Jarvis Plugin Reinstall Workflow

You are helping the developer reinstall Jarvis plugins during active development.

Modular Architecture

The plugin is split into 3 independent plugins in the raph-claude-plugins marketplace:

Plugin	Cache Path (relative to config dir)
`jarvis`	`plugins/cache/raph-claude-plugins/jarvis/`
`jarvis-todoist`	`plugins/cache/raph-claude-plugins/jarvis-todoist/`
`jarvis-strategic`	`plugins/cache/raph-claude-plugins/jarvis-strategic/`

Workflow

Step 0: Detect Claude Config Directory

CRITICAL: Never assume ~/.claude/ - the config directory location varies by installation.

Run this detection script:

bash

# Method 1: Check CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable
if [ -n "$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR" ]; then
  DETECTED_DIR="$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR"
  echo "Found CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR: $DETECTED_DIR"
# Method 2: Check current session's auto-memory location
elif [ -d "$(pwd)/.claude/projects" ]; then
  DETECTED_DIR="$(cd $(pwd)/.claude && pwd | sed 's|/projects/.*||')"
  echo "Detected from current session: $DETECTED_DIR"
# Method 3: Search common locations for active projects directory
elif [ -d ~/.claude-personal/projects ] && [ "$(ls -A ~/.claude-personal/projects 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
  DETECTED_DIR=~/.claude-personal
  echo "Found active config at: $DETECTED_DIR"
elif [ -d ~/.claude/projects ] && [ "$(ls -A ~/.claude/projects 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
  DETECTED_DIR=~/.claude
  echo "Found active config at: $DETECTED_DIR"
else
  DETECTED_DIR=~/.claude
  echo "No config detected, defaulting to: $DETECTED_DIR"
fi

# Verify it looks like a Claude config directory
if [ ! -d "$DETECTED_DIR/plugins" ]; then
  echo "WARNING: $DETECTED_DIR/plugins not found - may not be correct config directory"
  echo "Please verify manually with: ls -la ~/ | grep claude"
fi

echo ""
echo "Using Claude config directory: $DETECTED_DIR"

Store the detected directory for use in subsequent steps.

Step 1: Clear Cache (Optional - only with 'clean' argument)

Default behavior (/reinstall): Skip cache deletion - faster reinstall, preserves old versions for rollback.

Clean mode (/reinstall clean): Delete all cached plugin versions.

bash

# Only run this if user called '/reinstall clean'
if [ "$1" = "clean" ]; then
  echo "Cleaning plugin cache..."
  rm -rf "$DETECTED_DIR/plugins/cache/raph-claude-plugins/"*
  echo "Cache cleared."
else
  echo "Skipping cache clear (use '/reinstall clean' to force clean)."
fi

Step 2: Reinstall All Plugins

bash

claude plugin marketplace update && \
claude plugin uninstall jarvis@raph-claude-plugins 2>/dev/null; \
claude plugin uninstall jarvis-todoist@raph-claude-plugins 2>/dev/null; \
claude plugin uninstall jarvis-strategic@raph-claude-plugins 2>/dev/null; \
claude plugin install jarvis@raph-claude-plugins && \
claude plugin install jarvis-todoist@raph-claude-plugins && \
claude plugin install jarvis-strategic@raph-claude-plugins

Step 3: Verify Installation

bash

echo ""
echo "Installed plugins:"
claude plugin list | grep -E "jarvis|todoist|strategic"
echo ""
echo "Active cache directory: $DETECTED_DIR/plugins/cache/raph-claude-plugins/"
ls -la "$DETECTED_DIR/plugins/cache/raph-claude-plugins/"

Step 4: Remind User to Restart

IMPORTANT: Plugin changes only take effect after a full restart of Claude Code, not just a reload.

Inform the user:

code

Plugins reinstalled successfully

Config directory: [show detected directory]

RESTART REQUIRED
Plugin changes will only take effect after you restart Claude Code.

- macOS: Cmd+Q to quit, then reopen
- Linux/Windows: Close and reopen the application

Usage

code

/reinstall           # Reinstall all 3 plugins (preserve cache)
/reinstall clean     # Reinstall all 3 plugins (delete cache first)

Rationale

Why preserve cache by default?

•Faster: Skips deletion of potentially large directories
•Safer: Old versions remain available for comparison/rollback
•Cleaner: Cache naturally gets pruned by Claude over time

When to use clean mode?

•Testing plugin loading from scratch
•Debugging cache corruption
•Verifying packaging issues
•After major version changes

Notes

•This skill is for development only (not included in the plugin distribution)
•Never skip the restart reminder - users often forget this step
•All 3 plugins are reinstalled together to ensure consistency
•Config directory detection runs fresh each time to handle multiple Claude installations
