What it does
missingpackage-gitgud is a Claude Code community plugin that treats keeping your own coding sharp as a product problem, not a guilt trip. In a workflow where agents draft most scaffolding, solo builders still need fast reading, debugging, and API fluency when models slip or domains get niche. Gitgud frames that upkeep as achievements, challenges, streaks, and hook-driven reminders—manual practice when you choose it and periodic nudges when you forget. It spans the journey: validate spikes, ship reviews, build planning, and operate iterations all benefit from maintained skill, which is why it is tagged journey-wide with a Ship review shelf for first discovery. It is not a linter or test runner; it is a training layer around how you work with Claude Code. Install when you notice you approve diffs you no longer fully understand. Skip it if you only want automation with no personal practice loop.
