README

jho-claude-kit

My Claude Code toolkit. It has two parts:

  • Craft mode. Always-on coding rules (TDD, KISS, DRY, YAGNI, reuse before writing, tight scope, verified before done), injected into every session and every subagent. Inspired by ponytail.
  • /jira-task. Takes a pasted ticket from plan to reviewed commits. It routes work by cost: Haiku explores and implements test-first, Sonnet is the fallback when Haiku fails, and Opus plans and reviews.

Install

As a plugin. Use this where your Claude Code allows third-party marketplaces:

/plugin marketplace add J-h-o/jho-claude-kit
/plugin install jho-claude-kit@jho-claude-kit

As linked files. Use this where policy only allows the official marketplace, because a plugin from this marketplace would be silently turned off there. Skills and agents are symlinked into ~/.claude, so git pull updates them:

git clone https://github.com/J-h-o/jho-claude-kit.git
node jho-claude-kit/install.js

Use one method, not both. node install.js --uninstall removes exactly what the installer added. It backs up settings.json to settings.json.bak before every change. Requires Node 18 or later.

Use

CommandWhat it does
`/craft lite\full\strict\off`Switch the craft level. Default is full. The level persists across sessions.
/jira-task <pasted ticket>Run the full ticket workflow. Paste the title, description, acceptance criteria and screenshots in the same message.
/jira-task doneEnd the run's guard, so the main session can read and edit files itself again.

The plan groups tasks into waves. Tasks in a wave don't share files or dependencies, and they run in parallel, each in its own git worktree, before being merged back one at a time.

  • Worktrees live next to the repo, in <repo>-worktrees/<KEY>-task-<n>, on branches named <KEY>/task-<n>.
  • They're removed after each wave.
  • node_modules is linked in rather than reinstalled.

During a /jira-task run, a guard hook stops the main session from reading, searching, editing or browsing. Every attempt is refused with a pointer to the right subagent. This keeps tool output out of the expensive main context; subagents are never blocked.

The levels:

  • lite builds what you asked and names a simpler alternative.
  • full enforces every rule.
  • strict also challenges the requirement and re-reviews the diff before reporting done.

The rules live in rules/craft.md. Edit that one file to change them everywhere: the main session, /jira-task, and every subagent.

The active level shows as [CRAFT:FULL] and similar. The plugin pins it under the prompt by itself. The linked-files installer puts it in your statusline instead, unless you already have one; then add it to yours: node "<kit path>/hooks/craft.js" --statusline

Agents

AgentModelJob
scoutHaiku, low effortRead-only search. Returns file:line conclusions, not file dumps.
investigatorSonnet, medium effortReproduces and debugs, including in the browser. Reports the root cause with evidence.
implementerHaiku, high effortOne well-specified task, test-first. Escalates to Sonnet, then Opus.
reviewerOpus, high effortReviews the diff against the acceptance criteria and the craft rules.
