Core Mantra — Development skill for Claude Code


Core Mantra

A powerful **Claude Code plugin** that layers a compounding outer loop over lifecycle commands, grounded in a strong discipline engine.

It transforms how you work with AI coding agents by making every engineering cycle more effective than the last; enforcing quality, learning from outcomes, and building momentum through structured iteration.

60-second quickstart

/plugin marketplace add C0DERAI/core-mantra
/plugin install core-mantra

Then in any project:

/chant-mantra "add dark mode toggle to settings page"

Core Mantra picks a mode (`lite` / `standard` / `full`), detects the phase (`brainstorm` → `spec` → `plan` → `build` → `review` → `ship`), and runs it — pausing at approval gates.
