godmode plugin
Engineering discipline for AI coding agents: question the request, verify against current docs instead of memory, plan, build test-first on the cheapest capable model, review with a second model family, prove it before saying done
How to install the godmode plugin
Run both commands inside Claude Code. The first adds the marketplace once; the second installs the plugin.

Claude loads it when the task matches- agent-briefing
Standardizes multi-agent communication through structured briefs, report files, and specific handoff protocols to prevent context loss.
- code-review
Enforces a two-stage review process to verify specification compliance and code quality before committing or merging changes.
- codebase-conventions
Ensures new code matches existing repository patterns by surveying precedents and shadowing their style, error handling, and architecture.
- completion-gate
Enforces a verification protocol that requires fresh evidence before an agent can claim work is finished, fixed, or deployed.
- cross-model-review
Enforces a second opinion from a different AI model family to catch blind spots before code is merged, released, or deployed.
- delegated-execution
Executes complex implementation plans by dispatching independent tasks to fresh subagent implementers and reviewers while maintaining a persistent ledger.
- doctor
Diagnoses the GodMode installation by running a diagnostic script to verify hooks, skill availability, and environment configuration.
- environment-awareness
Enforces a protocol for detecting OS, shell, package managers, and runtimes before executing shell commands to prevent environment mismatches.
- error-recovery
Provides a structured escalation framework for agents to break out of repetitive failure loops and handle debugging stagnation.
- fault-diagnosis
Provides a structured four-phase protocol to reproduce, isolate, and identify the root cause of software failures before implementing a fix.
- grounding
Enforces a protocol for verifying external facts like API interfaces, versions, and prices against primary sources before writing code or documentation.
- inline-execution
Enables an agent to execute a pre-defined implementation plan task-by-task using a test-first approach and a persistent ledger.
- intent-discovery
Converts user requests into approved technical designs and specifications through iterative questioning and structured documentation.
- knowledge-capture
Enables agents to save durable, non-obvious lessons, user preferences, and project conventions into native memory or documentation to persist across sessions.
- merge-protocol
Safely manages the final stage of a development branch by merging, opening pull requests, preserving, or abandoning work after verifying test suites.
- model-routing
Optimizes agentic workflows by assigning specific model tiers and effort levels to different roles to balance cost, performance, and token usage.
- parallel-execution
Enables an agent to solve multiple independent problems concurrently by dispatching focused agents to isolated worktrees.
- performance-tuning
Optimizes code and systems by using a measurement-driven protocol to identify and resolve latency, memory, and bundle size issues.
- project-bootstrap
Scaffolds a professional project foundation including version control, linting, formatting, testing, and CI workflows.
- quality-gates
Enforces project standards by managing linting, type checking, testing, coverage, build, size, dependency audits, complexity, and dead code checks.
- rationale
Evaluates new feature requests by analyzing problems, effort, alternatives, and hidden costs to provide informed decision options.
- reference-first
Ensures design decisions for APIs, schemas, and architectures are based on inspected, cited, and verified external or internal references.
- review-response
Evaluates and responds to technical code review feedback by verifying claims against the codebase before implementing any changes.
- security-protocol
Enforces secure coding practices by validating all external data, using safe APIs for sinks, managing secrets properly, and implementing robust authorization.
- system-design
Provides a structured protocol for selecting architecture, databases, APIs, and hosting based on current requirements and existing infrastructure.
- task-planning
Creates detailed implementation plans with atomic, verifiable tasks for multi-file features, refactors, or migrations.
- team-orchestration
Coordinates multiple autonomous agents in a single session to collaborate on complex tasks through mid-work messaging and shared task lists.
- test-first
Implements a strict red-green-refactor protocol to ensure all code changes are driven by failing tests before production code is written.
- ui-engineering
Builds and modifies frontend components, layouts, and forms using design systems with a focus on accessibility, state management, and responsiveness.
- ui-research
Researches layouts, design tokens, and component patterns to establish a visual foundation before any user interface code is written.
- using-godmode
Enforces engineering discipline by requiring agents to identify and invoke specific specialized skills before performing any action or response.
- workspace-isolation
Creates isolated git worktrees to protect the main checkout and enable parallel agent execution without file conflicts.
- writing-skills
Provides a standardized protocol for creating, testing, and validating agent skills using a baseline failure and verified pass methodology.
