Routing rule
Stackra’s own agents and skills win for anything that touches this repository’s code or decisions. A plugin output that becomes a decision is recorded as an ADR throughdocs-adr-steward and tracked in Linear. A plugin never decides.
What the plugins are for
engineering
Use forstandup, system-design discussion and tech-debt surveys. Skills: architecture, code-review, debug, deploy-checklist, documentation, incident-response, standup, system-design, tech-debt, testing-strategy. Only standup, system-design, tech-debt, debug and documentation are first choice; the rest are overridden by the table above.
product-management
Product briefs, roadmaps, research synthesis and stakeholder updates. Skills:brainstorm, competitive-brief, metrics-review, product-brainstorming, roadmap-update, sprint-planning, stakeholder-update, synthesize-research, write-spec. Engineering specs still come from spec-kit; write-spec is for product-level briefs that feed one.
marketing
Campaigns, content, SEO and brand voice. Skills:brand-review, campaign-plan, competitive-brief, content-creation, draft-content, email-sequence, performance-report, seo-audit. Arabic copy still needs the Arabic review (i18n-steward plus a human) before it ships.
finance
Finance workflows. Skills:audit-support, close-management, financial-statements, journal-entry, journal-entry-prep, reconciliation, sox-testing, variance-analysis.
Supply-chain risk
The marketplace entry follows the upstream default branch ofanthropics/knowledge-work-plugins, the same as the encore-skills and cloudflare marketplaces. A change upstream reaches every session. The risk is accepted. Claude Code’s marketplace reference documents ref and sha pinning for plugin sources inside a marketplace.json; this is not confirmed for a github entry under extraKnownMarketplaces, so the entry is unpinned. Pin it when the settings reference documents the key.
Command name overlap
Plugin slash commands such as/review and /incident share names with Stackra’s own. The routing table above governs which one to use: for code review and incidents, use the Stackra agents.
Bundled MCP servers
Each plugin bundles its own MCP servers. They need accounts Stackra does not have, so they stay unauthenticated until the owner connects them; nothing in the repository depends on them. Servers seen when the plugins loaded on 2026-10-21:
The list follows upstream and can change with a plugin update. Never paste a token to authorize one; connect through
/mcp or the claude.ai connector settings.
