## Plugins and skills

This repository provides plugins for Claude Code and Codex:

- [Glider plugin](plugins/glidermcp/README.md)
- [TGlider plugin](plugins/tglider/README.md)
- [Scout plugin](plugins/scout/README.md)
- [JGlider preview plugin](plugins/jglider/README.md)
- [Keep skill-only plugin](plugins/keep/README.md)
- [GliderTrace plugin](plugins/glider-trace/README.md)

We recommend the skill for each product you use. Server plugins bundle skills with their MCP connection.
The Keep plugin supplies only a skill; connect one shared Keep HTTP server separately.
Glider and GliderTrace plugins require the .NET 10 SDK and NuGet access. They select the latest stable package at each server start.
TGlider and Scout plugins use `npx` with `@latest`; a global installation is optional.
JGlider uses `npx -y --ignore-scripts jglider@next` and requires Node.js 24+ and JDK 21+.
TGlider requires Node.js 24+; Scout requires Node.js 18+ and npm optional dependencies. TGlider does not require Scout.

For a new Glider connection, install its plugin with your chosen client:

**Claude Code**

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add glidermcp/glidermcp
claude plugin install glidermcp@glidermcp
```

**Codex CLI**

```bash
codex plugin marketplace add glidermcp/glidermcp
codex plugin add glidermcp@glidermcp
```

Start a new Codex session after installation. See the [Codex plugin guide](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/plugins) for details.
For another product, replace the plugin name before `@` with `tglider`, `scout`, `glider-trace`, `jglider`, or `keep`.

Restart the MCP server to select an updated .NET package. A running process keeps its current version.
For Glider, we recommend [project preload](install/README.md#templates-and-project-preload) with an explicit solution path.

For an existing manual MCP connection, install [only the skill](install/README.md#install-skills-without-duplicate-servers) to keep your configuration.
Use the [migration instructions](install/README.md#migrate-an-existing-net-connection) to replace an older global .NET launcher.
Choose one connection per product; remove or disable a manual entry before enabling its server plugin.
Keep is the exception: retain your existing HTTP connection because its skill-only plugin registers no server.

For substantial Claude Code tasks, use the bundled [C# specialist](plugins/glidermcp/README.md#claude-code-specialist)
and [runtime verifier](plugins/glider-trace/README.md#claude-code-specialist).
The [TypeScript specialist](plugins/tglider/README.md#claude-code-specialist) and [Java specialist](plugins/jglider/README.md#claude-code-specialist) provide the same focused workflow.
These agents give the work explicit product guidance. Small tasks can use the skills directly.
