Claude Code Plugin
Install the Jamdesk plugin for Claude Code to get AI assistance with MDX components, docs.json configuration, navigation patterns, and CLI commands.
This plugin gives Claude Code the Jamdesk knowledge you would otherwise explain in every prompt: which components exist, how docs.json works, what the CLI commands are.
You need Claude Code installed first. Get it at claude.ai/code.
Installation
Run this slash command in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add jamdesk/jamdesk-claude-plugin/plugin install jamdesk@jamdesk-marketplaceYou can also find it by running /plugin and selecting Discover.
git clone https://github.com/jamdesk/jamdesk-claude-plugin.git
claude --plugin-dir ./jamdesk-claude-pluginWhat's Included
The plugin has one skill, /jamdesk:jamdesk. It holds a quick-reference hub and three reference files that load on demand:
| Reference | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Components | 25+ MDX components (Cards, Steps, Tabs, Callouts, Code Groups, Tables, and more) with complete props and examples |
| Configuration | Full docs.json schema: themes, colors, branding, navbar, footer, API config, 20+ analytics integrations |
| Navigation | 8 navigation patterns: flat, grouped, tabbed, multi-product, versioned, multi-language, dropdowns, OpenAPI |
The hub also lists the 19 CLI commands, page frontmatter fields, image sizing syntax, writing standards, and common mistakes.
Usage
Run /jamdesk:jamdesk while you work on Jamdesk docs.
Claude may activate the skill automatically in a project with a docs.json.
Claude answers common questions, such as component syntax and CLI commands, from the hub. It loads a reference file for full props tables, config options, or navigation pattern details.
Example Prompts
Create a quickstart page with Steps, a CodeGroup for
install commands, and a Warning about prerequisites.Pairing with CLAUDE.md and MCP
The plugin works best in a three-layer setup:
- The plugin teaches Claude about Jamdesk's platform: components, config, navigation, CLI.
- CLAUDE.md teaches Claude about your project's conventions: writing style, terminology, page structure.
- The MCP server lets Claude search and read your published docs.
You don't need all three. The plugin is useful on its own. A CLAUDE.md and an MCP connection let Claude match your site's voice and link to existing pages.
Updating and Source
Check for updates by running /plugin in Claude Code. You can also re-run the install command to pull the latest version.
The plugin is open source (Apache 2.0). Browse source, file issues, or contribute: github.com/jamdesk/jamdesk-claude-plugin. Changelog.
