backpressured
Skills for running long unattended AI coding sessions. It will help the agent verify and review its own work using tests, adversarial review, and manual verification through cURL or real browsers. This skill reduces the burden on human review and feedback by making the agent more thorough and self-sufficient.

Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add lucasfcosta/backpressured
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add lucasfcosta/backpressured --skill backpressured-config — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/lucasfcosta/backpressuredcp -r "backpressured/skills/config" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the backpressured-config skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add lucasfcosta/backpressured
Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
backpressured-config
Sets up backpressure for a project — detects its check/run commands, writes or edits a BACKPRESSURE.md, verifies Playwright, and installs the MCP servers the loop uses. Runs ONLY when the user explicitly invokes `/backpressured:config`; never auto-trigger it.

general-code-review
Use when a backpressured code-review subagent is reviewing a diff for correctness/logic, simplicity/reuse, or test-quality defects — everything except type design. The default reviewer dimension.

backpressured
Runs a backpressured automated development loop. Use it ONLY when the user explicitly mentions "backpressured" or "backpressure" — e.g. asking for a "backpressured" loop/run, "do this backpressured", or invoking it by that name — or runs the `/backpressured:goal` command. A bare `/goal`, or any goal-like request that does not mention backpressure, does NOT trigger this loop.

manual-testing
Verifies a feature works by running the real app, not by trusting green tests. Use when a backpressured loop reaches the before-done gate (Phase 3) and needs to confirm new behavior end-to-end — curling live API endpoints and driving a real browser via Playwright — including the cheap unhappy paths, before the task is called done.

plan-review
Reviews implementation plans during iterative backpressured development. Use when a backpressured loop's Phase 1 reviewer subagent is judging whether a lightweight implementation plan's approach/architecture is sound before any code is written — approving it or sending it back with approach-level concerns.

pr-monitoring
Use after a pull request has been opened and the task is not finished until it lands. Triggers on "PR is open", "CI is running", "is it merged yet", a PR that is green but not merged, fresh CI that might still flip, or being tempted to report a task done at PR-open. GitHub / gh CLI based.

running-benchmarks
Use when a backpressured loop needs to run benchmarks on a performance-sensitive project and decide whether a change is a regression, an improvement, or a wash — per-iteration sanity checks and the full pre-done run.
skills/running-benchmarks/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
type-design-review
Use when a backpressured code-review subagent is judging whether a diff uses the type system to make illegal states unrepresentable — i.e. the diff touches data models, function signatures, or domain types. TypeScript-centric, with mappings to Rust, Swift, Kotlin, and Haskell/OCaml.
skills/type-design-review/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
visual-review
Use when a backpressured loop has a front-end/UI change and needs to compare the rendered result against its design reference (a Figma frame or images on a Linear ticket) — catching layout, spacing, contrast, and visual-consistency defects automated tests and happy-path clicking miss.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
