# honeydew

A plugin of skills that wires your coding agent into the Honeydew semantic layer, so you can build entities and metrics and run queries in plain conversation.

## What it does

The `honeydew-ai` plugin sits on top of the Honeydew MCP server. Its skills split into two halves. One half explores and edits the model: `model-exploration` lists entities and fields, while `entity-creation`, `relation-creation`, `attribute-creation` and `metric-creation` add new pieces with join types, cardinality and SQL expressions. The other half works with data: `query` runs structured YAML perspectives or plain questions, and `query-debugging` shows what a past run actually executed and which client sent it.

Around that sit `workspace-branch` for branches and pull requests, `domain-creation` for curated subsets of the model, and `context-item-creation` for instructions and knowledge the analyst should keep. Validation is not optional here. The `validation` skill runs type-specific checks and cross-validation after anything is created, so a malformed entity gets caught in the same session.

You need a Honeydew AI workspace with the Honeydew MCP server configured first. Install the plugin from the marketplace, then reload plugins to activate it. The skill files are plain markdown written without a specific agent in mind, so other MCP-capable agents can read them as instructions.

## 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 honeydew@claude-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install honeydew-ai@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- locate an entity or field inside a large semantic model
- turn a newly added warehouse table into an entity
- define relationships with the right join type and cardinality
- build a reusable metric such as revenue or churn rate
- trace why a KPI moved last month

## Example prompts
- Show me revenue by region for last quarter.
- I added a new orders table — create an entity with revenue and order count metrics.
- Why did churn spike last month? Walk through the drivers step by step.

# Honeydew AI Plugins for Coding Agents

Skills and tools powered by the [Honeydew MCP](https://honeydew.ai/docs/integration/mcp) that help coding agents build semantic models and analyze data through natural conversation.

## Example Use Cases

**Query your data** — Ask "Show me revenue by region for last quarter." Your coding agent discovers the right entities and metrics, runs the query through the semantic layer, and returns the results.

**Build a semantic model** — Ask "I added a new orders table — create an entity with revenue and order count metrics." Your coding agent imports the table, defines attributes and metrics following your naming conventions, and validates the result.

**Investigate anomalies** — Ask "Why did churn spike last month?" Your coding agent runs a multi-step deep analysis, explores correlations across your model, and surfaces the key drivers with supporting data.

## Prerequisites

- A coding agent that supports plugins/skills (e.g., [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli), [Cursor](https://cursor.com), [GitHub Copilot CLI](https://githubnext.com/projects/copilot-cli), [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli), or any agent with MCP support)
- A Honeydew AI workspace with the [Honeydew MCP server](https://honeydew.ai/docs/integration/mcp) configured

## Installation

### Claude Code

Add this marketplace to Claude Code:

```
/plugin marketplace add honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
```

Then install the plugin:

```
/plugin install honeydew-ai@honeydew-ai-claude-plugins
```

Then reload plugins to activate:

```
/reload-plugins
```

### Codex

Add this marketplace to Codex:

```
codex plugin marketplace add honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
```

Then open the plugin directory and install the plugin:

```
codex
/plugins
```

If the marketplace was already added before this repo exposed the Codex wrapper path, refresh it first:

```
codex plugin marketplace upgrade honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
```

### GitHub Copilot CLI

Add this marketplace to Copilot CLI:

```
/plugin marketplace add honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
```

Then install the plugin:

```
/plugin install honeydew-ai@honeydew-ai-github-copilot-plugins
```

### Cursor

1. In your team or organization settings, go to [cursor.com/dashboard/plugins](https://cursor.com/dashboard/plugins) (or click **Plugins** on the left side menu).
2. Scroll down to **Team Marketplaces** and click **Add Marketplace** (or select an existing one).
3. Within the Marketplace, click **Add Plugin**, paste `https://github.com/honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins`, and click **Add 1 plugin**.
4. Optionally, enable **auto-refresh** to get updates automatically.
5. Go back to the plugins page, search for the Honeydew plugin, and click **Add**.

### Gemini CLI

Install the Honeydew extension (skills + Honeydew MCP server):

```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/honeydew-ai/honeydew-ai-coding-agents-plugins
```

### Other Coding Agents

For coding agents that support MCP, configure the [Honeydew MCP server](https://honeydew.ai/docs/integration/mcp) and use the skill files in this repository as prompts or instructions. The skills are written as agent-agnostic markdown documentation that any coding agent can consume.

## Updating an Installed Plugin

Installing pins the version you installed. Most agents keep a cached copy of the marketplace, so an update is two steps: refresh the marketplace, then update the plugin itself.

### Claude Code

In a session, open the plugin manager and choose the update action:

```
/plugin
```

Then apply it:

```
/reload-plugins
```

Or from the shell — refresh the marketplace first, or the update will not see a new version:

```bash
claude plugin marketplace update honeydew-ai-claude-plugins
claude plugin update honeydew-ai
```

Restart Claude Code to apply. `claude plugin list` shows the installed version.
