XII. Package Patterns

XII

Package once, deploy everywhere

Domain knowledge is valuable. Package it as plugins.

The Problem

Without Packaging

Rebuild the same workflows in every project
Rediscover patterns already solved
Can't share knowledge across teams
Every new project starts from zero

With Packaging

Install plugins in seconds
Instant productivity in new domains
Community contributes improvements
Knowledge compounds over time

The Solution: Claude Code Plugins

A plugin bundles everything you need for a domain:

Agents

Specialized AI workflows

Commands

Slash commands (/research, /plan)

Skills

Domain knowledge modules

Docs

CLAUDE.md instructions

Plugin Installation

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add boshu2/agentops

# Install plugins
/plugin install constitution@agentops
/plugin install core-workflow@agentops
/plugin install session-management@agentops

That's it. Instant access to agents, commands, and skills.

What's in a Plugin?

The Marketplace

Featured Plugins

constitution - Laws and guardrails

core-workflow - Research -> Plan -> Implement

session-management - Multi-day continuity

vibe-coding - 5 core metrics

devops-operations - Kubernetes, GitOps

software-development - TDD, code review

Plugin Dependencies

constitution (foundation)
  core-workflow (required)
    session-management
    vibe-coding
    devops-operations
    software-development

Start with constitution + core-workflow, add domain plugins as needed.

Why This Works

Build From Zero

Project 1: Build workflows (2 months)

Project 2: Build workflows again (2 months)

Project 3: Build workflows again (2 months)

Total: 6 months, same work 3 times

Install & Go

Project 1: Build + package (2 months)

Project 2: /plugin install (2 minutes)

Project 3: /plugin install (2 minutes)

Total: 2 months + 4 minutes

Create Your Own Plugin

// Plugin manifest (plugin.json)
{
  "name": "my-domain",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Domain-specific workflows",
  "agents": ["agents/*.md"],
  "commands": ["commands/*.md"],
  "skills": ["skills/*.md"]
}

Package what works. Share with your team. Contribute to the community.

Validation

Domain knowledge packaged as plugins
Plugins installable in seconds
Plugins versioned and released
Team shares plugins internally
Community plugins published publicly

Factor	Relationship
I. Automated Tracking	Plugins versioned in git
III. Focused Agents	Plugins contain single-purpose agents
IX. Mine Patterns	Plugins package extracted patterns
