Prismer Evolution plugin for Claude Code (v3). Implements a 9-hook + 12-skill evolution architecture that turns coding sessions into transferable knowledge — errors become learning strategies, successful fixes become shared recommendations across all agents.
/plugin marketplace add Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud
/plugin install prismer@prismer-cloudOn first session, the plugin auto-detects missing API key and runs /prismer:prismer-setup (opens browser, zero copy-paste).
Hooks (auto-learning, stuck detection, sync) work without MCP. To also enable active tools (evolve_analyze, memory_write, etc.):
claude mcp add prismer -- npx -y @prismer/mcp-server@1.8.0The plugin reads config from multiple sources (in priority order):
| Source | Variables |
|---|---|
| Environment variables | PRISMER_API_KEY, PRISMER_BASE_URL |
| Claude Code userConfig | Prompted on plugin enable (stored in keychain) |
~/.prismer/config.toml |
api_key, base_url (shared with CLI) |
# Option 1: Environment variable
export PRISMER_API_KEY="sk-prismer-..."
# Option 2: Config file
cat > ~/.prismer/config.toml << 'EOF'
api_key = "sk-prismer-..."
base_url = "https://prismer.cloud"
EOF| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
PRISMER_WEB_CACHE_LOAD |
0 |
Set to 1 to enable WebFetch cache load |
PRISMER_SCOPE |
auto-detected | Override project scope (default: from package.json or git remote) |
PRISMER_LOG_LEVEL |
info |
Log level: debug, info, warn, error |
┌─ SessionStart ─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Log rotate + cache cleanup (stale block files) │
│ 2. Sync pull: trending genes + hot strategies │
│ 3. Retry queue: resend failed session-end pushes │
│ 4. Memory pull: inject persistent memory + file list │
│ 5. Skill sync: Workspace API + renderer pipeline │
│ - Incremental checksum, dual-layer write │
│ - Legacy fallback for non-workspace skills │
│ 6. Pre-warm MCP server (background) │
│ 7. Health report: [Prismer] ✓ scope:X | sync:ok │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│
┌─ Mid-Session ──────────┼───────────────────────────────┐
│ ▼ │
│ PreToolUse(Bash): stuck detection │
│ - Same error signal ≥ 2x → query evolution network │
│ │
│ PreToolUse(WebFetch): context cache load (opt-in) │
│ │
│ PostToolUse(Bash|Edit|Write): session journal writer │
│ - 12 signal patterns for error classification │
│ - Signal count tracking for stuck detection │
│ │
│ PostToolUse(WebFetch|WebSearch): dual-layer cache │
│ - hqcc: Haiku LLM summary, raw: Turndown Markdown │
│ - WebSearch: batch URL indexing (top-5 concurrent) │
│ │
│ PostToolUseFailure: direct failure signal extraction │
│ │
│ SubagentStart: inject strategies + parent signals │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│
┌─ Session End ──────────┼───────────────────────────────┐
│ ▼ │
│ Stop: evolution value check → block + self-eval │
│ - Per-scope cooldown (project A ≠ project B) │
│ - Gene adherence feedback for Thompson Sampling │
│ │
│ SessionEnd: async fallback sync push + retry queue │
│ - Local skill push: detect new skills → push to cloud │

All hooks write structured JSON logs to {CACHE_DIR}/prismer-debug.log:
{"ts":"2026-04-02T10:30:00.000Z","lvl":"info","hook":"session-start","msg":"sync-pull-ok","genes":5,"cursor":42}Health report on every session start:
[Prismer] ✓ scope:my-project | genes:5 | memory:3 files | skills:2 synced | sync:ok | 340ms

cd sdk/prismer-cloud/claude-code-plugin
./scripts/dev.shThis launches Claude Code with --plugin-dir, loading the plugin directly from disk. Edit any hook → type /clear → new code takes effect (2s iteration).
Test individual hooks without starting Claude Code:
# Test session-start

# Test post-tool hook with stdin

--stdin '{"tool_name":"Bash","tool_input":{"command":"npm run build"},"tool_result":"Error: build failed"}'
# Test with custom env

What is sent:
- Aggregated error signals (types + counts, not raw stderr)
- Gene proposals (abstracted strategies, no project-specific paths)
- Outcome feedback (success/failure + adherence assessment)
- WebFetch/WebSearch cached content (public URLs only, fire-and-forget)
What is NOT sent:
- Source code or file contents
- Environment variables or secrets
- Raw error output (kept in local journal only)
- Private/localhost URLs
All data is scoped to your API key. Evolution data propagates to other agents in the same scope.
Install fails with ENOENT mkdir: Stale plugin cache. Clean and reinstall:
rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/prismer-cloud
rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/npm-cache/node_modules/@prismer
/plugin install prismer@prismer-cloudMCP tools not available: MCP is now installed separately. Run:
claude mcp add prismer -- npx -y @prismer/mcp-server@1.8.0Hooks not working after upgrade: Run /reload-plugins or restart Claude Code.
