## What it does

ALDC installs 12 agents, 9 role entry skills, 11 workflow skills and 16 knowledge skills into Claude, all under the `aldc:` prefix. It also adds 8 AL rules scoped by path and templates for requirement artifacts. Each agent comes with a contract, so the permissions are written down rather than assumed.

Start with `/aldc:al-initialize`. The `scripts/init.js` script copies the rules into `.claude/rules/`, seeds `.claude/plans/memory.md` and appends a managed block to the project's `CLAUDE.md`. You can preview with `--project <dir>`, apply with `--apply`, check drift with `--verify` and roll back with `--rollback`. Files you edited yourself stay collisions until a reviewed replacement runs with `--force`.

Node 20+ is required, and AL compilation needs the AL command-line tool. Publishing, test runs and debugging stay with a human or CI. The manifest declares al-symbols-mcp, context7 and microsoft-docs, yet a declared server that never loads is reported as `unavailable`. The Microsoft AL MCP is configured separately under the alias `al`; ALDC does not start it, and compilation and build operations go only to the Developer and Implementer roles.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install al-development-collection-for-claude-code@claude-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install aldc-al-development-plugin-for-business-central@claude-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install aldc-spec-tdd-development-framework-for-al@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- scaffold an AL project layout inside Claude
- give agents written role contracts instead of loose instructions
- spot rule files that drifted from the canonical version
- roll back a failed project initialization
- query AL symbols through an MCP server

## Example prompts
- Initialize the project with `/aldc:al-initialize`
- Preview initialization for the `src` directory
- Check rule drift with `--verify`

# ALDC — AL Development Collection for Claude Code

<!-- Generated by scripts/sync-plugin-support.js. Do not edit. -->

AI-Native development toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Every file in this directory is generated from the canonical ALDC trees at the
repository root; each one cites its canonical source and sha256.

## Installation

From the plugin marketplace:

```
/plugin marketplace add javiarmesto/ALDC-AL-Development-Collection
/plugin install aldc@aldc-marketplace
```

From a clone, register this directory as a local marketplace:

```
/plugin marketplace add ./claude-plugin
/plugin install aldc@aldc-marketplace
```

Verify with `/plugin`, the actual Agent catalog and `/`. Claude 2.1.278 removed the `/agents` wizard. You should see 12 agents,
9 role entry skills, 11 workflow skills and
16 knowledge skills, all prefixed `aldc:`. Plugin loading,
tool availability and any Business Central operation still need local
verification; installation certifies none of them.

## First-time setup

```
/aldc:al-initialize
```

Initialization runs `scripts/init.js`: preview with `--project <dir>`, apply with
`--apply`, inspect drift with `--verify`, restore with `--rollback`. Customized
files stay collisions unless a reviewed replacement uses `--force`. Node 20+ is
required. It copies the path-scoped AL rules to `.claude/rules/`, seeds
`.claude/plans/memory.md` and adds a managed block to the project's `CLAUDE.md`.

## AL language tooling

Read [Claude AL tooling](docs/claude-al-tooling.md) to reuse the existing AL LSP
for Agents companion and verify access from each agent mode. ALDC declares no
second LSP server and does not change user or project provider configuration.

## MCP servers

**al-symbols-mcp** (read-only AL symbol queries), **context7** (library docs) and
**microsoft-docs** (Microsoft Learn). A declaration in the manifest is not proof
of connection: a server that is not loaded is `unavailable`, never simulated.

The Microsoft AL MCP is optional and separately configured under user/project
alias `al`; see [setup and role grants](docs/claude-al-tooling.md). ALDC grants
its query operations explicitly and compilation/build/restore only to Developer
and Implementer. It does not start that server or grant publish/authentication.
Optional BC29 profiling/snapshot proxies are granted only to Triage after explicit
connection setup; see the same guide for capture scope and runtime acceptance.

## Requirements

Claude Code CLI, Node 20+, and — for AL compilation — the AL command-line tool.
Publishing, running tests and debugging remain human- or CI-gated steps.
