# Engineering Plugin
|
|
|
|
A software engineering plugin primarily designed for [Cowork](https://claude.com/product/cowork), Anthropic's agentic desktop application — though it also works in Claude Code. Helps with standups, code review, architecture decisions, incident response, debugging, and technical documentation. Works with any engineering team — standalone with your input, supercharged when you connect your source control, project tracker, and monitoring tools.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
claude plugins add knowledge-work-plugins/engineering
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
Explicit workflows you invoke with a slash command:
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `/standup` | Generate a standup update from your recent activity — commits, PRs, tickets, and chat |
|
|
| `/review` | Review code changes — security, performance, style, and correctness |
|
|
| `/debug` | Structured debugging session — reproduce, isolate, diagnose, and fix |
|
|
| `/architecture` | Create or evaluate architecture decisions — ADR format with trade-off analysis |
|
|
| `/incident` | Run an incident response workflow — triage, communicate, mitigate, and write postmortem |
|
|
| `/deploy-checklist` | Pre-deployment checklist — verify tests, review changes, check dependencies, confirm rollback plan |
|
|
|
|
All commands work **standalone** (paste code, describe your system, upload files) and get **supercharged** with MCP connectors.
|
|
|
|
## Skills
|
|
|
|
Domain knowledge Claude uses automatically when relevant:
|
|
|
|
| Skill | Description |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `code-review` | Review code for bugs, security issues, performance, and maintainability |
|
|
| `incident-response` | Triage and manage production incidents — status updates, runbooks, postmortems |
|
|
| `system-design` | Design systems and services — architecture diagrams, API design, data modeling |
|
|
| `tech-debt` | Identify, categorize, and prioritize technical debt — build a remediation plan |
|
|
| `testing-strategy` | Design test strategies — unit, integration, e2e coverage, test plan creation |
|
|
| `documentation` | Write and maintain technical documentation — READMEs, API docs, runbooks, onboarding guides |
|
|
|
|
## Example Workflows
|
|
|
|
### Morning Standup
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/standup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your tools are connected, I'll pull your recent commits, PR activity, and ticket updates. Otherwise, tell me what you worked on and I'll format it.
|
|
|
|
### Code Review
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/review https://github.com/org/repo/pull/123
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Share a PR link, paste a diff, or point to files. Get a structured review covering security, performance, correctness, and style.
|
|
|
|
### Debugging an Issue
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/debug Users are getting 500 errors on the checkout page
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Walk through a structured debugging process: reproduce, isolate, diagnose, fix. I'll help you think through it systematically.
|
|
|
|
### Architecture Decision
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/architecture Should we use a message queue or direct API calls between services?
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Get a structured ADR with options analysis, trade-offs, and a recommendation.
|
|
|
|
### Incident Response
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/incident The payments service is returning 503s
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start an incident workflow: triage severity, draft communications, track timeline, and generate a postmortem when resolved.
|
|
|
|
### Pre-Deploy Check
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/deploy-checklist auth-service v2.3.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Get a customized deployment checklist based on your service and what's changing.
|
|
|
|
## Standalone + Supercharged
|
|
|
|
Every command and skill works without any integrations:
|
|
|
|
| What You Can Do | Standalone | Supercharged With |
|
|
|-----------------|------------|-------------------|
|
|
| Standup updates | Describe your work | Source control, Project tracker, Chat |
|
|
| Code review | Paste diff or code | Source control (pull PRs automatically) |
|
|
| Debug sessions | Describe the problem | Monitoring (pull logs and metrics) |
|
|
| Architecture decisions | Describe the system | Knowledge base (find prior ADRs) |
|
|
| Incident response | Describe the incident | Monitoring, Incident management, Chat |
|
|
| Deploy checklists | Describe the deploy | CI/CD, Source control |
|
|
|
|
## MCP Integrations

|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
Create a local settings file at `engineering/.claude/settings.local.json` to personalize:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Your Name",
|
|
"title": "Software Engineer",
|
|
"team": "Your Team",
|
|
"company": "Your Company",
|
|
"techStack": ["Python", "TypeScript", "PostgreSQL", "AWS"],
|
|
"defaultBranch": "main",
|
|
"deployProcess": "canary"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The plugin will ask you for this information interactively if it's not configured.
