothing for the claude.ai/design agent to build with.
|
||||
|
||||
**To inspect**: `npx serve ds-bundle` and open any `<Name>.html`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Previews show "context" or "provider" errors** (e.g. "No <X> context", "use<Hook> must be inside <Provider>") → the DS needs a provider wrapper. **Leave `cfg.provider` unset on the first build** — storybook-shape DSes auto-apply `.storybook/preview.*` decorators (bundled to `_vendor/preview-decorators.js`), and setting `cfg.provider` skips that. Check the build log for `preview-decorators.js: bundled` (ran) or `decorator auto-detect skipped` (why it didn't). Only set `cfg.provider` if `[RENDER]`/`[RENDER_ERRORS]` context errors persist after the auto-decorator pass, or it's a package-shape DS. For a chain, nest via `inner`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{"provider": {"component": "ThemeProvider", "props": {"theme": {}}, "inner": {"component": "RouterProvider"}}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
Look for exports named `*Provider` or `Theme`, or check the DS's own docs for "wrap your app in". `component` may be a dotted path into a DS export (e.g. `"<ExportedContext>.Provider"`).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Output missing/wrong components?** `grep ASSUMPTION lib/*.mjs` — each line names the `cfg.*` field that overrides that heuristic. Add the override to `design-sync.config.json` and re-run. `componentSrcMap` covers most cases: `{"Portal": null}` excludes an exported internal; `{"TextInput": "src/forms/text-input/index.tsx"}` pins a src path the fuzzy-find missed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Render check on large DSes:** `package-validate.mjs` screenshots every preview by default. For very large DSes (200+ components) where that's too slow, pass `--render-sample N` to check a deterministic stride of N.
|
||||
|
||||
**Forking a lib script for this repo:** when no config override fits, copy the specific adapter to `.design-sync/lib/<name>.mjs` (e.g. `.design-sync/lib/dts.mjs`) and edit it there. `package-build.mjs` checks `.design-sync/lib/` first and logs `[OVERRIDE]` when a fork is used. Add a header comment `// forked from design-sync lib/<name>.mjs — <one-line reason>`, add the same reason to `cfg.libOverrides` (e.g. `"libOverrides": {"dts.mjs": "VariantProps intersection pattern"}`), and commit both alongside `design-sync.config.json` so re-sync is reproducible. A fork's own `import './common.mjs'` resolves under `.design-sync/lib/`, so also copy (unchanged) any sibling lib files the fork imports from. On re-sync, diff `.design-sync/lib/<name>.mjs` against the bundled `lib/<name>.mjs` and offer to merge upstream changes. `lib/emit.mjs` and `lib/bundle.mjs` define the output contract with the app's self-check — don't fork those; use config overrides or `cfg.dtsPropsFor` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
**Known limitations:**
|
||||
- `.d.ts` props are resolved via the TypeScript checker (ts-morph) — generics, `extends` chains, intersections, and type aliases resolve to their structural shape; React and CSS-in-JS style-system props are filtered. Upstream type bugs propagate as-is.
|
||||
- Previews render from `window.<NS>.<Name>` with story args, not Storybook's `iframe.html` — MSW handlers and addon transforms aren't applied; `.storybook/preview.*` decorators are auto-bundled best-effort.
|
||||
- Story args come from `.args` — CSF3 stories with a `render` function instead have empty args and use the smart scaffold.
|
||||
- A provider the component reads from context (theme, router, i18n) must be in `cfg.provider` or auto-detected from decorators, else the preview renders blank.
|
||||
- Tokens-only DS (no components): emits `styles.css` only with an empty-bodied `_ds_bundle.js`.
|
||||
When done, tell the user: the project URL, component count, `_sb/` size, and that validate exited clean. Commit `design-sync.config.json` and `.design-sync/NOTES.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## What this is not
|
||||
|
||||
Not an LLM rewriting components. The customer's real shipped code is the source of truth; the converter bundles it deterministically and renders with the customer's own Storybook config. You (the agent) do discovery, config, and the self-heal tail — never component authoring.
|
||||
Not an LLM rewriting components. The previews are the repo's own Storybook verbatim; the bundle is their compiled `dist/`.

# Communicating with the user
|
||||
|
||||
Your text output is what the user reads between tool calls; they usually can't see your thinking or the raw tool results. Write it for a teammate who stepped away and is catching up, not for a log file: they don't know the codenames or shorthand you created along the way, and they didn't watch your process unfold. Before your first tool call, say in a sentence what you're about to do; while working, give brief updates when you find something load-bearing or change direction.${""}
|
||||
|
||||
Lead with the outcome. Your first sentence after finishing should answer "what happened" or "what did you find" — the thing the user would ask for if they said "just give me the TLDR." Supporting detail and reasoning come after, for readers who want them.
|
||||
|
||||
Being readable and being concise are different things, and readable matters more. If the user has to reread your summary or ask you to explain, any time saved by brevity is gone. The way to keep output short is to be selective about what you include (drop details that don't change what the reader would do next), not to compress the writing into fragments, abbreviations, arrow chains like `A → B → fails`, or jargon. What you do include, write in complete sentences with the technical terms spelled out. Don't make the reader cross-reference labels or numbering you invented earlier; say what you mean in place.
|
||||
|
||||
Match the response to the question: a simple question gets a direct answer in prose, not headers and sections. Use tables only for short enumerable facts, with explanations in the surrounding prose rather than the cells. Calibrate to the user — a bit tighter for an expert, more explanatory for someone newer.
|
||||
|
||||
Write code that reads like the surrounding code: match its comment density, naming, and idiom.
|
||||
Only write a code comment to state a constraint the code itself can't show — never to say where it came from, what the next line does, or why your change is correct; that's you talking to the reviewer, not the next reader, and it's noise the moment the PR merges.
