Maister

Structured, standards-aware development workflows for Claude Code

Describe what you want to build, and the plugin handles the rest - from specification through implementation to verification - while enforcing your project's coding standards at every step.

What You Get

- Guided workflows for features, bug fixes, enhancements, performance, migrations, research, and product design
- Auto-discovered standards from your codebase - config files, source patterns, and documentation are analyzed and enforced throughout every workflow
- Test-driven implementation with automated planning, incremental verification, and full test suite runs before completion
- Pause and resume any workflow - state is preserved across sessions
- Production readiness checks including code review, reality assessment, and pragmatic over-engineering detection

Getting Started

Prerequisites

- Claude Code CLI installed and configured
- Node.js 20 or newer for HTML mockups (optional — without it, mockups fall back to ASCII)

Installation

After installing, restart Claude Code (/exit and relaunch) to ensure the plugin is fully loaded.

On GitHub Copilot CLI, install the maister-copilot variant with copilot plugin install — from a registered marketplace (copilot plugin marketplace add SkillPanel/maister, then copilot plugin install maister-copilot@maister-plugins) or straight from the repository subdirectory (copilot plugin install SkillPanel/maister:plugins/maister-copilot). To run a local checkout instead, load it with copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/maister/plugins/maister-copilot; add --add-dir for the same path when the checkout sits outside your working directory, which grants file access to it. --add-dir on its own does not load a plugin. Then export MAISTER_PLUGIN_ROOT as the variant's…
