Why we rebranded, what Sigistry means, the one command existing users need to run, and where the registry goes next. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/verified-registry-beats-a-bigger-one https://sigistry.com/blog/verified-registry-beats-a-bigger-one The Claude Code skill ecosystem is exploding into the thousands across competing directories. In the same weeks, Anthropic hardened Claude Code against skills that shadow your commands. Here is why curation with evidence, not raw volume, is the number that matters. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/whats-new-claude-code-august-2026 https://sigistry.com/blog/whats-new-claude-code-august-2026 The August 2026 Claude Code releases in one place, filtered for plugin authors and power users: GitLab marketplace support, cross-session messaging, fork mode by default, credential redaction, the /design preview, and what each one changes for how you build. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Sat, 22 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/get-your-claude-code-plugin-verified https://sigistry.com/blog/get-your-claude-code-plugin-verified A practical walkthrough of earning the Verified by Sigistry badge: run the free browser checker against your repo, fix the common failures, pick a verification tier, and ship a badge that agents and users can actually trust. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/first-community-plugin-verification-tiers https://sigistry.com/blog/first-community-plugin-verification-tiers search-visibility-kit is the first community plugin in the catalog, reviewed under the published methodology.

Almost nobody checks them. We built a public, seven-check verification methodology, ran it on our own catalog, and it immediately failed 5 of 16 plugins. Here's what Verified by Sigistry means, and how to earn the badge. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Tue, 04 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/mcp-server-smith-scaffold-audit-harden https://sigistry.com/blog/mcp-server-smith-scaffold-audit-harden A new plugin that treats your MCP server as both a protocol artifact and an attack surface: it scaffolds a spec-shaped server, scores an existing one against the stateless core and OAuth model, migrates it off HTTP+SSE, and catches confused-deputy and injection risks, all statically. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Sun, 02 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/posttooluse-hooks-rewrite-tool-output-guide https://sigistry.com/blog/posttooluse-hooks-rewrite-tool-output-guide Claude Code's PostToolUse hooks can now replace what the model sees as a tool's output, for every tool, not just MCP. Here's how updatedToolOutput works, with copy-paste examples for redacting secrets, compressing noisy output, and normalizing results. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/mcp-2026-07-28-stateless-core-oauth https://sigistry.com/blog/mcp-2026-07-28-stateless-core-oauth The biggest Model Context Protocol revision yet is rolling out across Claude. Here's what the stateless core, the OAuth 2.1 / OIDC alignment, and the new versioned extensions mean for anyone running an MCP server, and what breaks if you ignore them. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/four-new-plugins-and-public-mcp-server https://sigistry.com/blog/four-new-plugins-and-public-mcp-server Four new plugins for accessibility, API contracts, LLM apps, and repo onboarding, plus a public read-only MCP server so agents can browse the catalog. noreply@sigistry.com (Sigistry Team) Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://sigistry.com/blog/agent-navigable-directory-webmcp-mcp-2026 https://sigistry.com/blog/agent-navigable-directory-webmcp-mcp-2026 Three different technologies get called 'AI robots browsing your site' - and they point in opposite directions.
