orban-intent-layer is a Claude Code plugin that provides skills to create and maintain a hierarchical Intent Layer for AI-navigable codebases.
About
orban-intent-layer is a Claude Code plugin repository that ships custom skills for setting up and maintaining an Intent Layer—hierarchical, AI-navigable structure over your codebase. developers and small teams use it when agents repeatedly misunderstand module boundaries, duplicate work, or skip critical files because flat tree listings are not enough. The plugin emphasizes engineers’ intent captured in layered files, compatibility with AGENTS.md-oriented workflows, and maintenance as the repo evolves. Treat it as journey-wide infrastructure: valuable during discovery on unfamiliar code, essential while building new areas, helpful during review when intent and implementation diverge, and necessary in operate when refactors change navigation truth. One plugin bundle keeps scope tight compared with a full marketplace. Confidence is moderate because public README detail is thin, but keywords and description clearly center on intent-layer lifecycle for Claude Code.
- Custom Claude Code CLI skills for Intent Layer setup and ongoing maintenance
- Hierarchical, AI-navigable codebase maps aligned with AGENTS.md-style workflows
- Supports senior-engineer-grade navigation context across large monorepos
- Single focused plugin for intent files and structured codebase orientation

What it does
Install Intent Layer when you need Claude Code skills to create and maintain AI-navigable hierarchical intent files across a growing codebase.
Who is it for?
maintainers of medium-to-large repos who already use or want AGENTS.md-style agent guidance and need durable intent metadata.
Skip if: Tiny throwaway scripts or greenfield repos where formal intent layers would be overhead before the first feature ships.
What you get
After installation, you can bootstrap and update Intent Layer files so Claude navigates the codebase like a senior engineer with shared structural context.
- Initialized Intent Layer structure for the repository
- Maintenance workflow for keeping intent files current
- Improved agent navigation context across hierarchical modules
