What it does
joshsymonds-gambit is a Claude Code plugin that wraps structured development workflows around Claude Code’s native Tasks feature, aimed at solo builders who lose context when every session becomes unstructured improvisation. Instead of jumping straight into code, Gambit nudges you through organized steps—useful when you are building a SaaS feature, an API change, or agent tooling and need the agent to respect task boundaries, checklists, and progression. It lives in Build under project management because the value is execution discipline, not a specific integration. One plugin ships today; expect workflow opinions tuned for individual developers rather than enterprise PM suites. Install the gambit repo as a Claude Code plugin, create or follow Gambit-style tasks for each slice of work, and pair it with your own testing and review habits before Ship. It complements skills like planning or code review but does not replace them.
