Claude Plugin Reinstall

Use this skill to refresh or reinstall the CALL-E Claude Code plugin during local development of this repository.

If the user asks to delete, remove, uninstall, or clean local CALL-E Claude plugin state, follow the clean removal workflow below instead of the reinstall workflow.

Key Model

• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json is the marketplace catalog.
• packages/claude-plugin/plugin/ is the plugin source.
• The current Claude skill lives in packages/claude-plugin/plugin/skills/calle/ and is invoked as /calle:calle. Do not verify with the pre-rename phone-call entrypoint.
• Claude Code 2.x may expose plugin install/update/manage only as interactive slash commands (/plugin ...) even when the shell command claude plugin validate exists. Do not assume shell commands such as claude plugin install, claude plugin list, or claude plugin marketplace update are available.
• Claude loads installed/enabled plugins from Claude settings and known marketplaces. If a settings file is invalid, Claude can ignore enabledPlugins, which makes an installed plugin appear missing.
• A local development install should prefer the current repository as a directory marketplace when .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and packages/claude-plugin/plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json exist.
• If the local repository source is not available, use the GitHub marketplace source from the install docs.
• Because this plugin declares an explicit version in packages/claude-plugin/plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json, Claude Code may skip updates when files change but the version stays the same.
• Do not manually rewrite Claude's plugin cache as the normal reinstall path. Cache edits are a last-resort debug workaround and must be reported clearly.
• Clean removal means removing Claude's local state for the CALL-E plugin. Do not delete repository source such as packages/claude-plugin/plugin/, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, or .agents/skills/... unless the user explicitly asks to delete source files.

Clean Removal Workflow

Use this branch when the user asks to delete, remove, uninstall, or clean local CALL-E Claude plugin state.

First inspect active Claude processes and all known state sources. A running Claude session can keep /plugin populated from memory and can rewrite known_marketplaces.json after it was cleaned:

ps -axo pid,ppid,pgid,stat,etime,command | rg '(^|/| )claude( |$)|Claude.app|claude-code|call-e|calle' || true
node -e 'const fs=require("fs"); for (const f of [`${process.env.HOME}/.claude.json`,`${process.env.HOME}/.claude/settings.json`,`${process.env.HOME}/.claude/settings.local.json`,`${process.env.HOME}/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json`,`${process.env.HOME}/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json`,`${process.cwd()}/.claude/settings.local.json`]) { console.log("FILE", f); if (!fs.existsSync(f)) { console.log("missing"); continue; } console.log(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(f,"utf8")), null, 2)); }'
rg -n -i --hidden --glob '!**/node_modules/**' --glob '!**/.git/**' --glob '!**/logs/**' --glob '!**/*.log' '\bcalle\b|calle_|call-e|phone-call|call_e|plugin_calle' ~/.claude.json ~/.claude .claude "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude" 2>/dev/null || true
find ~/.claude .claude "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude" -maxdepth 12 \( -iname '*call-e*' -o -iname '*phone-call*' -o -iname '*calle*' \) -print 2>/dev/null | sort

If a user-owned claude process is active and the user wants /plugin to stop showing calle immediately, stop that process before cleaning. Otherwise tell the user to exit/restart Claude Code after cleanup.

Remove all CALL-E/CALLE plugin state from these locations:

• ~/.claude/settings.json
  • enabledPlugins["calle@call-e-claude"]
  • extraKnownMarketplaces["call-e-claude"]
• ~/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json
  • call-e-claude
• ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json
  • plugins["calle@call-e-claude"]
• ~/.claude/settings.local.json
  • permission entries matching CALL-E/CALLE plugin commands
• project .claude/settings.local.json
  • extraKnownMarketplaces["call-e-claude"]
  • permission entries matching mcp__plugin_calle_calle, CALLE_, call-e, phone-call, or calle
• ~/.claude.json
  • skillUsage keys such as calle:calle and calle:phone-call
  • githubRepoPaths keys such as calle-ai/call-e-integrations
  • project entries whose path is CALL-E/CALLE-specific if the user asked for all CALL-E/CALLE traces
• directories:
  • ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/call-e-claude
  • ~/.claude/plugins/cache/call-e-claude

For aggressive "all CALL-E/CALLE traces" cleanup, also remove or filter local history/cache files containing direct CALL-E/CALLE terms under:

• ~/.claude/backups
• ~/.claude/debug
• ~/.claude/history.jsonl
• ~/.claude/projects
• ~/.claude/sessions
• ~/.claude/file-history
• ~/.claude/ide
• $HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude

Use structured JSON parsing for JSON files and guard every filesystem deletion so it stays under ~/.claude, project .claude, or $HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude. Use a case-insensitive cleanup pattern that includes calle, CALLE_, call-e, phone-call, call_e, and plugin_calle.

After cleanup, verify with all of the following. The grep/find commands should produce no CALL-E/CALLE output, and known_marketplaces.json should only show non-CALL-E marketplaces:

node -e 'const fs=require("fs"); for (const f of [`${process.env.HOME}/.claude.json`,`${process.env.HOME}/.claude/settings.json`,`${process.env.HOME}/.claude/settings.local.json`,`${process.env.HOME}/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json`,`${process.env.HOME}/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json`,`${process.cwd()}/.claude/settings.local.json`]) { console.log("FILE", f); if (!fs.existsSync(f)) { console.log("missing"); continue; } const data=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(f,"utf8")); console.log(/\bcalle\b|calle_|call-e|phone-call|call_e|plugin_calle/i.test(JSON.stringify(data)) ? "HAS_MATCH" : "clean"); }'
rg -n -i --hidden --glob '!**/node_modules/**' --glob '!**/.git/**' --glob '!**/logs/**' --glob '!**/*.log' '\bcalle\b|calle_|call-e|phone-call|call_e|plugin_calle' ~/.claude.json ~/.claude .claude "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude" 2>/dev/null || true
find ~/.claude .claude "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude" -maxdepth 12 \( -iname '*call-e*' -o -iname '*phone-call*' -o -iname '*calle*' \) -print 2>/dev/null | sort
ps -axo pid,ppid,pgid,stat,etime,command | rg '(^|/| )claude( |$)|Claude.app|claude-code' || true

Report whether an active Claude process had to be stopped, which state sources were cleaned, whether repository source was left untouched, and whether Claude Code still needs to be restarted.

Reinstall Decision Tree

Run from the repository root:

claude plugin validate .
claude plugin validate packages/claude-plugin/plugin
test -f packages/claude-plugin/plugin/skills/calle/SKILL.md
test -f packages/claude-plugin/plugin/skills/calle/references/commands.md

Then inspect the current Claude state. Prefer focused summaries over dumping full settings files:

claude --version
claude plugin --help
node -e 'const fs=require("fs"); const home=process.env.HOME; for (const file of ["settings.json","plugins/known_marketplaces.json","plugins/installed_plugins.json"]) { const p=`${home}/.claude/${file}`; console.log(`FILE ${p}`); if (!fs.existsSync(p)) { console.log("missing"); continue; } const data=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(p,"utf8")); if (file==="settings.json") console.log(JSON.stringify({permissionsDefaultMode:data.permissions?.defaultMode, enabledPlugins:data.enabledPlugins}, null, 2)); else console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)); }'
find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -maxdepth 5 -type f 2>/dev/null | sort

Also run /doctor in Claude, or start a short debug Claude session, when the plugin is missing in the UI. Fix invalid settings before reinstalling. In Claude Code 2.0.14, for example, permissions.defaultMode must be one of default, acceptEdits, bypassPermissions, or plan; an invalid value can cause enabledPlugins to be ignored.

Choose the reinstall path:

• If calle@call-e-claude is already enabled and the marketplace source points at this repository, validate the local source, fix any invalid settings, then restart Claude Code or run /reload-plugins when available.

• If installed_plugins.json points at a cache path that does not exist, report that Claude's install record is stale and reinstall through the interactive slash commands below.

• If calle@call-e-claude is not enabled, but this repository has a valid local marketplace and plugin source, install from the local directory marketplace first:

  /plugin marketplace add .
  /plugin install calle@call-e-claude
  

• If the local repository source is missing or invalid, install from GitHub:

  /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/CALLE-AI/call-e-integrations.git#@call-e/claude-plugin@latest
  /plugin install calle@call-e-claude
  

• If shell plugin management commands are available in the installed Claude version, the same source priority applies: local directory first, GitHub second. Validate command availability with claude plugin --help before using shell install/update/list commands.

• After install or settings changes, restart Claude Code or run /reload-plugins when available.

Fastest Debug Path

For quick iteration on plugin files without marketplace cache/version behavior, first check whether the installed shell CLI exposes --plugin-dir:

claude --plugin-dir packages/claude-plugin/plugin --help
claude --plugin-dir packages/claude-plugin/plugin

Use this to verify skill text, .mcp.json, and manifest changes while editing only when the option is accepted. Some Claude Code 2.x shell builds reject --plugin-dir; in that case, rely on claude plugin validate, then reload or reinstall through the interactive /plugin ... slash commands. Use marketplace install/update only when testing the real user installation path.

Verification

After reinstall or reload, verify from this repository in Claude Code:

/doctor
/plugin manage
/calle:calle Verify CALL-E setup only; do not place a real phone call.

If /plugin manage does not show calle, inspect:

• invalid settings reported by /doctor
• enabledPlugins.calle@call-e-claude in ~/.claude/settings.json
• call-e-claude in ~/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json
• stale or missing install cache paths in ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json
• whether the selected marketplace source is local directory or GitHub

Always tell the user what happened after the workflow finishes: whether the plugin was already installed, whether local or GitHub source was used, what was changed, what validation passed or failed, and whether Claude Code still needs a restart or /reload-plugins.
