Currently no workspace in the molecule-dev template installs any of the
four available plugins (browser-automation, ecc, molecule-dev, superpowers).
Agents run without coding guardrails, codebase conventions, or debugging
discipline unless a plugin is installed per-workspace via the runtime
POST /workspaces/:id/plugins endpoint — which isn't happening.
Changes:
1. defaults.plugins: [ecc, molecule-dev, superpowers]
- ecc: "Everything Claude Code" — coding standards, API design,
deep research, security review, TDD workflow, node guardrails
- molecule-dev: project-specific conventions, past bugs, review-loop skill
- superpowers: systematic debugging, TDD, plan writing/execution,
verification-before-completion
All three target runtime claude_code (matches our default).
2. plugins override on Research Lead + its 3 children + UIUX Designer:
[ecc, molecule-dev, superpowers, browser-automation]
- Research agents need live web access for scraping/trending/docs,
which is core to their role.
- UIUX Designer gets Puppeteer via CDP; this may work around the
libglib/X11 gap that breaks Playwright today (#23 — the image-level
fix remains the right long-term solution, but browser-automation
uses puppeteer-core + a Chrome CDP proxy and may bypass the deps
issue entirely).
Note: platform/internal/handlers/org.go:345 treats per-workspace
`plugins:` as a REPLACEMENT of defaults (not a union), which is why
each opt-in workspace re-lists the full set. Documented inline in the
template so future editors don't accidentally drop defaults.
No other roles take browser-automation — Dev Lead, BE, FE, DevOps,
Security, QA, PM all get the default set only. If they need web access
they can install ad-hoc via the runtime plugin API.
