ktg-plugin-marketplace (catalog)

Catalog repository for the ktg-plugin-marketplace. After the polyrepo migration this repo hosts only the marketplace manifest and the catalog-level docs; every plugin and the shared design-system live in their own Forgejo repositories under https://git.fromaitochitta.com/open/.

What lives here

• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — the marketplace manifest (plugin entries point at external repos)
• README.md — the landing/catalog page
• CONVENTIONS.md — marketplace-wide conventions inherited by every plugin repo
• GOVERNANCE.md — governance + fork-and-own model
• .mailmap, .gitleaks.toml, .gitleaksignore — shared git-hygiene baselines

Catalog maintenance

• Marketplace conventions: see CONVENTIONS.md.
• Adding/updating a plugin entry: edit .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (external source: "url" with a pinned ref) and re-state the plugin in README.md with its verified version.
• Plugin source, issues, and releases live in each plugin's own repository — not here.
• Releasing a plugin (canonical path — scripts/release-plugin.mjs): since the polyrepo split, a release is a TWO-repo act — tag the plugin repo AND bump the catalog ref. Forgetting the second step strands users on the old version (the exact drift this helper exists to prevent). Run node scripts/release-plugin.mjs <plugin> [--version X.Y.Z] — dry-run by default; it REFUSES unless plugin.json == README badge == the target version AND the vX.Y.Z tag exists, then prints the planned bump. Apply with --write [--commit] [--push]; --create-tag mints+pushes a missing plugin tag first. On --write it bumps the catalog ref AND the catalog README's per-plugin `vX.Y.Z` label together (and git adds both on --commit). Because it only moves both to a verified, tagged, consistent version, check-versions.mjs is green by construction. Never hand-edit a ref or a README label for a release — use this. Pure planner + label reconciler covered by scripts/release-plugin.test.mjs.
• Version-consistency gate: run node scripts/check-versions.mjs before committing any ref change. For each plugin it checks (against the sibling repo) that the catalog ref resolves to a real git tag (ERROR if dangling — breaks install), that plugin.json version == README version-badge (ERROR), that the catalog README's per-plugin `vX.Y.Z` label == the catalog ref (ERROR — the human-facing doc must not misstate the installed version), and that the catalog ref matches plugin.json version (WARN — catalog lags or an unreleased bump). Exit 1 on any ERROR; --strict also fails on WARN. Pure-function core covered by scripts/check-versions.test.mjs (node --test scripts/check-versions.test.mjs).
• Stat-badge mirroring (part of the same gate): each plugin block in the catalog README ends in a stat line (7 agents · 16 scanners · 21 commands · 1398 tests · [Full documentation →]). The gate compares every number on that line against the plugin's own shields badge for the same axis, and ERRORs when they disagree — the catalog must not overstate a plugin. The rule is per-AXIS, not per-plugin: an axis the plugin does not badge is skipped silently, so there is no exception list to maintain. Re-measured 2026-08-04 at the pinned refs, all 12 plugins: 42 catalog axis-claims — 27 badge-covered · 15 badge-less across 7 of the 12 plugins and therefore ungated. That supersedes the 2026-08-02 reading (24 · 15 across 7 of 11); only two entries moved in between and both reconcile exactly — repo-mailbox now badges the two axes it did not (+2 gated, -2 ungated) and repo-standard entered the catalog (+1 gated, +2 ungated). The 15 ungated axes were hand-audited at their pinned tags — 13 on 2026-08-02 (14 of that pass's 15 were exact; the defects were repo-mailbox 6 CLI scripts (true 8) / 251 selftest checks, and voyage 500+ tests against a measured 832), and repo-standard's two on 2026-08-04. Every ungated value currently stands measured at the ref it is pinned to — verified on both sides 2026-08-04, because a ref that has not moved only proves the badge source is unchanged and catalog prose is itself ungated: no ungated plugin's ref has moved since its audit, and diffing extractCatalogStats against the 08-02 README shows the only ungated numbers the catalog has restated since are repo-standard's two (absent then). ⚠️ The 251 selftest checks correction is not fully settled, though the weight is on 370: this file and the catalog's own 08-02 stat line both record the axis as corrected to 370, check-versions.mjs said 374 (most likely a transcription slip), and repo-mailbox's README at v0.19.0 implies 390 (183 + 134 + 73) — its own prose being ungated too. Moot for the gate (they badge the axis now, 398 at v0.20.2, green) and not re-measured. It stands as the proof of the cost: an ungated number rots, and so does the record of having fixed it. N+ in the catalog is read as a lower bound, not an equality, so 500+ was never gate-visible — ungated axes rot in silence and need a re-run of this pass whenever a ref moves. Never hand-edit a stat line to silence the gate — the plugin's badge is the source for every stat number; fix the catalog to match it.
• Counting rules for a badge-less axis (calibrated against the badged plugins, 2026-08-02). When the catalog must count an axis itself, count it the way the badges do, or the numbers stop being comparable across plugin blocks: hooks = hook COMMAND entries in hooks/hooks.json (not events, not matchers — the three diverge, and commands is what matched the badge on all 6 badged plugins), and tests = ℹ tests from node --test, not ℹ pass (config-audit's badge 1398 is its tests count; pass was 1375). Measure in an extraction of the tag (git archive <ref> | tar -x -C <tmp>), never the sibling working tree.
• The stat mirror reads the plugin README AT THE PINNED ref, never the sibling working tree. The catalog documents what installs, and that is the tag. A plugin that commits past its tag without bumping its version — measured 2026-08-02 on both llm-security (scanners 23→22, tests 2013→2034) and config-audit (tests 1398→1441) — would otherwise make the gate demand that the catalog restate unreleased numbers, which is exactly backwards. When the gate flags a stat, check git show <ref>:README.md in the plugin repo before believing the working tree.
