Claude Code plugins for building artifacts, engineering prompts, and querying personal knowledge
Voidwire Skills extends Claude Code with production-ready plugins. Learn to build skills and commands with battle-tested patterns. Engineer better prompts with proven principles. Query your personal knowledge bases without leaving the conversation.
Some plugins are general-purpose tools anyone can use. Others integrate with personal infrastructure (noted below).
# Add the marketplace (one time)
/plugin marketplace add nickpending/skills
# Install what you need
/plugin install artifact-foundations@voidwire-skills # Reference patterns
/plugin install artifact-builder@voidwire-skills # Build skills/commands
/plugin install prompt-tools@voidwire-skills # Prompt engineeringThat's it. Skills trigger automatically based on what you're doing.
Reference patterns for building Claude Code skills, commands, and prompts. The knowledge base that powers artifact-builder.
What's inside:
- skill-foundations — Structure rules, four archetypes (CLI Wrapper, Workflow Router, Knowledge Injection, Foundations), real exemplars
- command-foundations — Structure rules, four archetypes (Minimal, Priming, Workflow, Orchestration), real exemplars
- prompt-foundations — Anthropic best practices, conditionals, roles, output formats, execution patterns
Example usage:
"How should I structure a skill that wraps a CLI tool?"
→ Loads skill-foundations, explains CLI Wrapper archetype with exemplar
"What's the difference between a Workflow and Orchestration command?"
→ Loads command-foundations, compares archetypes with examples
Build and improve Claude Code skills and commands with guided workflows.
What's inside:
- skill-builder — Create, improve, and validate skills with archetype selection
- command-builder — Create, improve, and validate commands with archetype selection
Example usage:
"Create a skill that queries my todo app"
→ Asks clarifying questions, selects CLI Wrapper archetype, generates SKILL.md
"Improve my existing skill - it's not triggering correctly"
→ Analyzes SKILL.md, identifies description issues, rewrites with proper USE WHEN pattern
Create and improve prompts using prompt engineering best practices.
Commands:
/create-prompt [purpose]— Build a well-structured prompt from scratch/improve-prompt [text or path]— Analyze and improve an existing prompt
Example usage:
/create-prompt summarize technical papers for non-experts
→ Gathers requirements, applies principles, outputs complete prompt
/improve-prompt "You are helpful. Summarize this."
→ Identifies issues (vague role, no output format), rewrites with improvements
Discover and map your home network via nmap, SSH, and DNS.
What's inside:
- homenet-discovery — Multi-method network discovery with topology diagrams
Example usage:
"What devices are on my network?"
→ Runs nmap scan, consolidates results, generates topology diagram
"Map my homelab"
→ Discovers services, SSH connections, DNS records, outputs inventory
Prerequisites: nmap, python3, SSH keys (optional)
Query personal knowledge bases and content databases.
What's inside:
- lore — Query indexed knowledge fabric (projects, commits, books, movies, people)
- prismis — Query article database (semantic search, priority filtering, reading stats)
Example usage:
"What projects have I worked on involving React?"
→ Queries lore, returns matching projects with context
"Search prismis for articles about local-first architecture"
→ Semantic search across saved articles, returns matches with priority
Prerequisites:
- lore CLI (coming soon)
- prismis-cli for article queries
The problem: Claude Code skills and commands are powerful, but there's no easy way to share them. You build something useful, it lives in ~/.claude/, and nobody else benefits.
The solution: Plugins package skills and commands for distribution. Install from a marketplace, get working tools immediately. Learn patterns from real implementations, not documentation.
The philosophy: Good tools should spread. Reference implementations teach better than specs.
Install artifact-foundations and ask Claude about the patterns:
"I want to build a skill that does X"
→ Claude loads foundations, recommends archetype, guides implementation
"What makes a good skill description?"
→ Claude explains USE WHEN pattern, shows examples from foundations
Then use artifact-builder to generate and validate your work.
Stop reinventing. Start building on patterns that work.
