Patterson Corp

Trusted Expertise. Unrivaled Support.

This is the enterprise catalog of the Patterson agent platform. It holds the capability that is true for all of Patterson — engineering standards and brand identity — as two independently installable plugins.

The organizing intent is that an agent working on Patterson code behaves the way a well-oriented Patterson colleague would: aware of the standards that apply, able to cite them, and able to say when a standard does not cover the situation at hand.

• 2plugins, installed independently
• 12skills, every claim traced to a source
• 9capability specifications on record
• 2compliance reviewers you can delegate to

Install it

# inside Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add patterson-agents/patterson-corp
/plugin install patterson-engineering@patterson-corp
/plugin install patterson-brand@patterson-corp

Then use it three ways:

"does this pipeline meet our standards?"        ← skill fires automatically
"drop the Patterson theme into this project"    ← design-tokens installs theme.css
"review this page for brand compliance"         ← delegates to the reviewer subagent

The same catalog is consumed by VS Code and GitHub Copilot, which read the same extraKnownMarketplaces and enabledPlugins keys and defer to the same manifest schema.

Standards that cite themselves

Patterson’s IT standards for delivery, infrastructure, data and operations — each with the ServiceNow record it came from, executable validators, and a compliance-reviewer subagent. Read patterson-engineering

Brand identity as tokens

The palette and each color’s role, Proxima Nova typography, the sentence-case rule, and a drop-in Tailwind v4 and shadcn/ui theme generated from tokens. Read patterson-brand

Specified before it is built

Every substantive change is proposed and specified before any code is written, then folded into the capability specification it satisfies. Read the specifications

Silence is recorded, not filled

Where a Patterson source is silent, the gap is written down and escalated rather than resolved locally. The platform never manufactures policy. Read the provenance

What is underneath

patterson-corp is the enterprise layer of a six-layer model. Lower layers extend it by default and may override it when they know better — divergence is treated as information about where a standard is incomplete, not as a violation to suppress.

Nothing in that model is enforced on a developer machine today. The layer configuration demonstrates the shape of ownership; the enforcement switches are documented and deliberately left off. The six-layer model explains why, and the diagrams show it.

Every page under Plugins, Decisions, Specifications and Governance is generated from a Markdown file in the repository and links back to it. The repository is the source of truth; this site is a reading surface for it.
