A Claude Code plugin that enforces **intent engineering**: software — and the experience around it — that behaves the way a reasonable developer or user already expects. It guards against *surprise* on both sides: hidden side effects and reinvented conventions in the **code**, and broken flows, weak interaction states, or dark patterns in the **UX**. It applies a set of well-established design principles — plus framework architecture analysis across six stacks (Rails, Python/FastAPI, Laravel, Express, Phoenix, React) — as review **lenses** that fan out as parallel agents and return scored, deduplicated findings with concrete fixes.

**What / Why / How (plain language)**

**What:** A toolkit you run against a plan, a pull request, your local changes, or a whole codebase. It checks whether the work follows time-tested principles of "least surprise" — does the code/UI behave the way people expect, follow conventions, stay simple, and feel coherent?

**Why:** Surprising software is expensive. Hidden side effects, reinvented conventions, needless complexity, and inconsistent UX cost reviewers, users, and future maintainers time. Most of it is caught late (in review) or never. This plugin makes the principles checkable and repeatable.

**How:** A small set of lenses (each grounded in a researched principle) run as parallel agents.
