Defines the vocabulary, NIP-52 event shapes, NIP-72 community model, and lifecycle for a chat-captured + Nostr-stored community organizer spanning the `tracker` maubot plugin (forthcoming) and renderers like inky-impression. Reuses existing standards (RFC 5545 VTODO, NIP-52, NIP-72, ActivityStreams vocab) instead of inventing new event kinds, so other communities can adopt the same shape and renderers interop across implementations. Spec lands before any plugin code so the contract isn't an after-the-fact derivation from the implementation. CLAUDE.md + README now point at the spec as the source of truth for verb/event/tag changes — future sessions update the spec first, not the plugin code.

# CLAUDE.md
|
|
|
|
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
|
|
|
|
## What this repo is
|
|
|
|
Umbrella of plugins for [maubot](https://github.com/maubot/maubot), the
|
|
Matrix bot framework. The maubot daemon itself is provisioned by
|
|
`~/dev/deploy/server-deploy/modules/services/maubot.nix` on the castle
|
|
hosts (currently cfaun). **This repo is the canonical place for
|
|
plugin code; do not edit plugin code from a server-deploy session.**
|
|
|
|
Layout: one subdir per plugin, each containing `maubot.yaml` + the
|
|
Python sources. Built `.mbp` files are gitignored and live next to
|
|
their source dir after `zip -j ../<plugin>.mbp ...`.
|
|
|
|
## Where to find context
|
|
|
|
- **Per-plugin docs:** `<plugin>/README.md` covers commands, schema,
|
|
quirks, etc.
|
|
- **Repo-wide build/upload flow:** root `README.md`.
|
|
- **Community-organizer protocol spec:** `docs/community-organizer-spec.md`
|
|
defines the vocabulary, event shapes (NIP-52 + NIP-72), lifecycle
|
|
states, and tag conventions shared across the `tracker` plugin, the
|
|
`inky-impression` renderer, and any future surface (webapp form, CLI,
|
|
etc.). **Read this before changing any verb behavior, tag shape, or
|
|
event structure** — it's the contract other implementations (and
|
|
other communities) build against. Don't redesign these in plugin code;
|
|
update the spec first.
|
|
- **Maubot patterns and footguns:** `~/dev/CLAUDE.md` under
|
|
"Maubot plugin development" — covers `database_type` semantics,
|
|
`@command.new` vs `@command.passive`, multi-line caveats, etc.
|
|
Read that before adding new plugins or non-trivial command
|
|
handlers; there are several silent-data-loss footguns.
|
|
- **Daemon configuration / nginx / sops secrets:** in
|
|
`~/dev/deploy/server-deploy/modules/services/maubot.nix` and the
|
|
host's `sops.nix` / `secrets.yaml`. Don't edit those from here —
|
|
cross-repo coordination point.
|
|
|
|
## Iteration loop
|
|
|
|
Standard cycle when modifying an existing plugin:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd <plugin>/
|
|
# edit
|
|
$EDITOR journal.py
|
|
# bump version in maubot.yaml so the UI surfaces the new build
|
|
$EDITOR maubot.yaml
|
|
# zip
|
|
rm -f ../<plugin>.mbp
|
|
zip -j ../<plugin>.mbp maubot.yaml *.py
|
|
# upload via maubot UI → Plugins → click existing → upload
|
|
# then click into the instance and hit SAVE (toggling Enabled
|
|
# alone doesn't persist — easy facepalm)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For brand-new plugins, also create the bot's Matrix account first
|
|
(via Continuwuity registration token from the admin room — `!admin
|
|
token issue --once`, then register through Element), add it as a
|
|
Client in the maubot UI, then create an Instance binding the plugin
|
|
to that client. Existing example: `@journalbot:ariege.io` for
|
|
`journal/`.
|
|
|
|
### `maubot.yaml` conventions for new plugins
|
|
|
|
- **`id`: use the `dev.aiolabs.<name>` namespace.** Maubot keys plugins
|
|
by this string in its DB and on disk (`/var/lib/maubot/plugins/
|
|
dev.aiolabs.<name>-v<ver>.mbp`), so it must be globally unique across
|
|
every maubot ecosystem — reverse-DNS is the convention (cf.
|
|
`xyz.maubot.reminder`). Reserving `dev.aiolabs.*` for our plugins
|
|
keeps ids predictable and rename-safe. Changing the id later is a
|
|
fork, not a rename: every existing instance gets orphaned.
|
|
- **`database_type:` if you need storage → `asyncpg`** (or `sqlalchemy`
|
|
for legacy code). That field names the API style, NOT the storage
|
|
backend. `sqlite` or `postgres` there fails at instance start with
|
|
`RuntimeError: Unrecognized database type ...` — the storage backend
|
|
is chosen at the daemon level via `plugin_databases.{sqlite,postgres}`
|
|
in the maubot config and is independent of what the plugin declares.
|
|
|
|
## Commits
|
|
|
|
Direct commits to `main` are the working convention while this stays
|
|
single-maintainer. Conventional-commits style (`feat(<plugin>):`,
|
|
`fix(<plugin>):`, `docs:`). Tag at deploy-ready boundaries if/when
|
|
the repo ever needs publishable releases — for now, the maubot UI
|
|
reads versions from the uploaded `.mbp`, not from git tags.
|
|
|
|
## Pyright noise
|
|
|
|
`maubot` / `mautrix` imports are unresolved in pyright + `.subcommand`
|
|
"unknown attribute" warnings on decorator-extended functions are
|
|
expected — the SDK is heavily dynamic and pyright can't introspect
|
|
the decorators. Ignore these; they don't reflect runtime behavior.
