The operating core for how AI-powered teams get work done.
BrightWay AI's curated marketplace of plugins, agents, and shared memory. Turns Claude into the daily operating layer for solo operators, consultants, and teams running an agentic operating model. Memory that learns and forgets, business development, daily planning, time tracking, client retention, news curation, deliverable QA, cross-team alignment — each plugin works on its own, and they get sharper when paired together.
Compatible with Cowork (Claude Desktop) and Claude Code.
13 plugins. 7 subagents. Shared identity and voice. Bidirectional learning (mining + decay). Daily/weekly closing rituals. Telemetry. Schedule library.
/plugin marketplace add BrightWayAI/nucleus
Then install plugins individually (see catalog below).
After installing, run /setup-identity and /setup-voice (both in cortex) first. They populate canonical config files at ~/Documents/Claude/identity.md and ~/Documents/Claude/voice.md that every other plugin reads — captures name, company, role, tools, voice descriptors, banned phrases once, in one place. Then run each plugin's individual setup.
Updates flow automatically — push to a plugin's repo on GitHub → marketplace picks it up on Cowork's next startup. No marketplace re-install needed for content changes.
13 plugins, organized by what they do.
| Plugin | What it does | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| claude-cortex | Always-on learning system. Passively observes preferences, captures knowledge, adapts every conversation. Ships /setup-identity and /setup-voice (shared config), /end-day and /end-week (closing rituals), and the existing memory commands. The memory layer for everything else. |
None — auto-recall works out of the box; run /setup-identity and /setup-voice for shared config |
Hosts subagents: memory-librarian (broad-query memory synthesis), transcript-reviewer (weekly call commitment delta).
| Plugin | What it does | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| lead-engine | Intent-based LinkedIn outbound. Catch buying signals, warm prospects, draft DMs in your voice, run a 3-touch cadence, generate pre-call briefs. | /lead-setup |
| bizdev-outreach | Research a contact across your CRM, email, and the web; draft personalized outreach in your voice. Knows when not to send. | /setup |
| weekly-outreach | Weekly relationship management and BD prep. Prioritized outreach queue (10–12 contacts), call prep for the week's external meetings, drafted messages, plus CRM tasks and calendar placeholders. | /setup-outreach |
| referral-engine | Latent revenue engine. Weekly digest of connectors gone quiet, recent positive moments, and approaching triggers. Drafts voice-faithful asks for specific connectors. Honors cooling periods. | /setup-referrals |
Hosts subagent: contact-researcher (in lead-engine — single-contact deep dive across CRM, email, web).
| Plugin | What it does | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| news-curator | Curate and draft a weekly LinkedIn news roundup post. Configurable per topic and audience — works for AI, climate, fintech, anything. | /setup-news |
Hosts subagents: news-curator (scan + rank), post-assembler (drafts in your voice — reads ~/Documents/Claude/voice.md).
| Plugin | What it does | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| project-setup | End-to-end client engagement initialization. Drive folder structure, Claude Project system prompt, phased project plan, memory node — all in one interview. Templates user-customizable. | /setup-projects |
| time-tracking | Calendar-driven time tracking and monthly invoice generation. /track-time classifies billable time per client. /generate-invoices drafts monthly invoices from the log. Closes the calendar-to-money loop. |
/setup-time |
| Plugin | What it does | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| client-status | Weekly client status updates auto-drafted from cortex memory, project-setup engagement data, calendar, and CRM. Drafts go for your review and send. Closes the retention loop. | /setup-status |
| daily-brief | Daily flow plugin. /brief is today's working surface as a Cowork artifact (calendar, inbox, CRM, outreach, yesterday's reflection — annotated by you). /process-brief routes the annotations to Gmail drafts, CRM reschedules, meeting talking points. /plan-tomorrow blocks the next business day on your calendar. Drafts only. As of v0.2.0 absorbs the deprecated plan-tomorrow plugin. |
/setup-brief, /setup-plan |
| Plugin | What it does | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| writing-style | Adaptive writing-style plugin. Learns your voice from real edits over time. /style drafts in your voice (email, social, doc, dm). /style-learn analyzes draft-vs-final diffs with two-stage triage. /style-review audits style files for contradictions and stale rules. |
/setup-style |
| Plugin | What it does | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| core-ops | Shared business-ops toolkit. Hosts pipeline-analyst and pipeline-forecast subagents. Slash commands: /review-deliverable (QA on client artifacts), /diagnose (ecosystem health), /log-agent-run + /agent-metrics (telemetry), /register-schedules (bulk-register standing schedules from a versioned schedule library). |
/setup-core |
| weekly-alignment | Weekly cross-team alignment scanner for Slack. Surfaces overlapping initiatives, conflicting priorities, and decisions that affect other teams. Delivers a Monday morning brief. | /setup (via skills) |
Hosts subagents: pipeline-analyst (point-in-time CRM ranking), pipeline-forecast (forward-looking revenue projection).
Each plugin is independently useful, but several get sharper when paired. Three layers of connective tissue:
Two canonical files live at ~/Documents/Claude/. Populated once, read by every plugin:
| File | Created by | Read by |
|---|---|---|
identity.md |
cortex /setup-identity |
All 12 plugins (skip identity questions in their setups) |
voice.md |
cortex /setup-voice |
All drafting plugins (bizdev-outreach, weekly-outreach, lead-engine, news-curator's post-assembler, client-status, referral-engine) |
Without these, every plugin asks the same questions over and over. With these, identity and voice live in one place and you update them in one place.
| Subagent | Lives in | Used by |
|---|---|---|
memory-librarian |
claude-cortex | /search (broad cross-node queries) |
transcript-reviewer |
claude-cortex | /end-week, scheduled weekly run |
contact-researcher |
lead-engine | /bizdev-outreach, /lead-brief, /lead-pull, /weekly-outreach, /referral-ask |
pipeline-analyst |
core-ops | /weekly-outreach, /plan-tomorrow, any pipeline-review |
pipeline-forecast |
core-ops | /forecast (monthly), board-prep workflows |
news-curator |
news-curator | /ai-roundup (scan + rank) |
post-assembler |
news-curator | /ai-roundup (drafts the post) |
Confidence-aware delegation: when an agent returns Low confidence, parent skills pause and ask for context rather than proceeding silently with thin data.
| Capability | Lives in | What it does |
|---|---|---|
/end-day |
cortex | 5-min daily close — recap, reflect, commit to memory, optionally pre-stage tomorrow |
/end-week |
cortex | 15-min Friday close — transcript-reviewer + cleanup + review + reflection + optional pre-stage Monday |
/diagnose |
core-ops | Ecosystem health check — surfaces missing setups, connector gaps, subagent availability |
/log-agent-run + /agent-metrics |
core-ops | Lightweight telemetry — meta-only logs of agent quality/acceptance over time |
/register-schedules |
core-ops | Bulk-register standing schedules from a versioned schedules.md library — make new-machine setup repeatable |
These don't add new user-facing capabilities so much as they make the rest of the stack durable, observable, and reproducible.
Solo consultant / founder running BD on Claude:
claude-cortex + core-ops + lead-engine + bizdev-outreach + weekly-outreach + referral-engine + time-tracking
Memory + pipeline + signal-driven outbound + per-contact drafting + weekly prep + referral engine + billing.
Agency operator with multiple client engagements:
claude-cortex + core-ops + project-setup + weekly-outreach + plan-tomorrow + time-tracking + client-status
Memory + pipeline + new-engagement onboarding + BD + daily calendar + billing + client retention.
Content-focused operator:
claude-cortex + news-curator + bizdev-outreach + referral-engine
Memory + weekly LinkedIn roundup + per-contact outreach + referral engine.
Cross-team operator (manager / chief-of-staff):
claude-cortex + weekly-alignment + plan-tomorrow + core-ops
Memory + Slack alignment scan + daily calendar + deliverable QA + diagnostics.
Minimum viable starter: claude-cortex + core-ops. Run /setup-identity and /setup-voice first. Everything else builds on top.
The full stack (all 13 plugins): heavy but durable. The closing rituals (/end-day, /end-week) are what make compound value real — without them, plugins still work but you carry more in your head.
Recommended order:
/setup-identity(cortex) — captures name/company/role/tools once. Other plugins skip these questions./setup-voice(cortex) — captures voice descriptors and banned phrases. Drafting plugins read from here.- Per-plugin
/setup-*for each installed plugin (tables above for command names) — captures plugin-specific stuff (CRM properties, ICP, offerings catalog, billing rates, etc.). /diagnose(core-ops) — verify everything is wired up./register-schedules(core-ops) — register the standing schedules fromcore-ops/references/schedules.mdfor daily / weekly / monthly automation.
| Plugin | Setup command | Captures |
|---|---|---|
| claude-cortex | /setup-identity, /setup-voice (shared) |
Identity (name/company/role/tools) + voice (descriptors/banned phrases) |
| core-ops | /setup-core |
CRM, brand, deliverable conventions |
| lead-engine | /lead-setup |
Company, ICP, voice, value-adds, signal preferences |
| bizdev-outreach | /setup |
Company, positioning, products, target market, voice |
| weekly-outreach | /setup-outreach |
ICP, CRM custom properties, cadence tiers, weekly target |
| news-curator | /setup-news |
Topic, audience, sources, voice, post format |
| plan-tomorrow | /setup-plan |
Working hours, CRM, calendar conventions |
| project-setup | /setup-projects |
Offerings catalog, drive layout, communication defaults |
| time-tracking | /setup-time |
Clients, billing models, calendar tagging, invoice prefs |
| client-status | /setup-status |
Cadence, status template, per-client overrides, delivery channel |
| referral-engine | /setup-referrals |

Each plugin lives in its own GitHub repo. To customize one:
- Fork the plugin repo (e.g.,
BrightWayAI/lead-engine→yourname/lead-engine). - Update
marketplace.jsonin your marketplace fork (or create your own marketplace) to point at your repo instead. - Edit, commit, push. Cowork picks up your changes on next startup.
Templates inside plugins (e.g., references/templates/ in project-setup, time-tracking, client-status, referral-engine) are intended to be edited per-firm. The starter content reflects BrightWay AI's offerings — replace it with your own.
See docs/multi-agent-patterns.md for guidance on chaining subagents inside your own plugins.
Each plugin manages its own issues:
