Rationale · 設計取捨

fewer tokens loaded per Claude Code session, on average.

Loading MCP eager-load Skills on-demand
Tokens upfront ~150K tokens ~2K tokens
Cost Always paid Pay only when asked
“Loading all tool definitions upfront and passing intermediate results through the context window slows down agents and increases costs.” Anthropic engineering blog: Code execution with MCP

Install · 安裝

Quick Start

Direct from this repo (recommended)

Clone with submodules to include GlyphsSDK:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/yintzuyuan/glyphs-reference.git

Then point Claude Code at the cloned directory as a local plugin source. Skills are auto-discovered — no manual configuration needed.

Via custom marketplace Coming soon

If you maintain a Claude Code plugin marketplace, you can reference this repo as a submodule under your marketplace's plugins/ directory.

A dedicated public marketplace for this plugin is not yet published; if usage warrants, one may be added later.

Migration · 從 MCP 遷移

Coming from glyphs-info-mcp?

The MCP is in maintenance mode. Three steps to switch:

Remove the MCP entry

Remove the glyphs-info-mcp entry from your claude_desktop_config.json (or unset its activation in your environment).

Install this plugin

Follow the Quick Start above. Same data, ~98% lower token usage via Skills progressive disclosure.

Done — auto-discovered

Skills are picked up automatically by Claude Code. No further configuration needed.
