**Claude Code plugin suite** -- four plugins for development, documentation, text utility, and visual workflows.

A regular Claude Code session loses context during compaction. Brewcode automatically saves knowledge, passes state between compaction cycles, and continues work without restarting. Four plugins. 25 skills. 15 agents. 9 lifecycle hooks.

## Plugin Suite

| Plugin | Purpose | Skills | Install |
|--------|---------|--------|---------|
| [brewcode](https://github.com/kochetkov-ma/claude-brewcode/blob/HEAD/brewcode/README.md) | Infinite task execution, quorum reviews, skill/agent creation, semantic search | 9 | `claude plugin install brewcode@claude-brewcode` |
| [brewdoc](https://github.com/kochetkov-ma/claude-brewcode/blob/HEAD/brewdoc/README.md) | Documentation tools: docsync, memory optimization, PDF conversion, publishing | 6 | `claude plugin install brewdoc@claude-brewcode` |

## Installation

### Marketplace (recommended)

Permanent installation through the Claude Code plugin system. Plugins load automatically with every session.

1. **Add marketplace** -- registers the plugin source:

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/kochetkov-ma/claude-brewcode
```

2. **Install plugins** -- copies plugins to local cache:

```bash
claude plugin install brewcode@claude-brewcode
claude plugin install brewdoc@claude-brewcode
claude plugin install brewtools@claude-brewcode
claude plugin install brewui@claude-brewcode
```

3. **Reload plugins** -- run `/reload-plugins` in Claude Code, or `exit` + `claude` to restart.

### Already installed? Update

Use `/brewtools:plugin-update` inside Claude Code for the easiest path -- it runs all update commands and reloads automatically.

Or run manually:

```bash
claude plugin marketplace update claude-brewcode
claude plugin update brewcode@claude-brewcode
claude plugin update brewdoc@claude-brewcode
claude plugin update brewtools@claude-brewcode
claude plugin update brewui@claude-brewcode
```

After updating, run `/reload-plugins` (preferred) or `exit` + `claude` to restart.

### Local directory (for development)

```bash
claude --plugin-dir ./brewcode --plugin-dir ./brewdoc --plugin-dir ./brewtools --plugin-dir ./brewui
```

### Requirements

| Component | Version | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|---------|
| Claude Code CLI | latest | Plugin runtime |
| Node.js | 20+ | Hook runtime |
| macOS | 13+ | Supported OS |

> **macOS only.** Linux and Windows support is planned for future releases.

## Quick Start

### brewcode -- infinite task execution

```bash
/brewcode:setup                              # 1. Analyze project, generate templates (one-time)
/brewcode:spec "Implement JWT authorization"  # 2. Research codebase + create specification
/brewcode:plan                                # 3. Generate phased execution plan
/brewcode:start                               # 4. Execute with infinite context handoff
```

After `/brewcode:setup`, each task follows the cycle: `spec` -> `plan` -> `start`. During execution, the plugin automatically compacts knowledge at ~90% context, writes handoff state, and continues without interruption.

### brewdoc -- documentation tools

```bash
/brewdoc:docsync                      # Track and sync stale project docs
/brewdoc:my-claude                    # Generate Claude Code installation docs
/brewdoc:memory                       # Optimize memory files interactively
/brewdoc:md-to-pdf ./docs/report.md   # Convert markdown to PDF
/brewdoc:publish "Hello world"        # Publish to brewpage.app -- returns public URL
/brewdoc:guide                        # Interactive tutorial for the plugin suite
```

### brewtools -- text utilities

```bash
/brewtools:text-optimize CLAUDE.md         # Token-efficient optimization (52 rules)
/brewtools:text-human 3be67487             # Remove AI artifacts from a commit
/brewtools:secrets-scan                    # Scan for leaked credentials
/brewtools:plugin-update                   # Install or update the plugin suite
```

### brewui -- visual tools

Placeholder plugin, currently empty. No commands yet -- coming soon.

## How It Works

```
  /brewcode:spec --> 5-10 research agents + user Q&A (*) --> SPEC.md
                                                                │
  /brewcode:plan <──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
        │
        └──> phased plan + user Q&A (*) ──────────────────> PLAN.md
                                            (*) skip with -n/--noask
                                                                │
  /brewcode:start <─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
        │
        v
  ┌─ Execute phases with agents ──────────────────────────────────┐
  │   Phase 1 --> Phase 2 --> ... --> Phase N                      │
  │       │  (context ~90%)                                        │
  │   PreCompact: compact KNOWLEDGE + write handoff                │
  │       │                                                        │
  │   [auto-compact] --> same session resumes --> next phase        │
  └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### Knowledge lifecycle

1. Agents accumulate knowledge entries during execution (KNOWLEDGE.jsonl)
2. PreCompact hook compacts and deduplicates before context handoff
3. Pre-task hook injects knowledge into every agent prompt
4. Knowledge accumulates across phases, converted to permanent rules at task end
