Skills, guard hooks, and plugin profiles for the free Programmer-Wander MCP server - the dev shell that gives any AI a complete Rust + Windows toolbox.
Site: aiprogrammer.ai
Programmer-Wander is a single signed binary exposing 105 tools in 11 organized categories (Files, Search, Shell, Git, Sessions, Background, Net, Data, System, Guard, Plan). This repository is the plugin kit that teaches an AI host how to use it well - and, optionally, how to guard it.
- Install the server: download the signed installer or portable zip from
Programmer-Wander releases
and register it (
programmer.exe install --target <host>). - Add this repository through your host's plugin flow (for Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add AIWander/aiprogrammer), then install exactly ONE profile:
| Profile | Contents |
|---|---|
programmer |
Five skills plus inert, reviewable guard-hook templates |
programmer-skills |
The same five skills with no hook code |
| Skill | Job |
|---|---|
programmer-getting-started |
Orientation: category map, first moves, hard-won rules |
programmer-toolmap |
Full per-tool reference, organized by category |
programmer-dev-loop |
The edit-build-test-commit loop, cargo-on-Windows rules |
programmer-background-ops |
Persistent shells, WSL jobs, watchers, webhooks, delta polling |
programmer-safe-ops |
Command pre-flight, archive-first, staged swaps, kill hygiene |
The programmer profile ships hook templates that stay inert until you review
and render them: the policy denies destructive delete patterns, bare
force-pushes, and kills aimed at running MCP servers; warns on cargo via
PowerShell and writes into protected config roots; and audits every decision
locally. Read plugins/programmer/hooks/opt-in/README.md, then run
plugins/programmer/scripts/render-hooks.ps1 and merge only what you want.
Files in plugins/programmer/rendered-hooks/ are examples - re-render for your
own paths.
Programmer is free and stays free. The $5 upgrade is UniMan - a universal manager that delegates work to Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Grok Build CLI, with one live dashboard covering both products (it detects your Programmer install automatically). Details at aiprogrammer.ai.
