Solutions Engineering Plugins

Plugins for solutions engineers — patterns, anti-patterns, and structured artifacts for the moments where SE work compounds. Built for Claude Cowork, also compatible with Claude Code.

What ships

solutions-engineering v0.1.0 — one skill so far:

Skill	What it does
eval-planning	Drafts an evaluation plan a sponsor signs onto before kickoff: business decision, binary success criteria, scope guardrails, stakeholders, validation environment, timeline. Pressure-tested against four ways evals quietly fail. Triggers on phrasing like "draft an eval plan", "POV plan", "evaluation brief", "how should I scope this POC".

More skills will land incrementally.

Why

Solutions engineering rewards two things: deep fluency in front of a prospect, and reliable execution between calls. Most of what an SE produces — discovery briefs, demo storyboards, POC plans, battlecards, proposal sections, call recaps — is structured prose written under time pressure. This plugin gives Claude a strong starting point for that work, beginning with the highest-stakes artifact in the funnel: the evaluation plan.

Getting Started

claude plugin marketplace add nmelo/solutions-engineering-plugins
claude plugin install solutions-engineering@solutions-engineering-plugins

Once installed, the skill fires automatically when relevant.

Layout

solutions-engineering/
├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json
└── skills/
    └── eval-planning/
        ├── SKILL.md             # Triggers and instructions

            ├── anti-patterns.md
            └── planning-meeting.md

Each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md (always-loaded) and optional references/ (loaded on demand). Everything is markdown — no build step.

Making it yours

• Company context — drop your product narrative, competitor list, and process specifics into the skill's references/.
• Workflows — modify SKILL.md to match how your team runs evaluation planning.

MCP connectors and shipped persona agents land in future versions.
