## Save Point
|

Triggered by PreCompact hook or manually:
|
|
5
|
+
1. Find active intent(s) from `~/.plastic/INDEX.md`
|
|
6
|
+
2. Update active intent's `checklist.md` (check off completed items)
|
|
7
|
+
3. Update active intent's `savepoint.md` (in-progress, next steps, blockers, discoveries)
|
|
8
|
+
4. Add observations to `## Insights`
|
|
9
|

5. Update INDEX.md
|

Triggered by UserPromptSubmit hook when user says "continue". Priority order:

|
|
16
|

**1. Active intents first (resume work):**
|
|
17
|

1. Read INDEX.md → find active intent(s)
|
|
18
|
+
2. Read active intent's `intent.md` → what and why
|
|
19
|
+
3. Read active intent's `savepoint.md` → where we left off
|
|
20
|
+
4. Read active intent's `checklist.md` → what's next
|
|
21
|

5. Announce: intent name, current state, next step, blockers
|
|
22
|
+
6. Resume
|
|
23
|

|
|
24
|

**2. No active intents → offer future intents:**
|
|
25
|
+
1. List all future intents from INDEX.md
|
|
26
|
+
2. Present them as options
|
|
27
|
+
3. When user picks one, move to Active in INDEX.md
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
**3. Stale future intents (untouched 3+ days) → triage:**
|
|
30
|
+
- **activate** — start working on it now
|
|
31
|
+
- **abandon** — mark as abandoned
|
|
32

|

The installer tracks every file it writes in a manifest, so uninstall is exact and
|
|
9
|
+
leaves no orphans. Prefer running it through the CLI; this skill wraps the same
|
|
10
|
+
underlying uninstaller and adds reporting + verification.

## Procedure
|
|

13
|
|
|
12
|
-
|
|
13
|
-
- `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` → Claude Code
|
|
14
|
-
- `$CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT` → Cursor
|
|
15
|
-
- Otherwise → unknown agent
|
|
14
|
+
### Step 1: Run the uninstaller
|
|
16
15
|
|
|
17
|
-
|
|
16
|
+
```bash
|
|
17
|
+
npx @zalom/plastic@latest uninstall --claude
|
|
18
|
+
```
|
|
18
19
|
|
|
19
|
-
|
|
20
|
-
- Remove `"plastic"` from `extraKnownMarketplaces` in `~/.claude/settings.json`
|
|
21
|
-
- Remove `"plastic@plastic"` from `enabledPlugins` in `~/.claude/settings.json`
|
|
22
|
-
- Announce: "Plastic deregistered from Claude Code."
|
|
20
|
+
(Use `--codex` / `--hermes` / `--all` to target other agents. `bunx` works too.)
|
|
23
21
|
|
|
24
|
-
|
|
22
|
+
This removes, for the targeted agent:
|
|
23
|
+
- all `~/.claude/skills/plastic-*/` skills
|
|
24
|
+
- all `~/.claude/hooks/plastic-*` hooks (and restores any saved original statusline)
|
|
25
|
+
- the `~/.claude/plastic/` state dir + manifest
|
|
26
|
+
- any **legacy** plugin layout: `plugins/marketplaces/plastic`, `plugins/cache/plastic`,
|
|
27
|
+
the old nested `skills/plastic/`, and the `plastic@plastic` /
|
|
28
|
+
`extraKnownMarketplaces.plastic` / `known_marketplaces.json` registrations
|
|
25
29
|
|
|
26
|
-
### Step
|
|
30
|
+
### Step 2: Report removed vs left
|
|
27
31
|
|
|
28
|
-
|
|
32
|
+
Relay the uninstaller's output to the user — what was **removed** and what was
|
|
33
|
+
**left in place**:
|
|
34
|
+
- **Left:** `~/.plastic/` (intent store, history, projects) and any non-Plastic
|
|
35
|
+
settings.json entries.
|
|
29
36
|
|
|
30
|
-
|
|
31
|
-
Plastic is deregistered from [agent name].
|
|
37
|
+
### Step 3: Verify removal
|
|
32
38
|
|
|
33
|
-
|
|
39
|
+
Tell the user to confirm:
|
|
34
40
|
|
|
35
|
-
|
|
41
|
+
```bash
|
|
42
|
+
ls ~/.claude/skills | grep '^plastic-' # → no output
|
|
43
|
+
ls ~/.claude/hooks | grep '^plastic-' # → no output
|
|
44
|
+
grep -n plastic ~/.claude/settings.json # → no plastic hook/plugin refs
|
|
45
|
+
```
|
|
36
46
|
|
|
37
|
-
|
|
38
|
-
and any projects in ~/.plastic/projects/.
|
|
39
|
-
This is irreversible.
|
|
47
|
+
### Step 4: Offer the data decision
|
|
40
48
|
|
|
41
|
-
a) Keep everything (recommended) — you can re-install Plastic later
|
|
42
|
-
b) Delete everything now — removes ~/.plastic/ entirely
|
|
43
49
|
```
|
|
50
|
+
Plastic is uninstalled from [agent].
|
|
51

|

54
|
+
a) Keep everything (recommended) — re-install anytime with npx
|
|
55
|
+
b) Delete everything now — removes ~/.plastic/ entirely (irreversible)
|
|
56
|
+
```
|
|
46
57
|
|
|
47
|
-
- **Keep:**
|
|
48
|
-
- **Delete:**
|
|
58
|
+
- **Keep:** "Your data is at ~/.plastic/. Re-install anytime with `npx @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude`."
|
|
59
|
+
- **Delete:** run `rm -rf ~/.plastic/` and confirm.

`update` is a single deterministic command. It reads `~/.plastic/VERSION`, derives the
|
|
16
|
+
channel from the version string (`-alpha`/`-beta`/none → stable), queries `npm` dist-tags,
|
|
17
|
+
and advances to the **next version on the current channel**. "Already up to date" is a
|
|
18
|
+
clean no-op. You do not compute the target yourself — the script does.

Switching toward a more stable channel is frictionless; switching toward bleeding edge is

confirmed. To roll **back** to a previously-installed version, use `plastic-versions`.

|
+
|
|
32
|
+
## Prerequisites
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
Plastic must be installed (`~/.plastic/VERSION` present). If not, run
|
|
35
|
+
`npx @zalom/plastic install --claude` first.
|
|
36

40
|
|
|
31
41
|
```bash
|
|
32
|
-
npx @zalom/plastic
|
|
42
|
+
npx @zalom/plastic update # next version on the current channel
|
|
43
|
+
# or: npx @zalom/plastic update --beta / --latest / --alpha
|
|

```

-
- Re-registers hooks and skills into Claude Code's ~/.claude/
|
|
39
|
-
- Preserves all user data (INDEX.md, config.yml, projects.yml, store/)
|
|
46
|
+
Append the agent flag(s) if not just Claude (`--codex`, `--hermes`, `--all`).
|
|
47
|
+
The command prints the transition (`vX → vY`) or "already up to date", and records the
|
|
48
|
+
move in the append-only `~/.plastic/versions.json` ledger.

# Plastic Versions — local version time-machine
|
|
7
|
+
|
|
8
|
+
## When to Use
|
|
9
|
+
- "show plastic versions", "version history", "what versions have I run"
|
|
10
|
+
- "roll back plastic", "downgrade", "go back to the version that worked", "revert plastic"
|
|
11
|
+
- A new version broke something and the user wants their last known-good build
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
For upgrading to a **new** release, use `plastic-update`. This skill only navigates
|
|
14
|
+
versions you have **already installed** — the ones recorded in the ledger.
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16
|
+
## The ledger
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
`~/.plastic/versions.json` is an **append-only JSONL** ledger — one line per version
|
|
19
|
+
change, never modified or deleted:
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
```json
|
|
22
|
+
{"version":"1.0.0-alpha.17","action":"install","at":"..."}
|
|
23
|
+
{"version":"1.0.0-alpha.18","action":"update","at":"..."}
|
|
24
|
+
```
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
`action` ∈ `install | reinstall | update | downgrade` (derived from version direction; the
|
|
27
|
+
channel is derived from the version string, never stored). It is a troubleshooting record.
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
## Procedure
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
### Show history
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
```bash
|
|
34
|
+
npx @zalom/plastic versions
|
|
35
|
+
```
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Prints the table with the currently-installed version marked. If the most recent action was
|
|
38
|
+
a `downgrade`, it asks whether to keep rolling back.
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
### Roll back
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
```bash
|
|
43
|
+
npx @zalom/plastic versions --downgrade # one step back
|
|
44
|
+
npx @zalom/plastic versions --downgrade --version 1.0.0-alpha.15 # to a specific run
|
|
45
|
+
```
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
Rollback targets are restricted to versions in the ledger (only builds you have actually
|
|
48
|
+
run, so you only ever return to something known-good for you). The chosen version is
|
|
49
|
+
re-fetched from npm and re-synced; your intent store, config, and the ledger are untouched.
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
### Step forward (after a rollback)
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
```bash
|
|
54
|
+
npx @zalom/plastic versions --upgrade # one step forward in your history
|
|
55
|
+
```
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
### After any change
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
Run `plastic-doctor` to confirm health, and suggest `/clear` so the session picks up the
|
|
60
|
+
swapped conventions.
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
## Notes
|
|
63
|
+
- The ledger is **never** edited or pruned — it is the audit trail.
|
|
64
|
+
- Downgrades cannot un-migrate a store-format change; if a warning appears, surface it to
|
|
65
|
+
the user rather than forcing the rollback.

# Writing Agent Instructions
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
Based on the [agentskills.io specification](https://agentskills.io).
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
## Progressive Disclosure Architecture
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
All agent instructions follow three loading stages. Design for this — it's the
|
|
20
|
+
architecture, not a nice-to-have.
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
| Stage | What loads | Budget | Design for |
|
|
23
|
+
|-------|-----------|--------|------------|
|
|
24
|
+
| **Discovery** | name + description | ~100 tokens | Trigger accuracy |
|
|
25
|
+
| **Activation** | Full instruction body | <5000 tokens / <500 lines | Core procedures |
|
|
26
|
+
| **Execution** | references/, scripts/, assets/ | As needed | Deep detail |
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
**The description carries the entire burden of triggering.** If agents aren't
|
|
29
|
+
activating your skill, the description is the problem.
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
## Procedure
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
### Step 1: Audit the content
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
Before writing or restructuring, classify every piece of content:
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
| Classification | Where it goes | Example |
|
|
38
|
+
|---------------|---------------|---------|
|
|
39
|
+
| **Trigger context** | description field | "Use when...", keywords |
|
|
40
|
+
| **Core procedure** | SKILL.md body | Step-by-step workflows |
|
|
41
|
+
| **Gotchas** | SKILL.md body (early) | Facts that defy assumptions |
|
|
42
|
+
| **Deep reference** | references/ | API details, full schemas |
|
|
43
|
+
| **Templates** | assets/ or inline | Output format examples |
|
|
44
|
+
| **Executable logic** | scripts/ | Validation, data processing |
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
Ask for each piece: "Would the agent get this wrong without this?"
|
|
47
|
+
If no — cut it. If unsure — test it.
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
### Step 2: Write the description
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
The description must convey WHEN to use, not just WHAT it does.
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
**Rules:**
|
|
54
|
+
- Imperative phrasing: "Use this skill when..." not "This skill does..."
|
|
55
|
+
- Focus on user intent, not implementation
|
|
56
|
+
- Err on the side of being pushy — list contexts explicitly
|
|
57
|
+
- Include cases where user doesn't name the domain directly
|
|
58
|
+
- Under 1024 characters (hard limit)
|
|
59
|
+
- Include specific trigger keywords
|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+
**Template:**
|
|
62
|
+
```yaml
|
|
63
|
+
description: >
|
|
64
|
+
[One sentence: what it does]. Use when [primary trigger context],
|
|
65
|
+
[secondary trigger], or when [indirect trigger where user doesn't
|
|
66
|
+
name the domain]. Also use when [edge case trigger].
|
|
67
|
+
```
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
### Step 3: Write the body
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
**Principles (in priority order):**
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
1. **Procedures over declarations** — Teach HOW to approach a class of problems,
|
|
74
|
+
not WHAT to produce for a specific instance
|
|
75
|
+
2. **Defaults, not menus** — Pick one approach, mention alternatives briefly.
|
|
76
|
+
"Use X. For Y cases, use Z instead." Never present options as equals.
|
|
77
|
+
3. **Calibrate control to fragility** — Prescriptive for fragile/sequential tasks,
|
|
78
|
+
flexible when multiple approaches are valid. Most skills have a mix.
|
|
79
|
+
4. **Reasoning over rigid directives** — "Do X because Y tends to cause Z" beats
|
|
80
|
+
"ALWAYS do X, NEVER do Y"
|
|
81
|
+
5. **Add what the agent lacks, omit what it knows** — No explaining HTTP, PDFs,
|
|
82
|
+
or what a migration is. Jump to what's non-obvious.
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
**Structure:**
|
|
85
|
+
```markdown
|
|
86
|
+
# Title
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
[1-2 sentence purpose statement]
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
## Gotchas
|
|
91
|
+
- [Highest-value content first — facts that defy assumptions]
|
|
92
|
+
- [Each gotcha is a concrete correction, not general advice]
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
## Procedure
|
|
95
|
+
### Step 1: ...
|
|
96
|
+
### Step 2: ...
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
## Patterns
|
|
99
|
+
[Only if the skill covers multiple approaches to similar problems]
|
|
100
|
+
```
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
### Step 4: Extract to references/
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
Anything over 500 lines or 5000 tokens goes to `references/`. But tell the
|
|
105
|
+
agent WHEN to load each file — conditional references, not a generic "see
|
|
106
|
+
references/ for details."
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
**Good:** "Read `references/api-errors.md` if the API returns a non-200 status"
|
|
109
|
+
**Bad:** "See references/ for more information"
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
### Step 5: Validate
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
Run through this checklist:
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
- [ ] Description under 1024 chars
|
|
116
|
+
- [ ] Body under 500 lines / 5000 tokens
|
|
117
|
+
- [ ] Every instruction passes "would the agent get this wrong without it?"
|
|
118
|
+
- [ ] Gotchas are concrete corrections, not general advice
|
|
119
|
+
- [ ] Defaults chosen, not menus presented
|
|
120
|
+
- [ ] Control calibrated: prescriptive where fragile, flexible where tolerant
|
|
121
|
+
- [ ] References have conditional load triggers
|
|
122
|
+
- [ ] No explaining what the agent already knows
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
For structured evaluation beyond this checklist (paired evals, pass rate
|
|
125
|
+
tracking, regression testing), use `plastic-evaluating-skills`.
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
## Gotchas
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
- Hook `additionalContext` truncates at **10,000 characters**. If instructions
|
|
130
|
+
must load via hooks (not skills), they must fit this budget.
|
|
131
|
+
- `~/.claude/rules/*.md` files load fully with no truncation — use for
|
|
132
|
+
always-loaded conventions that don't fit in a skill.
|
|
133
|
+
- CLAUDE.md supports `@path/to/file` imports (max depth 4) — another way
|
|
134
|
+
to load large instruction sets without truncation.
|
|
135
|
+
- Agents only consult skills for tasks beyond what they can handle alone.
|
|
136
|
+
Simple one-step requests may not trigger even with a perfect description.
|
|
137
|
+
- Content from real domain expertise (runbooks, incident reports, code review)
|
|
138
|
+
dramatically outperforms LLM-generated instructions without project context.
|
|
139
|
+
- The most common cause of agents not following instructions: the instruction
|
|
140
|
+
was too vague, didn't apply to the current task, or presented too many
|
|
141
|
+
options without a clear default. Read execution traces to diagnose.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
## For Convention Files (PLASTIC.md, CLAUDE.md)
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
Convention files aren't skills — they load differently. Apply progressive
|
|
146
|
+
disclosure by splitting:
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
| Layer | Mechanism | Budget | Content |
|
|
149
|
+
|-------|-----------|--------|---------|
|
|
150
|
+
| **Always-on** | `~/.claude/rules/` or hook | <10K chars | Core identity, gotchas, critical procedures |
|
|
151
|
+
| **On-demand** | Skills (SKILL.md) | <5K tokens each | Specific workflows activated by task |
|
|
152
|
+
| **Deep reference** | `references/` in skills | Unlimited | Full specs, schemas, examples |
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
**The always-on layer should answer: "What does this agent need to know about
|
|
155
|
+
every single task?"** Everything else activates on demand.
|
|

+
|
|
18
|
+
### Progressive Disclosure Token Budgets
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+
- Discovery: ~100 tokens per skill (name + description only)
|
|
21
|
+
- Activation: <5000 tokens / <500 lines recommended for SKILL.md body
|
|
22
|
+
- Execution: Unbounded — files in scripts/, references/, assets/ load as needed
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
### File References
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
- Use relative paths from skill root
|
|
27
|
+
- Keep one level deep from SKILL.md
|
|
28
|
+
- Agent resolves paths automatically
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
## Description Optimization
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
### Evaluation Methodology
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
1. Create ~20 eval queries (8-10 should-trigger, 8-10 should-not)
|
|
35
|
+
2. Split 60/40 train/validation (proportional mix in each)
|
|
36
|
+
3. Run each query 3 times, compute trigger rate
|
|
37
|
+
4. Pass threshold: 0.5
|
|
38
|
+
5. Near-miss negatives are most valuable (share keywords, need different thing)
|
|
39
|
+
6. Iterate on train set only, validate on held-out set
|
|
40
|
+
7. Select best by validation pass rate, not last iteration
|
|
41
|
+
8. 5 iterations usually sufficient
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
### Description Anti-patterns
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
- "Helps with PDFs" — too vague, no trigger context
|
|
46
|
+
- "Process CSV files" — no when/why, no user-intent focus
|
|
47
|
+
- Implementation details instead of user intent
|
|
48
|
+
- Missing edge case triggers (user doesn't name the domain)

## Gotchas
|
|
58
|
+
- The `users` table uses soft deletes. Queries must include
|
|
59
|
+
`WHERE deleted_at IS NULL`.
|
|
60
|
+
- User ID is `user_id` in DB, `uid` in auth, `accountId` in billing.
|
|
61
|
+
All three refer to the same value.
|
|
62
|
+
- The `/health` endpoint returns 200 even if DB is down. Use `/ready`.
|
|
63
|
+
```

### Calibrating Control
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
Prescriptive when:
|
|
68
|
+
- Operations are fragile
|
|
69
|
+
- Consistency matters
|
|
70
|
+
- Specific sequence must be followed
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
Flexible when:
|
|
73
|
+
- Multiple approaches are valid
|
|
74
|
+
- Task tolerates variation
|
|
75
|
+
- Explaining WHY is more effective than rigid rules
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
### Instruction Patterns
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
1. **Validation loops**: Do work → validate → fix → repeat
|
|
80
|
+
2. **Plan-validate-execute**: Create plan → validate vs source of truth → execute
|
|
81
|
+
3. **Checklists**: Track progress, enforce dependencies, validation gates
|
|
82
|
+
4. **Bundled scripts**: If agent reinvents same logic each run, bundle it
|
|
83
|
+
5. **Templates**: Concrete output structures > prose descriptions
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
## Script Design
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
### Hard Requirements
|
|
88
|
+
- No interactive prompts (hard requirement — agents hang indefinitely)
|
|
89
|
+
- All input via flags, env vars, or stdin
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
### Agent-Friendly Design
|
|
92
|
+
- --help as primary interface documentation
|
|
93
|
+
- Helpful error messages: what wrong + what expected + what to try
|
|
94
|
+
- Structured output (JSON/CSV/TSV), data on stdout, diagnostics on stderr
|
|
95
|
+
- Idempotent operations (agents may retry)
|
|
96
|
+
- Dry-run for destructive operations
|
|
97
|
+
- Meaningful exit codes documented in --help
|
|
98
|
+
- Output size control: default to summaries, support --offset pagination
|
|
99
|
+
- Agent harnesses truncate at 10-30K characters
|
|

|

## Evaluation Framework
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
### Test Case Structure
|
|
104
|
+
```json
|
|
105
|
+
{
|
|
106
|
+
"skill_name": "name",
|
|
107
|
+
"evals": [{
|
|
108
|
+
"id": 1,
|
|
109
|
+
"prompt": "realistic user message",
|
|
110
|
+
"expected_output": "what success looks like",
|
|
111
|
+
"files": ["evals/files/input.csv"],
|
|
112
|
+
"assertions": ["specific, verifiable checks"]
|
|
113
|
+
}]
|
|
114
|
+
}
|
|
115
|
+
```
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
### Running Evals
|
|
118
|
+
- With-skill vs without-skill (or previous version) comparison
|
|
119
|
+
- Clean context per run (subagents or separate sessions)
|
|
120
|
+
- Capture timing: total_tokens, duration_ms
|
|
121
|
+
- Start with 2-3 test cases, expand after first results
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
### Assertion Quality
|
|
124
|
+
Good: Programmatically verifiable, specific, countable
|
|
125
|
+
Weak: Vague ("the output is good")
|
|
126
|
+
Brittle: Exact phrase matching
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
Principle: Require concrete evidence for PASS. No benefit of the doubt.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
### Iteration Loop
|
|
131
|
+
1. Run evals → grade assertions → aggregate benchmarks
|
|
132
|
+
2. Identify failures (assertions, human feedback, execution transcripts)
|
|
133
|
+
3. Feed all three + SKILL.md to LLM for proposed changes
|
|
134
|
+
4. Apply changes → re-run → compare
|
|
135
|
+
5. Stop when consistently empty feedback or no meaningful improvement
