BREAKING: the plugin is `kettle`, not `tea`, and its commands are `/kettle:*`. It also now needs a binary on PATH that it did not need before; the README and every skill say how to get one and what a missing one looks like. The plugin was 3800 lines of Python doing what a compiled binary does better, and the name pointed at a tool that no longer takes part: `tea` is Gitea's CLI, and since the transport moved into the binary nothing here shells out to it for issues at all. A plugin named after it was going to keep suggesting otherwise. Deleted: 19 scripts, the 14-file unittest suite, and the tea-guard hook. The guard blocked any `tea` invocation that would run under a login the model picked instead of the operator; the binary holds its own credentials and reads the pinned login out of the project's own config, so that failure is no longer expressible and there is nothing left to police. agents-sync stays — it is about AGENTS.md symlinks and has nothing to do with any of this. What the plugin keeps is what only a plugin can carry: the rules an operator states and a binary cannot enforce. `init` still refuses to run inside a linked worktree and still may not be model-invoked, because which directory is the project is a statement a person makes. The issue format reference stays here and stays the source of truth. The runner subagent is still for batches and still may not decide what an issue says. The command reference in the issue, sync and project skills is GENERATED from the binary's own command registry, between markers, so a flag that changed cannot ship with a skill that recommends the old one. `kettle gen skills --check` exits non-zero when they drift. The generator owns the region and nothing outside it: the frontmatter description, which is what decides whether a skill loads at all, stays hand-written. `use` survives and is the one place `tea` is still named — for releases, webhooks and actions, which kettle does not cover. Its instruction to write `--login "$GITEA_LOGIN"` and let the hook substitute the pin was true until this commit and is now rewritten: `tea` keeps its own configuration, kettle keeps its own, and configuring one configures nothing in the other.

claude-skills — a Claude Code plugin marketplace
One repository, one marketplace, several plugins, and the kettle binary the
issue plugin is built on. Register the marketplace once and install whichever
pieces you want; each plugin is independent and carries its own manifest and
docs.
Installation
/plugin marketplace add https://git.noodles.cam/claude-skills/marketplace.git
Working from a local clone? Point at the directory instead:
/plugin marketplace add /path/to/marketplace
Then install what you need:
/plugin install kettle@claude-skills
/plugin install tdl@claude-skills
Use /plugin to enable, disable, or update them later.
kettle also needs its binary, which no plugin can install for you. Build it
from this repository (cli/go.mod requires Go 1.26; vendor/ is committed,
so the build needs no network):
cd cli && go build -o ~/.local/bin/kettle ./cmd/kettle
go install git.noodles.cam/claude-skills/marketplace/cli/cmd/kettle@latest
Put the target directory on your PATH and check with kettle help. A skill
that answers command not found: kettle is telling you exactly this.
What ships here
| Plugin | Commands | What it does |
|---|---|---|
kettle |
/kettle:init /kettle:auth /kettle:issue /kettle:sync /kettle:use /kettle:project |
Issues as local markdown, cleanly layered. Issues are units of work offline first and tracker rows second; the kettle binary does the work, and each skill's command reference is generated from the binary's own command registry so it cannot drift |
tdl |
/tdl:audit |
Three Dots Labs Go conventions as an enforceable rule set — audits a Go project against 63 CQRS/DDD/Clean-Architecture rules by severity, or scaffolds services, handlers, entities, repositories and Watermill adapters from templates that already follow them |
Layout
.claude-plugin/
marketplace.json the catalog — one entry per plugin, source is a
path into plugins/
cli/ the kettle binary: cmd/kettle + internal/*, its
own AGENTS.md, its own tests, vendored deps
plugins/
kettle/
.claude-plugin/plugin.json
agents/ hooks/ skills/
README.md AGENTS.md

.claude-plugin/plugin.json
skills/
A plugin's root is its directory under plugins/, so ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
resolves inside it and every path a plugin uses stays relative to itself.
Adding a plugin means adding a directory here plus one entry in
marketplace.json — nothing else in the repo needs to know about it.
cli/ is deliberately not inside a plugin: a binary is installed on a machine,
while a plugin is a directory Claude Code loads, and collapsing the two is what
put an earlier version's issue store inside a versioned plugin cache.
Development
cd cli && go test ./... # the binary's suite
cd cli && go build -o /tmp/kettle ./cmd/kettle
/tmp/kettle gen skills --out plugins/kettle/skills --check # docs vs binary
The second one is the invariant that keeps the plugin honest: everything a
SKILL.md says about a kettle command — its usage line, its flags, its
examples — is generated from the registry the binary is built from, between
<!-- kettle:gen --> markers. --check exits 1 when any of it is out of date;
run gen skills without it to regenerate. Prose outside the markers is never
touched.
