- MANAGED_EXTERNALS (emil-design-eng, frontend-design, design-motion-principles, impeccable) + MANAGED_MCPS (magic): cmd_set now trims both when the profile does not list them — design leftovers no longer survive a 'set backend' - cmd_set refactored to 4 symmetric trim helpers; nothing outside the MANAGED_* allowlists is ever auto-toggled (darwin-skill manual) - enable_skill external: from-source fallback (ln -sf skills-external/<name>), mirrors toggle-external.sh - stale usage() NOTE + SKILL.md updated to the both-ways reality - hermetic test: 16 checks, fixture repo + fake claude shim (gstack on-demand, from-source, park/restore, magic add/remove, non-managed untouched); shellcheck + full make test green

Architecture principle:
skills/= entry points you invoke via/skill-nameagents/= execution units called by skills (never invoked directly by user)templates/= symlinked to~/.claude/templates/— copy into projects via/onboardor manually- Graphify builds a knowledge graph of any codebase (
/graphify query), producing a navigable wiki ingraphify-out/wiki/. This map helps Claude understand project structure, find relevant code faster, and reason across files. Essential for large-scope tasks (multi-file features, complex bugs, architectural changes). Small tasks should skip it and read files directly.
Agent model routing (BDR-076/077 — model-tiering v2)
Doctrine: the session model (Fable) does main-loop reflection ONLY —
brainstorm, plan, contract, audit judgment, gates, loop decisions — enforced
by a blocking gate (lib/model-gate.md + lib/model-check.sh) at the entry
of the 13 reflection orchestrators. Nothing dispatched inherits silently:
typed agents carry a frontmatter pin, built-ins get an explicit model= at
every call site.
| Agent | Model | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| feater, hotfixer, bugfixer | sonnet (pinned) | executors — code from a closed plan (feat), fix from a closed diagnosis (bugfix), fix-bundle appliers |
| verifier, security-auditor | sonnet (pinned) | fresh gates (≤3×/loop) |
| commit-changer, release-executor, code-cleaner | sonnet (pinned) | dispatched execution — grouping+commit / release spans / approved cleanup (audit + approval gates stay in the dispatcher) |
| onboarder, scaffolder, refactorer, validator-analyzer, plugin-probe | sonnet (pinned) | workers — config generation, scaffold, refactor, deterministic W3C/WCAG runner, mechanical plugin probe |
| status-reporter | haiku (pinned) | mechanical collector |
| analyzer, plan-challenger, plugin-advisor | opus (pinned) | dispatched judgment — pre-plan analysis, 3-lens adversarial plan challenge (/ship-feature STEP 2b), plugin-fit reasoning |
| seo-analyzer, geo-analyzer | opus pin (judge mode); collect/template spans dispatched model="sonnet" |
3-mode audit pipelines — judgment fail-closed on opus, mechanical collect + templating on sonnet |
| doc-syncer | sonnet pin; audit mode dispatched model="opus" |
two-mode: audit (drift judgment, opus) / patch (mechanical apply, sonnet) |
| handover-doc-writer | sonnet pin; synthesize mode dispatched model="opus" |
two-mode: synthesize (opus) / render (sonnet) — client deliverable |
| interviewer, client-handover-writer | unpinned (inline-load = session model) | they ARE the main loop — a frontmatter pin would be inert |
| Explore (built-in) | inherit session (Fable/Opus) | search feeds reflection — kept on the big model, not pinned down |
The pure-execution skills /doc, /status, /commit-change,
/release-candidate dispatch their agent (instead of inline-loading it)
so the pin takes effect and the work leaves the big session model; /hotfix
was split like /feat (reflection inline + gate, hotfixer executor) and so
joins the gated group (13th); /client-handover's nested skill-runner
children are dispatched model:"fable" (they carry reflection).
Fresh install (new machine)
# 1. Clone with submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:youruser/claude-config.git
cd claude-config
# 2. Bootstrap (CLI + auth + symlinks + plugins)
bash install.sh
# 3. Verify setup
bash doctor.sh
# 4. Restart Claude Code — plugins load automatically
All scripts use their own location to find the repo — run them from anywhere.
The plugins step logs to install-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.log.
Optional — Context7 (fast doc lookup for React / Next.js / Prisma…): the plugins
step installs the ctx7 CLI and wires it into Claude Code. The doc-fetch surface is
the find-docs skill alone (BDR-053 — the generated rules/context7.md is purged by
design; if you run ctx7 setup manually, delete that rule or re-run make plugin).
A once-per-session ctx7-reminder hook nudges toward it when the current project
carries fast-moving libs (lib/fast-libs.sh) — a scoped second surface refining
BDR-053, not reversing it (BDR-078).
ctx7 login # optional: OAuth / API key for higher rate limits

| Graphify | Python CLI | Codebase → knowledge graph → navigable wiki. Helps Claude map and search projects efficiently. | pypi: graphifyy |
Versions are pinned in plugins.lock.json. To update: edit the file, then re-run install-plugins.sh.
Graphify installs via pipx/PyPI only, never npm/npx: a different publisher
squats the same graphifyy name on npm (version-shadowing shim re-exporting
a different package, ships its own conflicting graphify bin) — see
plugins.lock.json's graphifyy note.

Three core workflows
From scratch — /init-project
/plugin-check "description" # configure plugins (also runs as STEP 0)
/init-project "description" # interview → scaffold → implement → review
/ship-feature "next feature" # ship feature by feature
Existing project — /onboard
cd my-existing-project/
/onboard # generates CLAUDE.md + settings + .claudeignore
/plugin-check "project type"
/ship-feature "next feature"
New feature — /ship-feature
/ship-feature "feature description"
# → STEP 0: plugin check
# → STEP 1-2: brainstorm + plan (superpowers)
# → STEP 2b: adversarial plan-challenge (3 lenses, report-only)
# → STEP 3: validation gate — user approval required
# → STEP 4-7: implement (TDD) → review → capitalize (memory)
# → STEP 8: sync README (doc-sync)
# → STEP 9: finish (merge / PR)
For small features (1-5 files), use /feat instead — no orchestration overhead.
Settings and permissions
Settings follow a hierarchy (highest priority first):
managed-settings.json → enterprise (cannot be overridden)
CLI flags → session only
.claude/settings.local → personal machine overrides (gitignored)
.claude/settings.json → project rules (committed)
~/.claude/settings.json → global user rules (this repo)
DENY always wins over ALLOW at any level. .claudeignore applies independently.
Templates for per-project settings are in templates/settings/. Copy them with /onboard or manually:
CONF="$(dirname "$(readlink ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md)")"
cp "$CONF/templates/settings/settings.json" .claude/settings.json
cp "$CONF/templates/settings/.claudeignore" .claudeignore
See templates/settings/SETTINGS.md for the full rule syntax reference (rule types, patterns, defaultMode values).
Adding an MCP server that needs a secret
claude mcp add <name> --env KEY=VALUE ... writes VALUE literally into
~/.claude.json (or the project's .mcp.json) — if you pass the real secret
on that command line, it materializes as a second plaintext copy outside
~/.claude/.env, invisible to the repo's .gitignore/allowlist reach (this
bit us once: job7/BDR-026).
Claude Code expands ${VAR} and ${VAR:-default} in mcpServers config —
in env, command, args, url, and headers — for both project (.mcp.json)
and user (~/.claude.json) scope. Use that instead of a literal value:
# WRONG — plaintext key lands in ~/.claude.json:
claude mcp add magic --scope user --env API_KEY="$MAGIC_API_KEY" -- npx -y @21st-dev/magic@latest
# RIGHT — single-quoted so bash doesn't expand it; Claude Code expands it at
# launch, reading the var from its own process environment:
claude mcp add magic --scope user --env 'API_KEY=${MAGIC_API_KEY}' -- npx -y @21st-dev/magic@latest
The var still has to exist in the environment of the process that starts
claude — sourcing ~/.claude/.env into your everyday interactive shell
would defeat the point (every subprocess, every stray env/printenv, would
then see it). This repo's ~/.bashrc instead wraps the claude command
itself: a claude() shell function sources ~/.claude/.env into a subshell
and execs the real binary, so the var reaches claude and its children only
— never the ambient shell. See lib/toggle-external.sh's magic case for
the pattern to copy for a new MCP server.
There is no claude mcp add flag that writes the reference form for you —
the ${VAR} syntax has to be typed by hand (or via a wrapper script), same as
above.
magic MCP (@21st-dev/magic) — known callback-injection risk
21st_magic_component_builder opens an unauthenticated local callback
server (127.0.0.1:9221+, Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, no token/origin
check) for up to 10 minutes per call; any local process or open browser tab
can POST to it and that body is injected verbatim into the tool result
the model consumes (job8 audit, dist/utils/callback-server.js:36). This is
in the third-party package's code, not this repo's config — we don't patch
it. The mitigation lives entirely on our side: settings.json
permissions.ask explicitly lists all 4 mcp__magic__* tools (BDR-059),
so every call — builder included — requires a live confirmation and can
never auto-execute. Don't allowlist
21st_magic_component_builder or 21st_magic_component_refiner (arbitrary
absolute-path read → vendor exfil, same audit) under any circumstance.
