Orryx Knowledge

Primary discovery marketplace for the Orryx Group + collaborative knowledge base.

This repo serves two purposes:

1. Claude Code plugin marketplace at .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — the discovery surface for every cross-cutting plugin used by Triora, Pillarworks, Orryx Brain, Orryx Flow, and the crash-repair-template.
2. Knowledge base for domain expertise, patterns, ADRs, and lessons learned.

---

Quick start

claude /plugin marketplace add orryx-group https://github.com/alexmclaren/orryx-knowledge

# Install a foundation plugin
claude /plugin install foundation/safety-hooks-base@orryx-group

# List installed

See CONTRIBUTING.md for plugin authoring guidance.

Domain-specific plugins (e.g., triora-healthcare-context) live in their owning entity's repo (Clinical_trials/.claude-plugin/) and are referenced from this marketplace via source.url.

Marketplace topology

This is the hybrid topology recommended by the 2026-05-12 architecture audit:

• Single discovery surface: this marketplace.json
• Federated source-of-truth: plugins live in the most appropriate repo (cross-cutting plugins here; domain plugins in their product repo)
• External MCPs (magic-patterns, Sentry, Playwright, VisionCraft): stay direct, not routed through the gateway

See D:\orryx-audit\04-cross-entity-analysis.md for the topology decision rationale.

Knowledge base usage (separate from plugins)

For domain expertise + ADRs + lessons learned, the domain/, patterns/, decisions/, anti-patterns/, lessons-learned/, onboarding/ directories serve their original purpose.

Plugins and the knowledge base coexist — the marketplace is what Claude Code discovers; the knowledge base is what humans + agents read for context.
