Summary

  • Adds plugins/devstack, a first-party plugin with only skills, shipped through the marketplace. It has three skills: devstack:init, devstack:plan and devstack:ship.
  • plan and ship are generic versions of the repo-local create-plan, create-pr, ci-check and respond-to-pr-comments commands. Each repo sets its own values in .devstack/config.md.
  • Adds this repo's .devstack/config.md for dogfooding: checks from CI, PRs assigned to superset-home, codex as reviewer.

Why / Context

Paradev has the primitives (workspaces, agents, pages, automations, the MCP proxy) but no opinionated workflow that runs them in order. devstack is that workflow: Frame → Plan → Fan-out → Review → Verify → Ship → Watch → Retro. This PR is steps 0 and 1 of the research plan. It records the decisions and promotes the commands we already use. The wedge skills (fanout, review) and retro follow in their own PRs (see the Work units in the plan).

Step 0 decisions (recommendations for review)

  • Separate plugin, not part of the superset plugin. The superset plugin is managed and always on; an opinionated workflow should be opt-in and versioned on its own tag. devstack composes superset:orchestrate and superset:page by name.
  • Skill names drop dev-. Installed skills already carry the plugin name, so dev-plan would install as devstack-dev-plan. The names are now devstack:plan, devstack-plan, and so on.
  • Artifacts. .devstack/config.md holds YAML frontmatter for skills and prose for people. A plan is an ExecPlan-style markdown file with a ## Work units YAML block (id, title, depends_on, owns, acceptance, verify, role); fanout reads that block. Workers reuse orchestrate's SUPERSET_WORKER_DONE envelope.
  • Agent per role comes from roles in the config. With no setting, review uses a different agent than the author.
  • Works without the CLI. Units run in order in one checkout, and markdown files replace pages.
  • Linear first, with GitHub Issues as fallback. ship never merges.
  • The repo-local commands stay as they are until devstack is dogfooded.

How It Works

  • superset plugins create devstack --kind none scaffolded the plugin. I then fixed the scaffold output: its $schema pointed at localhost:3002 and its icon was not a built-in key, so the plugin now ships assets/icon.svg.
  • superset plugins publish devstack wrote the marketplace entry (0.1.0) and regenerated manifests.generated.ts.
  • Added a devstack entry to PLUGIN_CATALOG; index.test.ts needs one for every published manifest.

Testing

  • bun run check:plugins: All plugins are valid and published.
  • superset plugins validate plugins/devstack: no problems.
  • bun test in packages/shared/src/plugins (23 pass), packages/trpc plugins and organization-plugins (197 pass), and packages/cli/src/lib/plugins (54 pass).
  • Biome check on the changed files, and tsc for packages/shared.
  • Dogfood: a fresh agent followed devstack:plan on the retro unit. Its Work units YAML parsed and had every field. I fixed the gaps it found in the skill text: unanswered questions, who owns the plan file, research units, sub-plans, the timestamp, and defaults.

Known Limitations

  • I did not test a real install. plugins install and marketplace add are turned off in cloud sandboxes (sandbox: false), and this PR was made in one. Someone needs to run superset plugins install devstack on a desktop machine before release.
  • 0.1.0 becomes public on merge. Merging tags devstack@0.1.0, and the plugin then shows on the marketing marketplace page and in the desktop Plugins page with three of the eight skills. If we want to dogfood first, I can remove version from the marketplace entry. An unreleased entry stays out of the generated bundle.
  • No desktop PluginIcon built-in yet: before install the plugin shows the generic puzzle icon, and after install it shows the icon it ships.

Follow-ups

  • devstack:fanout + devstack:review (the wedge), then retro, then qa + watch.
  • Point create-plan / create-pr at the devstack skills once they are proven.

Summary by cubic

Adds plugins/devstack, a first-party skills-only plugin that runs an agent sprint: devstack:init writes a per-repo .devstack/config.md, devstack:plan writes a plan split into independent work units, and devstack:ship takes a branch to a green, reviewed PR — resuming an existing PR for the branch when one is open, then triaging CI and addressing review findings. It generalizes the repo-local create-plan, create-pr, ci-check and respond-to-pr-comments commands, and dogfoods the plugin with this repo's own .devstack/config.md. The plan in plans/20261110-1846-devstack.md records step 0 decisions and the remaining units (fanout, review, retro, qa, watch).

Known Limitations

  • Merging tags devstack@0.1.0 and makes the plugin public with three of the eight planned skills; removing version from the marketplace entry would keep it unreleased.
  • Install was not tested — plugins install and marketplace add are disabled in cloud sandboxes, so someone needs to run superset plugins install devstack on a desktop machine before release.

Step 0/1 of devstack: a Paradev-native take on gstack, shipped as a
first-party marketplace plugin. Promotes the repo-local create-plan,
create-pr, ci-check and respond-to-pr-comments commands into generic
skills driven by a per-repo .devstack/config.md, and records the step 0
decisions in plans/20261110-1846-devstack.md.

Suggested reviewers: saddlepaddle

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review bd6ce

The ship skill can fail to open a PR when no config is present, can leave an existing PR ready for review after an unattended standards check fails, can skip the plan update when resuming an existing PR, and can close a tracker issue early. These are small text fixes in the skill, and they should be made before the plugin is published.

Review comments at @plugins/devstack/plugin.json:
- Line 5: Update the version 0.1.0 descriptions in the plugin manifest,
marketplace entry, and catalog to reflect that it installs only the init, plan,
and ship skills; remove claims of parallel fanout and independent review.

Review comments at @plugins/devstack/skills/ship/SKILL.md:
- Around line 116-120: Update the review-waiting instructions in the ship skill
to ensure PR review is requested or, when no reviewer is configured, polling
stops and reports that the PR is awaiting review; do not imply that polling will
eventually produce a reviewed PR without an assigned reviewer.
- Line 18: Update the existing-PR shortcut in the ship instructions to check for
pending local changes before skipping ahead. When changes are pending, run steps
1–4 to inspect, check, commit, and push them before resuming at step 6; when
there are no pending changes, preserve the current shortcut.
- Around line 26-27: Update the plan-discovery instructions to search configured
area-specific plan directories in addition to plans_dir, while preserving
branch-frontmatter matching and the option to use a plan named by the user.
- Around line 56-57: Update the ship skill’s plan-completion instructions so the
Outcomes &amp; Retrospective, `status: done`, and move to `<plans_dir>/done/`
occur only after PR creation succeeds; then commit and push the plan update.
Preserve the existing exception for plans spanning multiple PRs.

Review: minor issues. The approach is sound: a separate opt-in plugin, published through plugins publish, generated bundle not hand-edited, and CI green. The problems are in the skill and config text, plus a blank icon on the public marketplace page.

  • .devstack/config.md:10-14: verify is missing CI gates bun run lint, check:versions, check:durable-objects (and Vale lint:prose), so ship can report green when CI will fail.
  • plugins/devstack/skills/ship/SKILL.md:18: "PR already open → skip to step 6" skips checks, the standards gate and the push, so new local work is never checked or pushed.
  • Marketing PluginIcon/constants.ts: devstack renders an empty icon tile on /marketplace/plugins (screenshot on the page). It needs a devstack glyph/image entry (desktop too).
  • init/SKILL.md:27, ship/SKILL.md:15: git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD fails when origin/HEAD is unset. Add a gh repo view fallback.
  • ship/SKILL.md:49-51: the standards gate has no unattended path (plan has one).
  • .devstack/config.md:27: apps/mobile/plans/ is missing from the plan locations.

Question: do you want 0.1.0 public with only init/plan/ship, while the description promises fan-out and review?

Local: check:plugins, plugins validate, shared (23) and cli (54) plugin tests pass. The desktop Plugins page could not be verified (Vite/Electron port mismatch in the sandbox).

reference when the plan spans multiple PRs, and reserve `Closes #<n>` for the PR
that completes the issue. Preserve the closing reference for issues completed by
a single PR.

to done when an existing PR completes it. Do not create another PR; retain the

Normalize the default branch name.

With a typical clone, this command returns origin/main, but gh pr create --base needs the branch name main. The no-config workflow can therefore fail to create the PR. Strip refs/remotes/origin/ from the full symbolic ref, preserving any slashes in the branch name. (git-scm.com)
