Claude Code Ecosystem Guide

A curated set of tools for enhanced Claude Code workflows.

The Stack

Tool	Type	Purpose
toolkit-skills	Plugin	Forced-eval hook + core skills (pair with any skills plugin)
svelte-skills-kit	Plugin	Svelte/SvelteKit skills (pair with toolkit-skills)
ccrecall	CLI	Sync transcripts → SQLite for analytics
mcp-omnisearch	MCP	Unified search (Tavily, Kagi, GitHub, etc.)
mcp-sqlite-tools	MCP	Safe SQLite operations
mcpick	CLI	Manage MCP servers, plugins, cache, and profiles
research	Skill	Verified source research patterns
skill-creator	Skill	Create Claude skills with best practices

Decision Tree

"I want skills to activate reliably"

→ toolkit-skills - Forced-eval hook evaluates every prompt against available skills. Install alongside any skills plugin.

"I need to search the web"

→ mcp-omnisearch - Web search, GitHub code search, AI answers

"I need to query a database"

→ mcp-sqlite-tools - Read/write SQLite with safety guards

"I have too many MCPs eating context"

→ mcpick - Enable/disable servers per-project

"I need to install or update plugins"

→ mcpick - mcpick plugins install|update|list

"My plugin cache is stale after a version bump"

→ mcpick - mcpick cache clear or mcpick cache clean-orphaned

"I want to track my Claude Code usage"

→ ccrecall - Sync transcripts, query with mcp-sqlite-tools

"I'm building with Svelte/SvelteKit"

→ svelte-skills-kit - Runes, routing, data flow patterns

"I need to research a topic or verify sources"

→ research skill - Verified source research, repo cloning patterns

"I want to create a new Claude skill"

→ skill-creator skill - Progressive disclosure, writing guide, CLI reference

Typical Workflows

Recommended Setup (Skills)

# Core: forced-eval hook + ecosystem skills
npx mcpick plugins install toolkit-skills@claude-code-toolkit

# Domain skills (optional, based on your stack)
npx mcpick plugins install svelte-skills@svelte-skills-kit

# Keep plugins up to date
npx mcpick plugins update toolkit-skills

toolkit-skills hook ensures skills from any plugin activate on relevant prompts.

Add an MCP Server

npx mcpick add omnisearch -- npx -y mcp-omnisearch

Research Mode

npx mcpick enable omnisearch
# Now Claude has web search, GitHub search, AI answers

Data Analysis Mode

npx mcpick enable sqlite-tools
# Query databases, analyze CSVs, manage data

Minimal Context Mode

npx mcpick disable omnisearch sqlite-tools
# Just Claude Code core tools

Fix Stale Plugin Cache

npx mcpick cache status          # Check what's stale
npx mcpick cache clear           # Clear and refresh
npx mcpick cache clean-orphaned  # Remove old versions

Save/Load Profiles

npx mcpick profile save research-mode
npx mcpick profile load research-mode

Analytics Review

bun x ccrecall sync  # Update database
# Then query ~/.claude/ccrecall.db with mcp-sqlite-tools
