Claude Code Plugin

In Claude Code, add the marketplace and install the plugin, then restart Claude Code and run /wenlan. A connected status confirms the client can reach Wenlan. If it cannot connect, follow the setup prompts and approve installation only if you want it; setup checks the connection using a read-only MCP call.

The plugin adds Claude Code skills around the local daemon and MCP connector. Its visible commands include /wenlan, /brief, /capture, /recall, and /handoff.

After setup, follow the daily workflow to save a decision, retrieve it in a new conversation, and hand off unfinished work.

The plugin includes a SessionStart hook that checks the local daemon and prompts you to run /wenlan if needed.

Basic local memory does not require a separate language-model download or API key. Optional background language work has its own model settings.

The plugin connects to the daemon rather than keeping a separate library. Use the backup guide to find the data you need to preserve.

MCP-only setup gives clients tools for brief, capture, recall, doctor, and organizing pages. It does not install Claude Code slash skills like /wenlan, /brief, or /handoff.

Use the plugin when Claude Code is your main surface. Use MCP-only setup when you want Wenlan in other clients or when you intentionally want raw MCP tools without the Claude Code workflow layer.
