 # Rokk Club Agent Plugins
 
-Rokk Club publishes portable agent plugins for Codex and Claude Code from one repository. Plugins are added one at a time under [`plugins/`](plugins/README.md).
+Give your coding agent more ways to help: review a change, make sense of its settings, explain an unfamiliar topic, or shape an engaging piece of writing.
+
+Rokk Club brings these workflows to Codex and Claude Code as plugins you can install individually. Browse the collection below and choose the ones that fit your work.
 
 ## Marketplaces
 
-Codex reads `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` and installs packages that follow the [Agent Plugins v1 specification](https://agent-plugins.org/specification).
+Start by adding the marketplace for your client, then install a plugin using its command below. The badges show which clients each plugin targets.
+
+For Codex, run in your terminal:
 
 ```sh
 codex plugin marketplace add letsrokk/agent-plugins
 ```
 
-Claude Code reads `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`.
+For Claude Code, run inside the app:
 
 ```text
 /plugin marketplace add letsrokk/agent-plugins
 ```
 
-Both catalogs reference the same package directories. Portable components stay shared; client-specific manifests and components live beside them only when required.
+Papercuts and Read the Room require Node.js 24 or later on your client’s `PATH`. In Codex, review and trust their startup hooks in `/hooks`, then start a fresh session. Other requirements and activation steps are documented in each plugin’s README under [`plugins/`](plugins/README.md).

+## Try a plugin
+
+After installing Agent Doctor, start a fresh session in your project and ask:
+
+```text
+Use the inspect-agent-config skill to audit this project’s settings and instructions.
+```
+
+Expect a report explaining configuration problems, suggested fixes, and anything the agent could not verify. The audit leaves your files unchanged.
+
 ## Add a plugin
 
-Follow the full [plugin development workflow](docs/plugin-development.md).
+Have a workflow to share? Follow the [plugin development workflow](docs/plugin-development.md). Packages use the [Agent Plugins v1 specification](https://agent-plugins.org/specification) as a base, with native client manifests where needed. The Codex and Claude Code catalogs point to the same shared plugin directories.
 
-1. Create `plugins/<plugin-name>/plugin.json` using the Agent Plugins v1 schema.
+1. Create `plugins/<plugin-name>/plugin.json` using the documented manifest rules.
 2. Add the plugin components in their standard locations.
 3. Add the compatibility manifest for each target catalog.
 4. Add a matching entry to one or both marketplace catalogs.
-5. Run the repository validation commands before committing.
+5. With Node.js 24 or later, run the repository checks before committing:
+
+   ```sh
+   npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund
+   npm test
+   npm run validate
+   ```
+
+The tests should pass and validation should print `Marketplace validation passed.` Scripted plugins also need their own test and validation entrypoints, as described in the development workflow.
