Dendrite — Development skill for Claude Code

Dendrite

Dendrite is a portable plugin catalog for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini. It packages agent skills, MCP server registrations, commands, hooks, config helpers, Gemini extension manifests, and OpenAI companion metadata in one place.

Use it when you want a single marketplace that can install the same practical agent capabilities across multiple runtimes.

Why Install It

Dendrite is useful when you want an agent to do more than edit files:

• Run full development loops with vibin: prepare safe worktrees, commit and push, review PRs, check merge readiness, debug CI, save session logs, and drive helper tools.
• Test real apps with testing, webwright, agent-browser, and browser / device automation skills.
• Work with homelab and service APIs through focused skills for Paperless, Qdrant, Neo4j, Linkding, AdGuard, Dozzle, Scrutiny, SWAG, Navidrome, and related tools.
• Build and maintain MCP servers and plugins with mcp-server-dev, plugin-dev, rtemplate, and acp.
• Add stronger review and coding workflows through curated plugins such as superpowers, lavra, pr-review-toolkit, code-simplifier, and feature-dev.
• Bring in search, RAG, and research helpers such as lumen, axon, and notebooklm.

The generated inventory below shows which plugins are carried locally and which ones are installed by reference from upstream repositories.

Marketplace Installation

Dendrite publishes one marketplace, from `main`. It carries the full catalog, including plugin-provided MCP registrations:

claude plugin marketplace add dinglebear-ai/dendrite
codex plugin marketplace add dinglebear-ai/dendrite

Gemini installs individual extension directories rather than one Dendrite-wide marketplace catalog:

gemini extensions install plugins/acp --consent --skip-settings
gemini extensions link plugins/acp
