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.

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

01

Plan

Turn fuzzy ideas into a plan Claude can execute.

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

Build

Build with PR hygiene and worktree discipline.

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

Ship

Ship safely with pre-deploy gates and clean handoffs.

Pre-deploy gates, a light-deploy path, an urgent hotfix cut, and structured handoff / close-session rituals — so you stop shipping bugs you skipped the checks on.

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. The skAIld plugin teaches Claude to plan, build, and ship the way a pro does — 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.
What's included in the Complete Bundle?
Everything skAIld does — the Foundation, Plan, Build, and Ship capabilities — in one Claude Code plugin. It's the whole Plan → Build → Ship loop in a single install and a single subscription. There's just the one product; nothing is sold on its own.
How does the plugin reach me?
The skAIld plugin lives in a private GitHub repo. When you subscribe to the Complete Bundle, 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 is 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. One bundle at $9.97/mo (or $99.97/yr) keeps it a no-brainer — the value is the continuous weekly 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 off versus paying $9.97/mo. It's the exact same plugin and the same weekly updates; you just pay once a year instead of monthly.

Ship with discipline

Give Claude Code a workflow it can’t skip.
