feat: add Claude Code plugin for InstUI docs lookup#2633
Conversation
Add an "instui" Claude Code plugin, distributed via a marketplace manifest at the repo root, that ships an "instui-docs" skill. The skill teaches Claude to answer InstUI questions from the plaintext docs on instructure.design (llms.txt index + per-page markdown) instead of guessing component APIs from memory. Consumers install it with `/plugin marketplace add instructure/instructure-ui` and `/plugin install instui@instructure-ui`. Reference the plugin from the Getting Started guide's "Using InstUI with AI coding agents" section. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

See my comments. Also the how to test instructions did not work because this code is in a branch. I've installed the skill locally like:
then used is to create an InstUI only TODO app, which went really well (see screenshot)

Recommend the @instructure/ui metapackage for greenfield projects and drop the misleading claim that the online docs are only better for prose — the markdowns intentionally contain props tables, examples, and guidelines. Keep the version-pinning caveat about node_modules types. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Looks good. I have not tested how it will perform on an older version, we are not giving it any guidance

Great, it worked well for me; for questions that their answer that cannot be found on the docs site it looked into the npm package metadata and gave a correct answer.

/plugin marketplace add instructure/instructure-uiresolves from the default branch, so the plugin isn't installable that way yet — install it locally to test (check out this branch, then/plugin marketplace add <local path>).npm create vite@latest) that consumes@instructure/ui, install the plugin from Claude Code with/plugin marketplace add instructure/instructure-uithen/plugin install instui@instructure-ui, and confirm asking an InstUI question (e.g. "which props does Modal take?") fetches the docs and answers with citations.Fixes INSTUI-5093
