# RForge Plugin Structure - Fixed! ✅

**Date:** 2025-12-21
**Status:** Plugin structure validated and ready

---

## 🔧 What Was Wrong

Initial plugin structure didn't match Claude Code's expected format:

### Issues Found:
1. ❌ `plugin.json` was in root directory (should be in `.claude-plugin/`)
2. ❌ `plugin.json` had wrong schema (included agents, skills inline)
3. ❌ Skills in `skills/` directory (should be `commands/`)
4. ❌ Command files missing frontmatter metadata

---

## ✅ What Was Fixed

### 1. Simplified plugin.json

**Before:**
```json
{
  "name": "rforge-orchestrator",
  "agents": [...],
  "skills": [...],
  "dependencies": {...},
  "settings": {...}
}
```

**After:**
```json
{
  "name": "rforge-orchestrator",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "description": "Auto-delegation orchestrator for RForge MCP tools",
  "author": {
    "name": "Stat-Wise",
    "email": "dt@stat-wise.com"
  }
}
```

### 2. Correct Directory Structure

**Before:**
```
~/.claude/plugins/rforge-orchestrator/
├── plugin.json              ❌ Wrong location
├── agents/
│   └── orchestrator.md
├── skills/                  ❌ Wrong name
│   ├── analyze.md
│   ├── quick.md
│   └── thorough.md
└── README.md
```

**After:**
```
~/.claude/plugins/rforge-orchestrator/
├── .claude-plugin/          ✅ Correct
│   └── plugin.json          ✅ In subdirectory
├── agents/
│   └── orchestrator.md
├── commands/                ✅ Renamed from skills
│   ├── analyze.md           ✅ With frontmatter
│   ├── quick.md             ✅ With frontmatter
│   └── thorough.md          ✅ With frontmatter
└── README.md
```

### 3. Added Frontmatter to Commands

**analyze.md:**
```yaml
---
description: Quick R package analysis with auto-delegation to RForge MCP tools
argument-hint: Optional context (e.g., "Update bootstrap algorithm")
---
```

**quick.md:**
```yaml
---
description: Ultra-fast analysis using only quick tools (< 10 seconds)
---
```

**thorough.md:**
```yaml
---
description: Comprehensive analysis with background R processes (2-5 minutes)
argument-hint: Optional context (e.g., "Prepare for CRAN release")
---
```

---

## ✅ Validation Results

```bash
$ claude plugin validate ~/.claude/plugins/rforge-orchestrator/

Validating plugin manifest: /Users/dt/.claude/plugins/rforge-orchestrator/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

✔ Validation passed
```

---

## 📋 Next Steps to Test

### Step 1: Restart Claude Code
The plugin needs to be loaded on startup:
```bash
# Restart Claude Code CLI session
# (or restart Claude Code Desktop)
```

### Step 2: Check Plugin is Loaded
```bash
# Try the commands - they should appear in autocomplete
/rforge:analyze --help
/rforge:quick
/rforge:thorough
```

### Step 3: Test Commands (Will Fail - MCP Tools Not Implemented Yet)

The commands will load, but will fail when trying to call MCP tools because the tools haven't been implemented yet:

```bash
$ /rforge:analyze "Test"

# Expected output:
# ⚡ Starting analysis...
# ❌ Error: rforge_quick_impact tool not found
# (This is expected - tools need to be implemented in rforge-mcp server)
```

---

## 🎯 What This Means

**Plugin Structure: ✅ VALID**
- Claude Code can now load the plugin
- Commands will register and be available
- Agent will be available for orchestration

**Functionality: ⏸️ PENDING**
- Need to implement 7 MCP tools in rforge-mcp server
- See RFORGE-AUTO-DELEGATION-MCP-PLAN.md for implementation plan
- Days 1-4: Implement MCP tools
- Day 5: Test end-to-end functionality

---

## 📚 Key Learnings

### 1. Plugin.json Schema
Claude Code plugins use a minimal schema:
- name, version, description, author
- NO inline agent/skill definitions
- NO dependencies or settings fields

### 2. Directory Structure
- `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` - Required location
- `agents/` - Agent instruction files
- `commands/` - NOT "skills" - Command/skill files
- Each command file needs YAML frontmatter

### 3. Frontmatter Format
```yaml
---
description: Command description (shows in help)
argument-hint: Optional hint for arguments
---
```

### 4. Reference Examples
Good examples to study:
- `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/claude-plugins-official/plugins/feature-dev/`
- Shows correct structure, frontmatter, organization

---

## 🚀 Status

**Plugin Loading:** ✅ Ready
**MCP Tools:** ⏸️ Not implemented yet
**Next Step:** Implement Day 1 MCP tools (rforge_quick_impact)

**Timeline:**
- Today: Plugin structure validated ✅
- Days 1-4: Implement MCP tools
- Day 5: Test complete system
- Day 8: Create install script

---

**Version:** 0.1.0
**Last Updated:** 2025-12-21
**Validation:** PASSED ✅
