Pluxx Guide
Act as the front door for Pluxx.
Workflow
- Identify the job before suggesting flags:
- create from an MCP, blank project, or host-native plugin
- refine a valid but generic scaffold
- maintain an MCP-derived project after source changes
- verify source, build, install, or behavior
- inspect cross-host translation
- package or publish a release
- Resolve the runtime:
- run
command -v pluxx and pluxx --version
- compare with
npm view @orchid-labs/pluxx version when freshness matters
- use
pluxx upgrade for a stale global install
- fall back to
npx @orchid-labs/pluxx when no global CLI is available
- Read references/command-map.md when the user needs command selection or a full lifecycle explanation. Read references/runtime-troubleshooting.md when installation, PATH, version, upgrade, or help behavior is unclear.
- Route to the narrow skill when the user’s job is clear. Stay here for runtime setup, broad orientation, and failures that do not yet identify a plugin project or proof layer.
- Prefer read-only diagnosis or
--dry-run before any command that writes, installs, or publishes.
Runtime Diagnosis
pluxx --version
npm view @orchid-labs/pluxx version when freshness matters
npx @orchid-labs/pluxx --version when the global command is absent
pluxx help when the runtime is healthy but the next job is unclear
- Route source, build, consumer-bundle, installed-state, and behavioral failures to
pluxx-verify-plugin
Output
Return the current runtime state, the recommended next command, why it is the right command, and whether it will write, install, or publish anything.
