Claude Moodle Dev

moodle-dev
The most complete Moodle development toolkit for AI coding assistants — skills, slash commands, and subagents that turn your assistant into a Moodle expert.
Native plugin for Claude Code; ships with adapters for Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Aider, Continue, and a paste-anywhere bundle.

Scaffolds plugins, writes XMLDB upgrades, audits privacy/security, generates PHPUnit + Behat tests, builds AMD modules, reviews PRs — all following official Moodle coding standards (PSR-4, frankenstyle, MOODLE_INTERNAL, GPL headers, get_string, $DB).
🔌 Companion MCP server: moodle-mcp — live moodledev.io documentation search inside Claude Desktop / Code, Cursor, Continue, Cline. pipx install moodle-mcp.

Why this plugin

Claude already knows PHP. It does not know:
- Moodle's frankenstyle conventions (local_, mod_, block_, ...)
- XMLDB editor workflow + upgrade_plugin_savepoint rules
- Privacy API contracts (null_provider vs request\plugin\provider)
- Capability + sesskey + require_login security pattern
- Moodle 4.4+ Hooks API vs legacy lib.php callbacks
- pluginfile.php file-serving callback
- Behat + PHPUnit Moodle harness (resetAfterTest, generators, tags)
- AMD/RequireJS + grunt build
- Mobile app remote templates + get_remote_addons

This plugin teaches Claude all of it. Auto-activates when Claude detects Moodle work.
