@deskwork/core

Core lifecycle library for the deskwork editorial-calendar plugin family. Pure logic with no entry point — config schema, content-tree walker, frontmatter binding, calendar parser, doctor rules, scrapbook resolver, review pipeline.

Audience

This package exists to back the deskwork Claude Code plugins; it is shared between @deskwork/cli and @deskwork/studio. Direct npm install of @deskwork/core into a non-deskwork host is unusual — most adopters install the plugin instead, which npm installs this package on first run.

If you want the editorial calendar lifecycle as a Claude Code plugin (the canonical entry point), follow the install instructions at the marketplace repo.

Use cases for direct install

You may want this package directly if you are:

• Writing a tool that walks deskwork-managed content trees (e.g. a custom doctor rule, a static-site renderer, an analytics script).
• Building a downstream plugin that reuses the calendar parser or frontmatter binding code.
• Embedding deskwork's lifecycle handlers into a non-Claude-Code surface.

Subpath exports

The package exposes ~25 subpath exports (@deskwork/core/calendar, @deskwork/core/frontmatter, @deskwork/core/content-tree, @deskwork/core/doctor, @deskwork/core/review, etc.) — see package.json for the full list.
