dev-kit

A Claude Code plugin bundling poteto's agent-style engineering skill suite: concise but detailed responses, deliberate subagent use, unslopped prose, simple code, and verified work.

poteto-mode is the hub skill. It routes to a constellation of leaf skills (how, why, architect, interrogate, unslop, tdd, ...) and 19 principle-* skills. This repo bundles the whole suite so it works standalone, packaged as the dev-kit plugin.

Created by Lauren Tan. The poteto-mode hub is MIT (see skills/poteto-mode/LICENSE and root LICENSE). The sibling skills ship without their own license files upstream; they are redistributed here as a convenience — credit stays with the original author. The dev-kit packaging only wraps these skills; it does not alter their authorship.

Install

As a plugin (recommended):

claude plugin marketplace add ennioferreirab/poteto-mode
claude plugin install dev-kit

Or copy the skills directly:

git clone https://github.com/ennioferreirab/poteto-mode.git
cp -R poteto-mode/skills/*  ~/.claude/skills/
cp -R poteto-mode/agents/*  ~/.claude/agents/

Invoke with /poteto-mode, or ask Claude to work "in poteto's style".

Not bundled (external references)

The suite mentions a few skills that live outside it and are not included:

• control-cli, control-ui, babysit — from the upstream cursor-team-kit plugin. The skill text already falls back gracefully (drive the surface yourself / use /loop).
• skill-creator — official Anthropic plugin.
• databricks-use-dbt-models — an environment-specific reference cited as an example.

Install those separately only if you want the exact upstream behavior.
