The ship-feature pipelines have always depended on the `superpowers`
plugin — skills/ship-feature/SKILL.md calls its skills by name, and the
node detect rules match `Skill` events named `brainstorming`,
`writing-plans`, `test-driven-development` — but no README, INSTALL,
manifest or SKILL.md said so, and /ccam-doctor did not check. Install the
`ccam` plugin without it and `/ccam:ship-feature-lane` runs partway, then
fails at the first skill call with no warning beforehand.
/ccam-doctor now derives the requirement from the loaded pipeline
templates rather than a hardcoded list: every `/plugin:skill` a template
names, as its own `skill` or as one node's `command`, has to come from an
installed and enabled plugin. Editing a template cannot leave the check
behind, and a custom template in DASHBOARD_PIPELINES_DIR naming some
other plugin is covered for free.
Three deliberate calls:
- WARN, never FAIL. The dashboard, hooks, CLI and MCP all work without
it; failing a doctor run over it would cry wolf.
- A plugin present but explicitly disabled counts as missing — Claude
Code will not resolve its skills either way.
- The skills sitting in ~/.claude/skills/ count as satisfied. That is a
legitimate hand-copied setup, and calling it broken is how a warning
row teaches its reader to ignore it.
Docs state the prerequisite where someone installing would look: README
and INSTALL requirements, plus docs/PLUGINS.md for how the row decides.
The install line is `superpowers@claude-plugins-official`, verified
present in that marketplace's manifest.
Verified: npm run test:server (1379, +6 covering all three calls above
plus the partially-satisfied case), npm run test:client (459), prettier
and check-headers clean. `node scripts/plugin-doctor.js` here reports
`OK Skill plugins superpowers available`; the WARN branches were checked
against a temp CLAUDE_HOME.
A plugin update applied mid-session (/plugin followed by /reload-plugins)
fires no SessionStart, so the bootstrap's version handover never runs and the
dashboard server keeps executing a cache directory Claude Code has already
discarded. /ccam-open then rebuilt the bundle from the new root against that
old server, and the new bundle called routes the old server never had:
/api/lanes/pipeline-stats fell through to /:id and rendered "lane not found",
/api/workflows/skill-usage fell through to the SPA catch-all and broke
JSON.parse on the returned HTML. Both Workflows panels showed an error while
the code they needed was sitting on disk.
plugin-open now re-runs bootstrap when the live server's recorded pluginRoot
differs from the current one, or when no server is live at all. Bootstrap
already owns the stop/start and the dependency install the new root may need,
so this only restores the trigger that a mid-session update skips.
Docs and the command's own instructions previously implied /ccam-update
fetches new code; it only reinstalled deps and restarted the server
against whatever version was already resolved. It now also runs
`claude plugin marketplace update` + `claude plugin update ccam@<mp> -y`
first, and says plainly that /reload-plugins is still a manual step
(no CLI/script equivalent exists to apply it automatically).
/ccam-open built only when client/dist was missing, so a stale bundle
silently outlived code fixes (seen 2026-08-13: fix b0bfc66 wasn't served
until a --force rebuild). Pass --force unconditionally.
Adds a root `ccam` plugin (`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `"source": "./"`) so
`/plugin marketplace add` + `/plugin install ccam@...` is enough on a machine
with nothing but Claude Code: no clone, no npm run setup, no manual npm start.
- scripts/plugin-bootstrap.js: SessionStart hook. Fast-path exit, Node >=22.5
gate (node:sqlite), mkdir lock with stale reclaim, deps installed into
~/.claude/agent-dashboard/runtime/ (never the plugin cache), legacy
checkout-hook cleanup (backed up), ~/.local/bin/ccam launcher, eager UI
build so client routes like /run work immediately, detached server spawn.
- scripts/plugin-open.js, scripts/plugin-doctor.js: /ccam-open, /ccam-doctor.
- server/index.js: DASHBOARD_CLIENT_DIST override (plugin cache is read-only).
- mcp/build/ is committed (plugin MCP servers start before any bootstrap could
build them) and kept honest by scripts/check-mcp-build.js (content hash,
not mtime), enforced by pre-commit when mcp/src changes.
- plugins/ccam-dashboard/.mcp.json moved under plugins/ccam/ with a working
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path (the old relative path never resolved from a
marketplace-cached subdir).
- Docs: README, INSTALL, SETUP, ARCHITECTURE, CLAUDE.md, docs/PLUGINS.md,
docs/MCP.md, docs/CLI.md, docs/HOOKS.md.

Internal SmartGift build of a Claude Code monitoring dashboard.
Lanes: a durable unit of parallel agent work, one per working directory,
tracked across session restarts. Managed lanes are git worktrees the
dashboard provisions and can reset or remove behind a three-check destroy
guard and a counted preflight; adopted lanes are directories you already
own and are never destroyable.
Pipelines: a lane moves through pipeline stages. A stage the agent declares
with evidence renders green; a stage inferred from the tool-event stream
renders dashed amber and never counts as done. Detection is forward-only
within a 30-minute window, and never writes the declared stage.
Workspace: one page at /run with a lane grid, the selected lane's pipeline,
and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.
