Nikeyes Stepwise Dev

Stepwise Dev is a Claude Code plugin bundle that runs a structured dev workflow—research, planning, multi-agent implementation, validation, and git commits—across four plugins.

About

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 developers get a mini software methodology inside Claude Code. For developers 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.

  • 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

What it does

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.

Who is it for?

Best when you want planning, web research, parallel agents, and commit discipline packaged as one Claude Code workflow.

Skip if: Skip if you only need a single MCP search tool or and avoid multi-plugin orchestration and formal validation gates.

What you get

After registering the four plugins, you can walk Claude Code through stepwise research, planning, validation, and git-backed implementation with clearer handoffs between phases.

  • Four registered Stepwise Dev plugins coordinating one workflow
  • Phase artifacts from research and planning through validation and version-controlled commits

By the numbers

  • Plugin bundle count: 4
  • GitHub stars (ingested): 16

How it compares

Four-plugin dev workflow orchestration, not a single integration skill or passive documentation-only pack.
