# 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:
```
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

```
/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
