What it does
The plugin acts as a designer: it asks what you want to build, picks the stack and writes a detailed plan as markdown files. It does not write the application code itself; its job is to design the system and produce a blueprint that a different Claude Code instance can build from with no prior context and no follow-up questions. Each build step carries EARS acceptance criteria and a verify command. It supports fourteen project shapes, greenfield and brownfield work, with English and Spanish interfaces. Blueprints are written to a blueprints folder in the working directory, not inside the plugin.
Who it is for. For developers and founders who want a thought-out project plan before coding starts.
Good fit when
- You want to design the architecture of a new project from scratch
- You want a detailed plan an agent can build from step by step
- You want to spec a change to an existing codebase with acceptance criteria
Not a fit when
- You want to write code right away rather than design
- The task is small and does not need a plan
Example request
Design the architecture of a SaaS for table reservations with team accounts and paymentsLimitations
The plugin designs and writes the plan but does not implement code: a separate agent instance does the building. It needs Claude Code and has English and Spanish interfaces. The result depends on how precisely you answer the interview.
How to disable. Remove the plugin via /plugin and drop the soyenriquerocha marketplace from the list in Claude Code.
FAQ
Does the plugin write the code?
No. It designs the system and writes a blueprint that a separate Claude Code instance builds from.
Where are blueprints saved?
In a blueprints folder in whatever directory you work from, not inside the plugin.

README in short
The README compares the plugin to an architect who first draws a blueprint. You describe the task, the plugin interviews you, picks the stack and writes self-contained markdown files with EARS acceptance criteria and a verify command per step. A different Claude Code instance then builds from that blueprint without extra questions. Installation is via the marketplace and a plugin command, and cloning the repo also works. It supports fourteen project shapes, greenfield and brownfield, English and Spanish. MIT licensed.
