The problem

AI made you faster. It didn't make you disciplined.

Claude Code can write almost anything. Without a workflow around it, fast just means you reach the bugs sooner.

No plan, just vibes

You paste a vague idea and hope Claude figures it out. Halfway through, the scope has drifted and nobody wrote down what "done" means.

PRs that are a mess

Giant diffs, no review pass, half-finished branches. Every change is a gamble because there's no hygiene around how code actually lands.

Shipping on a prayer

No pre-deploy checks, no handoff, no close-out. You find out it's broken in production — the one place you really didn't want to.

The dev loop

Plan. Build. Ship. On repeat.

Three plugins, one disciplined loop. Each phase hands off cleanly to the next, so every change moves from idea to production the same reliable way.

01

skaild-plan

Turn fuzzy ideas into a plan Claude can execute.

The planning phase of the dev loop. skaild-plan gives Claude Code a disciplined planning workflow — quick plans for small changes and full start-planning runs for real features — so you stop winging it and start shipping against a spec.

02

skaild-build

Build with PR hygiene and worktree discipline.

The build phase of the dev loop. skaild-build drives the actual coding — start-coding, isolated worktree serving, and a tight review-PR / create-PR cycle — so every change lands clean, reviewed, and shippable.

03

skaild-ship

Ship safely with pre-deploy gates and clean handoffs.

The ship phase of the dev loop. skaild-ship adds pre-deploy gates, a light-deploy path, structured handoffs, and a clean close-session ritual — so you stop shipping bugs you skipped the checks on.

What's inside

Every skill, spelled out.

No mystery boxes. Here's exactly what each plugin adds to Claude Code — and which commands you'll be running.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is a Claude Code plugin?
It's a package of skills (custom slash commands and workflows) that Claude Code loads via /plugin marketplace add. skAIld plugins teach Claude a disciplined dev loop — planning, building, and shipping — so your AI pair-programmer follows a real process instead of improvising.
Do I need to know how to code?
You should be comfortable working in Claude Code on a real project. skAIld doesn't replace coding knowledge — it adds structure and guardrails around the AI so the work that lands is reviewable and shippable.
Can I install it without a credit card?
Yes. skaild-start is free forever and installs in about 30 seconds — no card required. It's the on-ramp to the whole loop, and a great way to try the workflow before you buy a paid plugin.
How do the paid plugins reach me?
Paid plugins live in private GitHub repos. When you subscribe, we add your GitHub account as a read-only collaborator automatically, so /plugin marketplace add just works. You'll provide your GitHub username at checkout.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep the copy you've already installed — you paid for it, it's yours. Your subscription is what keeps the weekly updates flowing via /plugin marketplace update, so cancelling just stops the updates and revokes repo access. No drama, no lock-in.
Does it work with Claude Sonnet?
Yes. skAIld plugins are skills and workflows for Claude Code — they work across the Claude models you run in Claude Code, including Sonnet, Haiku, and Opus.
Why is it so cheap?
Because it's a focused set of plugins, not a bloated platform. $4.99/mo per plugin, $9.97/mo for all three, or $99.97/yr annually keeps it a no-brainer — the value is the continuous updates, not a one-time artifact you overpay for.
Is there an annual plan?
Yes. The Complete Bundle is $99.97/yr — about two months free versus paying $9.97/mo. It's the exact same three plugins and the same weekly updates; you just pay once a year instead of monthly. Single plugins stay monthly.
