The plugin kit Plugin

The plugin-kit Plugin

A Claude Code plugin that adds $.kit to every mod that depends on it. It lives in plugin/ and is listed in the aeriondyseti-plugins marketplace.

Installing

claude plugin marketplace add aeriondyseti/aeriondyseti-plugins
claude plugin install plugin-kit@aeriondyseti-plugins

Or in a session: /plugin install plugin-kit@aeriondyseti-plugins. Users of a mod that depends on it usually get it automatically (see Widgets in Mods).

$.kit

Every method takes and returns plain JSON.

Method	Returns
render({ id, widgets, barWidth?, listLimit?, glyphs? })	a UI description of the widgets, for hydrate
line({ widgets })	the widgets on one line of plain text, joined with ·
parse({ name, widget })	{ ok: true, widget } or { ok: false, error }
catalog()	{ table, schema }: the markdown table and the JSON Schema from Widgets

render's barWidth, listLimit and glyphs override the user's settings for that drawing. Most mods should leave them out.

Settings

The user sets the kit's look once, for every mod that draws through it, in /config or claude plugin configure plugin-kit:

Setting	Default
glyphs	unicode	ascii draws bars as ###---, clocks as **.., bullets as -
barWidth	10	cells in a meter's bar
listLimit	5	items a list shows before folding

Restyling the kit from another plugin

Every $.kit method is also an event, so a plugin can rewrite what every caller asks for:

on('kit.render', ($, e, next) => next({ ...e, barWidth: 20 }));

What the kit keeps

One value in $.state: per drawing id, the names of its unfolded lists. It's session state, so lists start folded in a new session.

Types

A plugin that depends on plugin-kit gets its contract in .claude-plugin/types/plugin-kit/index.d.ts: Kit, KitWidget and the per-type Kit*Widgets, KitUiElement, KitRenderArgs, KitParseResult, KitGlyphs. They mirror the Widgets types.
