Welcome to SiftCoder, the most comprehensive AI-powered software engineering assistant for Claude Code!

Installation

The easiest way to install SiftCoder is using the plugin command:

/plugin

This auto-detects the plugin in your current directory and installs it.

Your First Command

Let’s build something! Create a simple specification file:

# Task Manager App

## Features
- Create, read, update, delete tasks
- Task categories
- Due dates and priorities
- User authentication

## Tech Stack
- Next.js 14
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Prisma + PostgreSQL

Now run:

/siftcoder:build ./task-app-spec.md

SiftCoder will:

1. Analyze your specification
2. Create a detailed implementation plan
3. Generate all the code
4. Write tests
5. Run quality checks
6. Present the complete application

What Just Happened?

You witnessed the autonomous multi-agent workflow in action:

• Planner Agent: Analyzed the spec and broke it down into features
• Coder Agents: Implemented each feature with tests
• QA Reviewer: Validated the implementation
• QA Fixer: Fixed any issues found
• All automatically, without manual intervention
