Claude CodeArsenal.
Every extension, plugin, and MCP server powering the ChimeraWerks development environment.
Plugins.
Claude Code CLI plugins enabled via the /plugins command. These add specialized agents, skills, and integrations that activate automatically based on context. Not available in Claude Desktop — CCD has its own separate extension marketplace.
GitHub
github@claude-plugins-officialNative GitHub integration. Create PRs, manage issues, search repos, and review code without leaving the editor.
WHY: Core workflow — every commit, branch, and PR flows through this.
INSTALL: /plugins in CC CLI
Playwright
playwright@claude-plugins-officialBrowser automation for testing web apps. Navigate, click, fill forms, take screenshots, and validate UI behavior programmatically.
WHY: Live-test Chimera Studio's frontend without manual clicking.
INSTALL: /plugins in CC CLI
Code Simplifier
code-simplifier@claude-plugins-officialAutomatically simplifies and refines code after writing. Reduces complexity while preserving functionality.
WHY: Keeps code lean. Fights the natural entropy of iterative development.
INSTALL: /plugins in CC CLI
PR Review Toolkit
pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-officialSpecialized review agents for pull requests. Runs code review, type analysis, silent failure detection, and comment analysis in parallel.
WHY: Comprehensive PR review without context-switching to a browser.
INSTALL: /plugins in CC CLI
Context7
context7@claude-plugins-officialFetches up-to-date documentation and code examples for any library. Queries real docs instead of relying on training data.
WHY: No more hallucinated API signatures. Always current docs.
INSTALL: /plugins in CC CLI
Feature Dev
feature-dev@claude-plugins-officialGuided feature development with codebase exploration, architecture design, and implementation review agents.
WHY: Structured feature planning that understands the existing codebase.
INSTALL: /plugins in CC CLI
MCP Servers.
MCP servers expose external tools to Claude via a standardized protocol. These run as local processes and work in both CC CLI and Claude Desktop.
Everything Search
mcp-server-everything-searchInstant full-system file search powered by Voidtools Everything. Finds any file on any NTFS drive in milliseconds via the Everything SDK.
WHY: Find any file across all drives instantly. No more manual browsing or slow Windows Search.
INSTALL: ~/.claude/.mcp.json (CLI) + claude_desktop_config.json (CCD)
Comfy-Pilot
comfyui (comfy-pilot)MCP server bridging Claude to a running ComfyUI instance. Execute workflows, manage nodes, and control image generation pipelines directly from the AI assistant.
WHY: Direct AI control over ComfyUI workflows. Queue generations, swap models, and iterate without touching the browser.
INSTALL: ~/.claude/.mcp.json (CLI) + claude_desktop_config.json (CCD)
Filesystem
ant.dir.ant.anthropic.filesystemRead, write, search, and manage files and directories. Gives Claude direct access to your local filesystem for editing code, organizing files, and exploring project structures.
WHY: Essential for any coding task in Claude Desktop. CC CLI has this built-in.
INSTALL: ~/.claude/.mcp.json (CLI) + CCD Extensions tab
Windows-MCP
ant.dir.cursortouch.windows-mcpWindows system control via MCP. Manage processes, read system info, interact with the Windows shell, control windows, and automate OS-level tasks.
WHY: System automation — kill processes, check ports, manage services without switching to a terminal.
INSTALL: ~/.claude/.mcp.json (CLI) + CCD Extensions tab
Android-MCP
ant.dir.gh.cursortouch.android-mcpControl Android emulators and devices via ADB. Take screenshots, tap elements, install APKs, and automate mobile app testing from Claude Desktop.
WHY: Future mobile app development — test Android builds without manual ADB commands.
INSTALL: ~/.claude/.mcp.json (CLI) + CCD Extensions tab
Docling MCP
ant.dir.gh.docling-project.docling-mcpAdvanced document conversion and parsing. Converts PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, and other formats into structured markdown or JSON using IBM's Docling engine.
WHY: Heavy-duty document parsing — when the built-in PDF reader isn't enough for complex layouts or non-PDF formats.
INSTALL: ~/.claude/.mcp.json (CLI) + CCD Extensions tab
Prerequisites.
System-level tools required by the plugins and MCP servers above.
uv
astral-sh/uvBlazing-fast Python package installer and runner. Used by Claude extensions to manage their own virtual environments and dependencies.
WHY: Required by Claude Code's extension system. Extensions won't install without it.
INSTALL: irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex
Voidtools Everything
voidtools.comSystem-wide instant file search for Windows. Indexes every file on all NTFS drives in seconds. Runs as a lightweight tray app. The Everything SDK DLL is needed for the MCP server.
WHY: The backbone of the Everything Search MCP. Must be running for searches to work.
INSTALL: winget install voidtools.Everything + SDK DLL
Skills.
Custom slash commands built for this workflow. These replace generic always-on plugins with targeted, on-demand tools that only cost tokens when invoked.
Research
/researchAuto-scaling web research powered by Crawl4AI. Searches the web, scrapes results in parallel with BM25 content filtering, and auto-escalates to adaptive deep crawling when information is incomplete or conflicting.
WHY: Get thorough, sourced answers without leaving the terminal. Reads the actual pages, not summaries.
Scrape
/scrapeDirect URL extraction with Crawl4AI. Fetches raw markdown, structured data via CSS selectors, deep site crawls, and PDF parsing. Supports virtual scroll for infinite-feed sites.
WHY: When you need the actual content from a specific page — not a search engine summary.
Security Audit
/audit-securityOn-demand security audit using Semgrep static analysis + manual OWASP Top 10 review. Scans changed files or full project, triages findings, and filters false positives.
WHY: Replaced always-on security plugins that burned tokens every message. Run when you actually need it.
Max Mode
/maxSwitches to maximum accuracy mode. Unlimited agents, full file reads, thorough validation on every step. No shortcuts.
WHY: For critical work where getting it right matters more than speed.
Crawler.
Open-source web crawling engine (v0.8.5 develop branch) powering the /research and /scrape skills. Runs locally with a stealth Chromium browser, persistent profile, and intelligent content filtering.
Parallel Scraping
arun_many + dispatcherScrape 20-50+ URLs simultaneously using MemoryAdaptiveDispatcher. Auto-throttles based on available RAM — no hardcoded limits.
BM25 Content Filtering
BM25ContentFilterQuery-relevant extraction that reduces 500KB pages to ~2KB of relevant paragraphs. Zero token cost — runs locally with pure algorithmic text ranking.
Adaptive Crawling
AdaptiveCrawlerAuto-stops when information is saturated. Tracks coverage, consistency, and saturation across pages — knows when to keep going and when to stop.
Anti-Bot Detection
v0.8.5 develop branch3-tier detection for Cloudflare, Akamai, PerimeterX, DataDome, and more. Auto-retries with proxy escalation chains when blocked.
Stealth Browser
BrowserConfigPatchright (stealth Playwright fork) with persistent profile, consent popup removal, shadow DOM flattening, and ad/CSS blocking.
PDF & Virtual Scroll
PDFCrawlerStrategy + VirtualScrollConfigParse PDFs directly. Handle Twitter/Instagram-style virtual scroll where content replaces instead of appends. Extract from any page type.
