Workflow plugin¶

plugins/ai-dlc-workflow/ is one optional Claude Code plugin: the workflow guidance as a skill, ten more skills and hooks that work without the ai-dlc CLI. A team harness can pin it as a single component and run with or without it. It is off by default (defaultEnabled: false). Try it locally:

claude --plugin-dir plugins/ai-dlc-workflow \
  --settings '{"enabledPlugins": {"ai-dlc-workflow@inline": true}}'

To check it loaded, put the same flags before plugin list (after it, Claude Code rejects --plugin-dir as an unknown option):

claude --plugin-dir plugins/ai-dlc-workflow \
  --settings '{"enabledPlugins": {"ai-dlc-workflow@inline": true}}' plugin list

  > ai-dlc-workflow@inline
    Status: √ loaded

Without --settings the same list shows Status: × disabled, and the skills don't load.

scripts/build_workflow_plugin.py generates the directory from agents/skills/ and the shared guidance, and records component digests in plugin.lock.json. The generated check fails when it is stale. The hooks need python3.

The same build emits a Codex form in native/codex/: identical skills, a Codex hooks.json, an AGENTS.fragment.md and a .codex-plugin manifest. scripts/publish_workflow_plugin.py --harness-repo PATH --marketplace NAME --dry-run|--apply copies both into a team harness for a with/without comparison. Pin it in a team harness walks through that publication.

The plugin README covers contents, the Codex spike, the A/B arms, hangar limits and how to turn it off.
