My personal Claude Code plugins — open source tools I've built for development workflows, code review, knowledge capture, and prompt optimization.
Each plugin started as something I needed for my own work. They're opinionated, actively maintained, and battle-tested on real projects.

# Restart Claude Code to activate| Plugin | What it does |
|---|---|
| pirategoat-tools | Development tools — 32 agents (27 domain reviewers + pipeline/cross-validation/utility), 21 skills, rich feedback loops |
| dex | Knowledge capture — frictionless capture of learnings, patterns, and decisions from conversations into agent-first docs |
| prompt-engineer | Prompt optimization — evidence-grounded pattern attribution with human-in-the-loop approval gates |
| image-optimizer | Image optimization — lossless compression for PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG with review-before-apply workflow |
| yoloing-safe | YOLO mode safety net — PreToolUse guardrails that block destructive commands, ask about risky ones, and nudge toward safer alternatives |
| caffeinate-claude | Mac sleep prevention — keeps your Mac awake during Claude Code sessions, multi-tab aware |
The main plugin. 32 agents — 27 domain reviewers running in parallel, 2 pipeline agents (reconciliation + decision critic), 2 cross-validators (Gemini + Codex), 1 utility (technical writer). Plus 21 skills covering testing patterns (190KB reference library), software architecture (87KB pattern library), WordPress/WooCommerce development, Figma-to-code workflows, and browser automation.

Frictionless knowledge capture based on compound engineering — each unit of work should make the next one easier, not harder. Fire /dex after any engineering work, confirm with a single selection, done. Knowledge lives as agent-first documents in .claude/docs/ with optional promotion to CLAUDE.md.
Full documentation → | Changelog
Systematic prompt optimization through a 5-phase workflow with human approval gates between phases. Every technique recommendation is evidence-grounded — quoted trigger conditions from a comprehensive research-backed reference library (50+ techniques).
Full documentation → | Changelog
Lossless image compression using ImageOptim and svgo. Shows you the before/after size savings, asks for confirmation, then applies. One command: /optimize-images path/to/images.
Full documentation → | Changelog
YOLO mode safety net. A PreToolUse hook that evaluates every tool call against safety rules — blocks the irreversible stuff (rm -rf, npm publish, credential access), asks about the risky-but-maybe-intentional stuff (force push, brew install, terraform destroy), and lets everything else fly. Configurable credential patterns and zero-access paths. Zero dependencies, zero config needed.

Keeps your Mac awake during Claude Code sessions using macOS caffeinate. Supports multiple tabs, handles crashes gracefully with a 1-hour safety timeout, and cleans up automatically when all sessions end. Zero config needed.

Reusable patterns for building new skills and commands are documented in docs/patterns/.
- Step-by-step prompt injection — Enforce analytical discipline across multi-phase workflows by driving each step from a Python CLI script. Claude calls the script once per step; the script injects that step's instructions and nothing else. Includes script template, skill file structure, testing checklist, and reference implementations from
decision-critic. - Curated-context pipeline — Multi-mode LLM pipelines where a script acts as context curator — reads all state, presents pre-digested briefings, controls flow via condition-driven step routing, and manages split file-based state. Covers pipeline identity anchoring, artifact discipline, and conversational output.
Integration guides for spawning external CLIs as subprocesses, documented in docs/.
- Codex CLI reference — Integrating with the OpenAI Codex CLI: prompting contracts, structured output, headless review invocation, sandbox behavior, and Structured Outputs schema constraints.
- Claude Code CLI reference — Spawning Claude Code CLI as a subprocess: nesting guard status, isolation flags, structured output via
--json-schema, settings hierarchy, and Python integration pattern.
