# Higgsfield Pack Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use subagent-driven-development to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** `make plugin` installs the Higgsfield CLI and its skills, off by default, with two toggles to turn them on.

**Architecture:** A sourced helper (`lib/higgsfield-skills.sh`) clones the upstream skills into gitignored `skills-external/higgsfield-*` and probes the CLI; both installers and the doctor call it. `lib/toggle-external.sh` links the skills on demand through two tools: `higgsfield`, a fixed allowlist of seven media skills, and `higgsfield-websites`, a single skill. Nothing is listed in `link.sh` or in a profile, which is what keeps the pack off across re-runs.

**Tech Stack:** bash, git, npm (run by the user only), shellcheck, hermetic suites under `lib/tests/` run through `make test`.

**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-30-higgsfield-pack-design.md`
**Contract:** `.claude/tasks/contracts/2026-09-30-higgsfield-pack-1412.md` (14 criteria, binding)

## How this plan is packaged

Every edit below was dry-run in a scratch copy, task by task, in order. The
suite went 0/5 → 5/0 (Task 2), 6/8 → 14/0 (Task 3), 14/1 → 15/0 (Task 4),
15/1 → 16/0 (Task 5); shellcheck is clean; each patch applies to the branch;
four deliberate bugs injected in the scratch code turned the suite red. The hardened clone was tried against a missing GitHub repo from a VS Code terminal (askpass exported): it failed at once, with no prompt. The
exact bytes live in `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-30-higgsfield-pack.patches/`. Each task shows its code inline for reading and
names the file to apply. Apply the file, never a retyped copy.

Apply a patch with `git apply <file>`. If `git apply` refuses (the target
moved), stop and report `BLOCKED` with the error. Do not hand-merge.

## Global Constraints

- Executors never run `install-plugins.sh`, `update-all.sh`, `link.sh`, `doctor.sh`, `npm install`, `npx`, `lib/toggle-external.sh` against the real repo, or `higgsfield_sync_skills` against the network (BDR-095). The suite is the only thing that runs.
- Tests run through `make test suite=lib/tests/<file>` only. Never call a suite with `bash` directly, never prefix the command with env variables.
- Nothing about Higgsfield goes in `link.sh`, `lib/profile.sh`, `lib/profiles/*.profile` or `lib/effort-pins.txt` (BDR-093, BDR-079, BDR-105, BDR-107). The suite locks this.
- The skill sync sits before the last `apply_effort_pins "$REPO"` in `install-plugins.sh` and `update-all.sh` (BDR-108, BLK-024).
- `lib/toggle-external.sh` takes no new top-level `source` (LRN-178).
- The CLI token never reaches a terminal or a log: `higgsfield auth token` is only ever called through `_higgsfield_probe` (helper) or `bounded` (toggle), both of which redirect to `/dev/null`.
- CLI presence is proven by `higgsfield_cli_ok` (the binary answers), never by `command -v higgsfield` alone: the npm shim can sit on PATH with no binary behind it.
- Media pack membership is the allowlist `HIGGSFIELD_MEDIA_SKILLS`, never a glob: upstream is unpinned, and an unlisted skill must stay unlinked (default deny).
- House limits for new code: functions of 25 logic lines at most, 5 parameters, 5 locals; logic lines within 80 columns (message strings on `ok | info | warn | err | echo | printf` lines and the existing long `case` patterns follow the surrounding installer style and may run longer); shellcheck clean; comments state intent.
- Commits: explicit paths only (`git add <paths>`), never `git add -A`, never `--no-verify`, no attribution trailer. The hooks push each commit.
- `CLAUDE.global.md` and `settings.json` are hand-curated (BDR-028): only the orchestrator touches them.

## Review Focus

1. A refresh while the pack is enabled: the live `skills/<name>` link must keep resolving. Pinned by `live-reads` in `SYNC_KEEPS_PARKED` (Task 2).
2. Upstream changes its layout (no `higgsfield-*/SKILL.md`, a pack-named dir without SKILL.md, a pack-named symlink): the sync must skip what is not a real skill directory, and return non-zero with the copies kept when nothing qualifies. Pinned by `noskill`, `symlink` and `no-skills` (Task 2).
3. Upstream adds or renames a skill: it is synced, reported, and never linked by `enable higgsfield`. Pinned by `UNLISTED_NOT_LINKED` (Task 3).
4. npm holds back the package's postinstall script, on a first install or on a later update, so the shim exists and the binary does not. `higgsfield_cli_ok` must say no (`shim-only` in `PROBES_SILENT`, Task 2), the toggle must name that cause and not "sign in" (`shim-*` in `SIGNED_OUT_WARNS`, Task 3), and both installers must gate on the probe (`probe-gates`, `probe-after-npm`, Tasks 4 and 5). The installer branches themselves cannot run in a suite: checked by reading.
5. The generalised pack arms must not change what `21st` prints or does. Pinned by `PACK_21ST_UNCHANGED` (Task 3).

## Rollback

Before reverting these commits on a machine where the pack was enabled, run `bash lib/toggle-external.sh disable higgsfield` and `disable higgsfield-websites`. Otherwise the live `skills/higgsfield-*` links outlive the toggle that knows them and the gitignore rule that hides them. Reverting Task 1 also stops ignoring the synced `skills-external/higgsfield-*` sources: they show up as untracked until the user removes those directories by hand.

## Known limits (accepted)

- A skill that upstream removes or renames keeps its last local copy; nothing prunes it.
- Upstream prompts change with no diff to review (tracks `main`).
- Whether `higgsfield auth token` stays local is unverified (closed-source binary), hence the 15 s bound.

### Task 1: Lock entry and gitignore

**Files:**
- Modify: `plugins.lock.json` (new `higgsfield` entry before `graphifyy`)
- Modify: `.gitignore` (link side after `skills/21st-*`, source side and sync stage after `skills-external/21st-*/`)

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: nothing.
- Produces: lock key `higgsfield` with `version` (read by Tasks 4 and 5); ignore rules `skills/higgsfield-*`, `skills-external/higgsfield-*/` and `skills-external/.higgsfield-stage.*/` (LRN-025: both states of a toggleable artifact).

- [ ] **Step 1: Apply the lock patch**

### Task 2: Sync helper, CLI probes and their suite

**Files:**
- Create: `lib/tests/higgsfield.test.sh` (from `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-30-higgsfield-pack.patches/02-higgsfield.test.sh`)
- Create: `lib/higgsfield-skills.sh` (from `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-30-higgsfield-pack.patches/02-higgsfield-skills.sh`)

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: nothing.
- Produces:
  - `HIGGSFIELD_SKILLS_URL` (env value wins over the upstream default).
  - `higgsfield_sync_skills <repo>`: prints the number of skills synced on stdout; returns 0 when at least one skill was synced, 1 otherwise (existing copies untouched). Stages inside `<repo>/skills-external/.higgsfield-stage.*` so each replacement is a rename on one filesystem.
  - `higgsfield_cli_ok`: returns 0 when `higgsfield version` answers; prints nothing.
  - `higgsfield_signed_in`: returns 0 when `higgsfield auth token` succeeds; prints nothing.
  - Internal: `_higgsfield_adopt <clone> <dest>`, `_higgsfield_probe <args...>`. The clone disables every credential prompt (terminal, askpass program, credential helper): a private or deleted upstream fails at once.
  - Suite helpers later tasks reuse: `expect`, `expect_has`, `expect_not`, `verdict`, `yn`, `entries`, `git_q`, `$WORK`, `$ROOT`, `$BIN` (fake `higgsfield` and `21st`), `$CLEAN` (a PATH with the core tools and no CLI); the file ends with a `# ── tally ──` block that must stay last.

- Modify: `lib/tests/higgsfield.test.sh` (toggle cases + `OFF_BY_DEFAULT_WIRING`, inserted above the tally)
- Modify: `lib/toggle-external.sh` (header, `MANAGED_TOOLS`, allowlist, enumerators, dispatcher, probe, hints, pack arms, single-symlink arms, `usage` range)

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: the suite helpers of Task 2.
- Produces, in `lib/toggle-external.sh`:
  - tools `higgsfield` and `higgsfield-websites` for `status | enable | disable | list`.
  - `HIGGSFIELD_MEDIA_SKILLS`: the seven allowlisted media skill names.
  - `higgsfield_skills`: prints the allowlisted names synced under `skills-external/` (a `SKILL.md` present).
  - `higgsfield_unlisted`: prints synced `higgsfield-*` skills that no tool owns.
  - `pack_skills <tool>`: prints the members of `21st` or `higgsfield`.
  - `bounded <cmd...>`: silent CLI probe, 15 s at most when `timeout` exists.
  - `pack_hints <tool>`: warns (never fails) when the pack's CLI is missing, does not answer, or is signed out; for `higgsfield`, also names each unlisted skill. Called after a pack enable and after `enable higgsfield-websites`.
  - Messages: `<tool> enabled (<n> skills: <r> restored, <l> linked)`, `<tool> disabled (<n> skills parked)`, `<tool> already enabled`, `<tool> already disabled`, `<tool> pack not installed in <repo>/skills-external — run: make plugin` (LRN-007: the error names the path checked).

- [ ] **Step 1: Add the failing cases**

Run: `make test suite=lib/tests/higgsfield.test.sh`
Expected: `PASS=6 FAIL=8`. The five Task 2 cases and `OFF_BY_DEFAULT_WIRING` PASS. `STATUS_STATES`, `ENABLE_PACK_EXCLUDES_WEBSITES`, `UNLISTED_NOT_LINKED`, `ENABLE_WEBSITES_ALONE`, `DISABLE_PARKS`, `SIGNED_OUT_WARNS`, `ENABLE_MISSING_ERRS` FAIL (the script answers `unknown` / `Unknown tool`), and `PACK_21ST_UNCHANGED` fails on `hf-apart` alone (`unknown` instead of `missing`).

- Consumes: `higgsfield_sync_skills`, `higgsfield_cli_ok`, `higgsfield_signed_in`, `HIGGSFIELD_SKILLS_URL` (Task 2); lock key `higgsfield` through the existing `pinned_version` (Task 1); the installer's `ok | info | warn | err` helpers and `$REPO`.
- Produces: Step 8.6 (CLI install proven by the probe, skill sync, login offer on a terminal stdin); login offers of Steps 6 and 8.7 reachable under the `tee` redirect (`[ -t 0 ]` alone, BDR-093 TTY-only login kept).

- [ ] **Step 1: Add the failing case**

### Task 5: Refresh on `make update`

**Files:**
- Modify: `lib/tests/higgsfield.test.sh` (`UPDATE_WIRING`, above the tally)
- Modify: `update-all.sh` (new block 7.3b before 7.4)

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `higgsfield_sync_skills`, `higgsfield_cli_ok` (Task 2); lock key `higgsfield` (Task 1); the script's `ok | warn | info` helpers and `$REPO`.
- Produces: block 7.3b. It skips when the CLI is absent. After the npm call it reports one of three states: the binary does not answer (warning and remedy), updated, or update failed with the old binary kept. It replaces only `skills-external/` sources (a parked pack stays parked), and runs before the effort-pins re-apply (BDR-108).

+### Higgsfield CLI
+
+`@higgsfield/cli` (bins `higgsfield` and `higgs`) generates images, video,
+audio and brand media from the terminal. One browser login, no API key.
+Generation spends account credits.
+
+```bash
+npm i -g @higgsfield/cli
+higgsfield auth login       # browser flow
+```
+
+`make plugin` does both (Step 8.6 installs the CLI, then offers the login in
+an interactive terminal) and clones the skills of
+[higgsfield-ai/skills](https://github.com/higgsfield-ai/skills) into
+`skills-external/higgsfield-*`. `make update` refreshes the CLI and the
+skills, and `make doctor` reports the CLI and its session. The copies are
+machine-owned and gitignored. They follow upstream `main`, so a prompt
+change arrives with no diff to review, and a skill that upstream removes
+keeps its last local copy.
+
+The pack is off by default and belongs to no profile. It costs nothing until
+you ask for it, and no `profile set` touches it:
+
+```bash
+bash lib/toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield            # media skills
+bash lib/toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield-websites   # landing-page aid
+bash lib/toggle-external.sh disable higgsfield
+```
+
+`higgsfield` links a fixed list of seven media skills: generate, soul-id,
+product-photoshoot, brandkit, marketplace-cards, video-explainer and
+youtube-thumbnail. The list is `HIGGSFIELD_MEDIA_SKILLS` in
+`lib/toggle-external.sh`. A skill that upstream adds later is synced and
+reported, and stays unlinked until it is added there.
+
+`higgsfield-websites` is kept apart. Here it helps with landing pages inside
+the design stack (assets, references), and `higgsfield website
+create|deploy|publish` stays unused. Claude enables either toggle itself on
+an explicit ask (Skill routing in `CLAUDE.global.md`) and checks the price
+with `higgsfield generate cost` before a paid run.
+
+The skills are cloned, not installed with `npx skills add`: that installer
+links every skill into `~/.claude/skills` on each refresh, which would undo
+the off-by-default state.
+
+The package ships its binary through a postinstall script. If npm holds that
+script back, `higgsfield` exists on PATH and fails at once; reinstall with
+`npm install -g --allow-scripts=@higgsfield/cli @higgsfield/cli`.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
+- **Higgsfield pack, off by default**: `make plugin` installs the `@higgsfield/cli` CLI (Step 8.6) and clones the skills of higgsfield-ai/skills into `skills-external/higgsfield-*` through the new `lib/higgsfield-skills.sh`; `make update` refreshes both; `make doctor` reports the CLI and its session at info level. The pack belongs to no profile: `lib/toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield` links the seven allowlisted media skills, `enable higgsfield-websites` the landing-page aid, and no `profile set` or `make link` re-enables either. `CLAUDE.global.md` routes explicit media-generation asks to it. Hermetic suite `lib/tests/higgsfield.test.sh`.
 - **Effort round (BDR-108)**: every skill carries an entry level next to its model pin. `lib/effort-pins.txt` (map) + `lib/effort-pins.sh` (idempotent re-apply after the last vendoring step of `install-plugins.sh` and `update-all.sh`) replace the hardcoded brainstorming/writing-plans loop and extend the pins to the design stack (high, one level per stack since the last loaded wins), superpowers, agent-skills and the 21st pack; `skills-perso` low, `pdf-translate` medium, `site-motion` high; doctrine: the design stack loads paired with the first Read (a lone Skill call applies nothing). Model pins stay tier aliases: the latest version of a tier is also the cheapest or same-priced, so the quality/price trade-off is tier × effort, never version. `lib/effort-audit.py` prints thinking coverage per scope (sub-agent records carry no thinking count on ~90 % of requests: EVAL-037's "executors stay cheap" was a measurement gap, not a finding).
 - **Effort tiering (BDR-107)**: reasoning effort routed per role and per phase. Session default `high`; `effort:` pins on the 20 repo-authored agents; entry level on 28 tracked user-invoked skills plus the two vendored superpowers skills (re-applied by `install-plugins.sh` after resync); five shifter skills `effort-low` … `effort-max` loaded at phase boundaries per `lib/effort-shift.md`, always sent with the step's first tool call (a lone Skill call is a no-op on 2.1.283), with `max` at the verify-secure caps and ship-feature 4b; `/effort-max` as the turn-scoped relaunch lever; statusline shows the live level; session banner warns when `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` silences the pins; census `lib/tests/effort-routing.test.sh`; transcript audit `lib/effort-audit.py`.

 ### Fixed
+- `install-plugins.sh` never offered the ctx7 and 21st logins: both blocks required stdout to be a terminal, and stdout is the `tee` pipe of the install log. They now test stdin alone, as `update-all.sh` already did.
 - `lib/effort-pins.sh` residual LOW (security re-gate of BDR-108): INT/TERM trap removes the mktemp sibling and exits 130 (never an EXIT trap, the installer owns one); the post-write re-read message no longer claims CRLF and is reached by a stubbed unit test; the rejected map line is printed through `printf '%q'` so a caller's `echo -e` cannot interpret map content; the fixture suite guards its `mktemp -d` and skips the read-only case visibly under root.
 - `update-all.sh` re-fetched the vendored skills at every run but never re-applied the effort pins: brainstorming/writing-plans lost their xhigh until the next `make plugin` (BDR-107 gap, closed by `lib/effort-pins.sh`).

Run:
```bash
grep -q '^### Higgsfield' README.md && grep -q 'toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield' README.md && echo README_OK
awk '/^## \[Unreleased\]/{f=1;next} /^## \[/{f=0} f' CHANGELOG.md | grep -ci higgsfield

Expected: `README_OK`; a count of at least 1; then `0` (no em-dash in the new section).

```bash
git add README.md CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "docs: Higgsfield pack in README and CHANGELOG"

### Task 8 (orchestrator only): Routing lines in CLAUDE.global.md

**Files:**
- Modify: `CLAUDE.global.md` (Skill routing, 6 lines after the SEO line; 306 → 312 lines, guard 320: BDR-062, BDR-098)

Hand edit of a guarded config (BDR-028). Not dispatched.

- [ ] **Step 1: Apply**

Run: `git apply docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-30-higgsfield-pack.patches/08-claude-global.patch`

### Task 9 (orchestrator only): Live state on this machine, full suite, gates

- [ ] **Step 1: First sync (network)**

Run in the repo root, in the Bash tool's own shell (no `bash -c`, which the settings ask about):
```bash
source lib/higgsfield-skills.sh && higgsfield_sync_skills "$PWD"
```
Expected: `8`. Upstream was read at f83af0b on 2026-09-30: no SKILL.md references a file outside its own folder, so dropping upstream's root `setup` and `scripts/` loses nothing.

- [ ] **Step 2: Enable the media pack**

```bash
bash lib/toggle-external.sh enable higgsfield
bash lib/toggle-external.sh status higgsfield-websites
```
Expected: `higgsfield enabled (7 skills: 0 restored, 7 linked)`, no warning (CLI answers, session active, no unlisted skill); then `disabled`.

- [ ] **Step 3: Tree stays clean, routing census stays green**

```bash
git status --short
make test suite=lib/tests/skill-routing-census.test.sh
```
Expected: only `.claude/` paths in the status (the pack is gitignored on both sides); the census green with the seven descriptions now in the live catalog (simulated at 0.50 max before the change).

- [ ] **Step 4: Full suite, doctor, gates**

```bash
make test
bash ~/.claude/lib/gates.sh run .claude/tasks/contracts/2026-09-30-higgsfield-pack-1412.md
```
Expected: make status 0; `GATES — VERDICT: MET`.
