Beagle is a Claude Code plugin marketplace with 127 skills across code review, documentation, testing, architectural analysis, and git workflows. Use it to review before you push, detect AI-generated artifacts, draft and improve docs, generate test plans, and analyze codebases — across Python, Go, Rust, Elixir, React, iOS/Swift, and AI frameworks.

Used with Amelia for agent-based workflows and Daydream for automated review-fix-test loops.

Installation

Prerequisites:

• Claude Code CLI installed
• agent-browser for the run-test-plan skill (optional)

# Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/existential-birds/beagle

# Install the plugins you need
claude plugin install beagle-core@existential-birds
claude plugin install beagle-python@existential-birds
claude plugin install beagle-react@existential-birds

Verify installation by opening a new Claude Code session and running /beagle-core:commit-push — if the skill loads, the plugin is active.

To update:

claude plugin marketplace update existential-birds && claude plugin update <plugin-name>

Troubleshooting:

• "Marketplace file not found": Remove stale entries from ~/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json and restart Claude Code.
• Plugin not updating: Run claude plugin marketplace update existential-birds to refresh the marketplace.

Other Agents

Use the skills CLI to install beagle skills for other AI agents:

npx skills add existential-birds/beagle

This downloads the skills and configures them for your agent.

Codex users: Link each plugin into ~/.agents/skills/ — see .codex/INSTALL.md for setup instructions.
