# IRC Bot Plugins Implementation Plan > **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. **Goal:** Build two functionally-identical IRC bot plugins (Sopel and Limnoria) that query the NtR SoundCloud Fetcher API. **Architecture:** Fully independent plugins, no shared code. Each plugin has its own API client (`urllib.request`), formatting functions, and admin-nick check. Sopel is a single-file plugin; Limnoria is a four-file package. Both produce identical IRC output. **Tech Stack:** Python 3.11+ stdlib only (`urllib.request`, `json`, `re`). Sopel 7.0+ API. Limnoria 2025.07.18+ API. pytest for helper tests. **Design doc:** `docs/plans/2026-03-12-irc-plugins-design.md` **API reference:** `docs/api.md` --- ### Task 1: Sopel Plugin — Complete Implementation **Files:** - Create: `plugins/sopel/ntr_playlist.py` **Step 1: Create the plugin file** Create `plugins/sopel/ntr_playlist.py` with the full contents below.

We test the logic once using the Sopel plugin's module (it's a plain Python file with no import-time side effects from Sopel beyond the decorators, which we can handle). Since importing the Sopel plugin requires `sopel` to be installed (due to top-level imports), we write standalone tests that duplicate the pure functions. This avoids adding `sopel` or `limnoria` as test dependencies for the main project. **Files:** - Create: `tests/test_plugin_helpers.py` **Step 1: Write the tests** ```python """Tests for IRC plugin helper functions (formatting, admin check, API errors). These test the pure logic shared across both Sopel and Limnoria plugins. The functions are duplicated here to avoid importing framework-dependent modules.
