East Execution Engine (e3) - durable dataflow execution for East programs. Use when: (1) Authoring e3 packages with @elaraai/e3 (e3.input, e3.task, e3.package, e3.export), (2) Running e3 CLI commands (e3 init, e3 start, e3 watch, e3 get, e3 set), (3) Working with workspaces and packages, (4) Content-addressable caching and dataflow execution.
/plugin marketplace add elaraai/east-plugin/plugin install east@elaraaiThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
e3 is a durable dataflow execution engine for East programs with content-addressable caching.
// src/index.ts
import { East, StringType } from '@elaraai/east';
import e3 from '@elaraai/e3';
// Define an input
const name = e3.input('name', StringType, 'World');
// Define a task
const greet = e3.task(
'greet',
[name],
East.function([StringType], StringType, ($, n) =>
East.str`Hello, ${n}!`
)
);
// Bundle and export
const pkg = e3.package('hello', '1.0.0', greet);
await e3.export(pkg, '/tmp/hello.zip');
export default pkg;
# Initialize repository
e3 init .
# Import and deploy
e3 package import . /tmp/hello.zip
e3 workspace create . dev
e3 workspace deploy . dev hello@1.0.0
# Execute dataflow
e3 start . dev
# Get result
e3 get . dev.tasks.greet.output
Define an input dataset at .inputs.${name}.
const name = e3.input('name', StringType, 'default');
const count = e3.input('count', IntegerType);
Define a task that runs an East function.
const greet = e3.task(
'greet',
[name], // dependencies (inputs or other task outputs)
East.function([StringType], StringType, ($, n) =>
East.str`Hello, ${n}!`
)
);
// With custom runner
const pyTask = e3.task(
'py_task',
[input],
East.function([IntegerType], IntegerType, ($, x) => x.multiply(2n)),
{ runner: ['uv', 'run', 'east-py', 'run', '-p', 'east-py-std'] }
);
// Chain tasks via .output
const shout = e3.task(
'shout',
[greet.output],
East.function([StringType], StringType, ($, s) => s.toUpperCase())
);
Define a task that runs a shell command.
const process = e3.customTask(
'process',
[rawData],
StringType,
($, input_paths, output_path) =>
East.str`python script.py -i ${input_paths.get(0n)} -o ${output_path}`
);
Bundle into a package. Dependencies are collected automatically.
const pkg = e3.package('myapp', '1.0.0', finalTask);
Export package to a .zip file.
await e3.export(pkg, '/tmp/myapp.zip');

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
