## What it does

This plugin connects Claude Code to the Mako project intelligence server. Its `.mcp.json` file starts `npx -y agentmako mcp` over stdio, helping the model pick structured context packets and diagnostics instead of running raw grep across files.

The package adds eight skills under the `mako-ai` namespace. These include the entry point `/mako-ai:mako-guide` and dedicated assistants such as `/mako-ai:mako-database` or `/mako-ai:mako-trace`. Tool definitions are fetched dynamically through MCP ToolSearch.

Node.js 20 or newer must be available on `PATH`. Without an existing Mako project initialized or attached in the repository, the tools will not work.

## 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 mako-ai@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- replace brute-force grep searches with structured context packets
- inspect database schemas and verify RLS audit rules
- trace execution paths and code neighborhoods
- configure the agentmako stdio MCP server for Claude Code

## Example prompts
- /mako-ai:mako-guide explain how to navigate this codebase
- /mako-ai:mako-database audit current schema and RLS policies
- /mako-ai:mako-trace track call chains in the auth module

# Mako AI Claude Code Plugin

This plugin packages Mako guidance and MCP wiring for Claude Code.

It does not replace Mako's typed MCP tools. It teaches Claude Code when to use
them, while `.mcp.json` starts the existing `agentmako mcp` stdio server.

## Prerequisites

- Claude Code installed.
- Node.js 20+ on `PATH` (the plugin's `.mcp.json` runs `npx -y agentmako mcp`,
  which fetches and caches the published `agentmako` package automatically).
- A Mako project already attached or initialized for the repo you are using.

## Local Development

From the Mako repo root:

```powershell
claude plugin validate .\mako-ai-claude-plugin
claude --plugin-dir .\mako-ai-claude-plugin
```

Inside Claude Code, the skills appear under the `mako-ai` namespace:

- `/mako-ai:mako-guide`
- `/mako-ai:mako-discovery`
- `/mako-ai:mako-trace`
- `/mako-ai:mako-neighborhoods`
- `/mako-ai:mako-graph`
- `/mako-ai:mako-database`
- `/mako-ai:mako-code-intel`
- `/mako-ai:mako-workflow`

Use `/mcp` in Claude Code to verify the plugin-provided `mako-ai` MCP server is
connected.

## Skill Layout

`mako-guide` is the entry skill and owns cross-cutting feedback policy.
The remaining skills are category-scoped so Claude Code can load only the
guidance relevant to the user's intent.

Live tool schemas come from MCP ToolSearch and `tools/list`. The skills should
not be treated as schema references.

## Feedback Policy

Use `agent_feedback` selectively, not after every call. First use
`recall_tool_runs` to find the prior run and copy its `requestId` into
`agent_feedback.referencedRequestId`.

Use `finding_ack` only for reviewed static findings from tools such as
`ast_find_pattern` and `lint_files`; do not use it to rate tool usefulness.
