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.
Every time you ask Claude to write a Jamdesk page, you end up explaining the same things: which components exist, how docs.json works, what the CLI commands are. This plugin gives Claude Code that knowledge upfront, so you can skip the preamble and get straight to building.
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-marketplace
You 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
One skill (/jamdesk:jamdesk) with a quick-reference hub and three detailed 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 includes all 19 CLI commands, page frontmatter fields, image sizing syntax, writing standards, and common mistakes.
Usage
Run the skill when you're working on Jamdesk docs:
/jamdesk:jamdesk
If your project has a docs.json, Claude may activate the skill automatically.
Common questions (component syntax, CLI commands) get answered directly from the hub. Need full props tables, every config option, or navigation pattern details? Claude pulls in the specific reference file.
Example Prompts
Create a quickstart page with Steps, a CodeGroup for
install commands, and a Warning about prerequisites.
Pairing with CLAUDE.md and MCP
Works best as part of a three-layer setup:
- 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)
- MCP Server — Gives Claude access to your published docs (search, read content, check existing pages)
You don't need all three. The plugin alone is useful. But paired with a CLAUDE.md and MCP connection, Claude can write pages that match your site's voice and link to your existing content without guessing.
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.
