claudikins-kernel
SRE thinking applied to Claude Code, based on Boris Cherny's Q&A. It enforces a strict 4-stage pipeline with gates between each step. You literally cannot skip verification. You cannot ship without approval.

Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add povvo/claudikins-kernel
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add povvo/claudikins-kernel --skill brain-jam-plan — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/povvo/claudikins-kernelcp -r "claudikins-kernel/skills/brain-jam-plan" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the brain-jam-plan skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add povvo/claudikins-kernel
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.
-
brain-jam-plan
Use when running claudikins-kernel:outline, brainstorming implementation approaches, gathering requirements iteratively, structuring complex technical plans, or facing analysis paralysis with too many options — provides iterative human-in-the-loop planning with explicit checkpoints and trade-off presentation
skills/brain-jam-plan/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
git-workflow
Use when running claudikins-kernel:execute, decomposing plans into tasks, setting up two-stage review, deciding batch sizes, or handling stuck agents — enforces isolation, verification, and human checkpoints; prevents runaway parallelization and context death
skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
shipping-methodology
Use when running claudikins-kernel:ship, preparing PRs, writing changelogs, deciding merge strategy, or handling CI failures — enforces GRFP-style iterative approval, code integrity validation, and human-gated merges
skills/shipping-methodology/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
strict-enforcement
Use when running claudikins-kernel:verify, checking implementation quality, deciding pass/fail verdicts, or enforcing cross-command gates — requires actual evidence of code working, not just passing tests
skills/strict-enforcement/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

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.
