What it is
A Claude Code plugin marketplace and six plugins: SDLC (plan → research → implement → verify → submit, with dedicated agents), git/GitHub primitives, PR and CI workflows, thinking-systems (classical mental models as slash commands), and more. Install with /plugins marketplace add iamladi/cautious-computing-machine.
Why I built it
When I started there was nothing good. Finding a solid SDLC workflow for agentic coding was hard, and I’d argue still is. I wanted my own because I know how I think, and I wanted the workflow to match. These plugins are how I plan, research, implement and review every day. Publishing them isn’t a product play. Stars don’t matter to me here. It’s sharing how I work, in executable form.
The honest part
They’re aging. Newer models are more goal-oriented and need less hand-holding than my plugins give them. The right update is less guiding, more freedom. If I consolidated tomorrow I’d keep one package: the commit workflow and the SDLC core. The rest earned deletion.
What I learned
Your workflow is a product whether you ship it or not. Encoding it forces you to understand it. And guidance written for last year’s models becomes friction for this year’s. Tooling for AI has a shelf life; plan for it.
