## What it does

\`better-dev` is a meta plugin that folds several working areas into one package. The description lists CSS workflows, Firebase development, code quality, real testing, parallel exploration, documentation verification and token-efficient code generation.

It comes from the `claude-community` marketplace. The plugin targets Claude and will not run elsewhere.

Already have skills for CSS or testing? This bundle may overlap with them, so check trigger names before installing both.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

- set up and verify a Firebase project
- write real tests instead of stubs
- explore an unfamiliar codebase from several angles at once
- cross-check code against documentation

## Example prompts
- Review the code quality on this branch and list the weak spots
- Write real tests for the Firebase auth module
- Map out how this codebase works and describe the main data flows

# 2389 Research Claude Code Plugin Marketplace

28 plugins and MCP servers for Claude Code — parallel exploration, iterative refinement, binary reverse engineering, structured decision-making, and more.

Built by the team at [2389](https://2389.ai). These are the tools we use every day.

**Browse the marketplace:** https://skills.2389.ai

## Quick Start

Install any plugin in **any agent** (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …) with [vercel-labs/skills](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills):

```bash
npx skills add 2389-research/simmer
```

Or natively in Claude Code:

```bash
# Add the marketplace, then install any plugin
/plugin marketplace add 2389-research/claude-plugins
/plugin install simmer@2389-research
```

> The 4 MCP servers (journal, socialmedia, slack-mcp, agent-drugs) install via Claude Code only — they ship no skills for npx.
