Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a plugin for Claude Code that helps it understand OctoberCMS conventions and documentation. Sharing the first version here.
What it does
When using Claude Code for OctoberCMS development, this plugin gives Claude access to version-specific documentation and coding standards. It auto-detects which version you’re using (1.x through 4.x) and loads the relevant docs.
Installation
Start a new claude session and do:
/plugin marketplace add softappstudio/octobercms-claude-plugin
/plugin install octobercms@softappstudio
/octobercms:setup
That’s it.
Current Features
- Auto-detects OctoberCMS version via php artisan october:about
- Downloads documentation on-demand (only what you need)
- Syncs doc updates automatically on session start
- Includes basic development guidance (artisan commands, naming conventions)
Commands
-
/octobercms:setup- Initial setup -
/octobercms:sync-docs- Manual doc sync -
/octobercms:october-version- Switch versions -
/octobercms:update-settings- Configure sync behavior
GitHub
GitHub - softappstudio/octobercms-claude-plugin
What’s next
This is a foundation. Lots of room to grow - specialized agents for specific tasks, additional knowledge sources, etc.
Would love to hear what would be most useful for your workflow.
