Nikeyes Stepwise Dev
Stepwise Dev is a Claude Code plugin bundle for the Build phase that runs a structured dev workflow—research, planning, multi-agent implementation, validation, and git commits—across four plugins.
by nikeyes · github.com/nikeyes/stepwise-dev
Install Stepwise Dev when you want a structured Claude Code pipeline—research, planning, parallel implementation thoughts, validation, and git-aware commits—spread across four companion plugins.
Add it to Claude Code
Install the plugin in Claude Code. One command, paste-ready.
/plugin install nikeyes-stepwise-dev@nikeyes/stepwise-devBuilt to be called by your agent
Skillselion is itself an MCP server. Your agent can pull this entry and a paste-ready install config straight from the API - no copy-paste.
Retrieve this entry with skillselion.get_details("plugin:nikeyes/stepwise-dev") and the paste-ready config with skillselion.get_install_config("plugin:nikeyes/stepwise-dev").
What it does
Stepwise Dev is a Claude Code plugin family from nikeyes/stepwise-dev that treats agent-assisted coding as a sequence of deliberate steps instead of one-shot generation. The catalog lists four plugins and keywords spanning structured planning, external research with attribution, multi-agent parallel work, implementation management, validation passes, and git commits—signals that solo builders get a mini software methodology inside Claude Code. For indie hackers shipping SaaS or APIs, it addresses context drift: each phase is supposed to carry forward thoughts, citations, and decisions so you are not re-deriving requirements mid-implementation. It pairs naturally with Validate-minded scope checks and Ship-minded review because explicit validation and commit language is baked into the marketing keywords. You still choose the architecture; Stepwise Dev supplies the rails. Expect intermediate setup across multiple plugin entry points compared with a single-hook utility, but the payoff is reproducible sessions that end in version-controlled output rather than orphaned diffs.
Highlights
- Four-plugin bundle for structured Claude Code development
- Stepwise flow: research, planning, implement, validate, and commit
- Multi-agent and parallel orchestration for heavier tasks
- Web search and citation-style research capabilities in the workflow
- Git and version-control aware implementation and validation steps
Why builders use it
Unstructured Claude Code sessions dump research, plans, and code into one thread so solo builders lose traceability before they commit.
After registering the four plugins, you can walk Claude Code through stepwise research, planning, validation, and git-backed implementation with clearer handoffs between phases.
