Lobster Ops Plugin

Lobster Ops Plugin

lobster-ops is a Claude Code plugin that bundles 38 /lobster-* slash commands for diagnosing and operating the agent host. Replaces a sprawling collection of one-off scripts and ad-hoc playbooks with a single installable surface.

Install

The plugin is published in the local marketplace alongside this repo. Install once:

Terminal window
claude plugin install lobster-ops@lobster

Skills and scripts symlink-install from the repo, so edits go live immediately. To force a full rebuild, bump version in plugin.json and run claude plugin update lobster-ops@lobster.

Scripts and References

The plugin also ships:

  • 22 ops scripts under plugins/lobster-ops/scripts/ — used by the slash commands and runnable directly.
  • 19 reference docs under plugins/lobster-ops/references/ — diagnostic playbooks, channel runbooks, paths inventory.

Notable Skills

  • /lobster-tool-skip — diagnoses cases where the agent narrated what it would do instead of calling the tool. Surfaces instruction conflicts, prompt-suffix injection, and tool-availability issues.
  • /lobster-heal — full self-heal: gateway, channels, plugins, with guardrails on destructive actions.
  • /lobster-investigate — open-ended root-cause walkthrough that pulls logs, sessions, and config into one view.
  • /lobster-upgrade — runs the full upgrade lifecycle (backup → update → patches → smoke tests → docs refresh).
