📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds dedicated uxd-design and uxd-research plugins. It moves design handoff and discovery skills from uxd-workshop, adds evaluation cases, and updates marketplace, assistant, repository, and plugin documentation.

Changes

UXD plugin split

Layer / File(s) Summary
Design handoff plugin
plugins/uxd-design/...
Adds the uxd-design manifests, README, uxd-design-handoff skill, and evaluation cases for missing input, acceptance criteria, prototype input, and state enumeration.
Research discovery plugin
plugins/uxd-research/...
Adds the uxd-research README, uxd-discovery skill, and evaluation cases for user input, feature descriptions, user groups, and Jira inputs.
Plugin registration and documentation
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json, CONTRIBUTING-SKILLS.md, PLUGINS.md, README.md, plugins/uxd-assist/..., plugins/uxd-workshop/README.md
Registers both plugins, documents their skills, updates UXD assistant references, adjusts evaluation coverage, and removes the moved skills from uxd-workshop.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 92b1b

The moved discovery skill's evaluation may fail to run, and supported integrations can expose different plugin catalogs. Resolve both configuration issues before merging.

Nitpick: Keep both marketplace manifests identical.

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json contains patternfly at Lines [8]-[10], but .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json has pf-assist at Lines [8]-[10] and does not contain that entry. Plugin discovery can differ between Claude and Cursor. Synchronize the full manifests before merge.

As per path instructions, “Manifests must be identical in .claude-plugin/ and .cursor-plugin/.”

agent-eval-harness runner plugin_dirs colocated eval skill automatic plugin discovery GitHub

💡 Result:

In the context of the agent-eval-harness, runner configuration and plugin management operate through a modular architecture designed for extensibility and automated discovery. Runner Configuration and plugin_dirs The runner block in the eval.yaml configuration allows users to define execution parameters such as the runner type (e.g., claude-code, codex), effort levels, and environment settings [1][2][3]. The plugin_dirs parameter is a list of directories from which the harness loads plugins [1][2]. When using specific runners like codex, the harness is configured to pass every entry in runner.plugin_dirs as a manifest-declared skill root to ensure that all sibling dependencies remain discoverable, rather than narrowing the orchestrator to a single primary skill directory [4][5]. Colocated Evaluation Skills Evaluation skills (such as eval-run) can be colocated within the harness structure. When executing these, the harness often uses a dedicated virtual environment (.eval-venv) to ensure that dependencies are correctly loaded [4][5]. In these setups, the plugin root is dynamically resolved (e.g., via ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}), and relevant paths are added to the PYTHONPATH to ensure the agent_eval package and its plugins are accessible during execution [4][5]. Automatic Plugin Discovery The harness utilizes a sophisticated, event-driven architecture that supports automatic and dynamic plugin discovery [6][7][8]. Key aspects include: - Lifecycle Hooks: Plugins (which inherit from BaseEvalPlugin) hook into specific stages of the evaluation loop (e.g., on_discover_adapters, on_run_start) via a PluginManager [6][7]. - Adapter Registry: The AgentAdapterRegistry dynamically discovers and registers agent protocols (like autogen:// or langgraph://) at runtime, allowing new frameworks to be added without modifying the core engine [6][8]. - Zero-Touch Discovery: Some implementations feature automatic discovery mechanisms, such as identifying tool endpoints or agent names from metadata, to enrich leaderboards and trajectories without requiring framework-level configuration [6][7]. These mechanisms collectively allow the harness to be extended with custom environment simulators, console routes, and agent adapters through a zero-touch, hot-swappable plugin bus [7][8].

Add plugins/uxd-research to plugin_dirs. The runner passes only configured plugin directories to Claude Code. This skill is packaged under plugins/uxd-research, while the evaluation loads only plugins/uxd-workshop and has no project-local .claude/skills directory. The evaluation can fail because the selected skill is not discoverable.
