About
plansmith is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by gigagookbob. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-community). We first saw it on 2026-10-11 and have recorded no change since. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-13.
A planning-focused iterative loop plugin for Claude Code. Progresses through structured phases - explore, draft, critique, revise - with validation at each step. Unlike single-pass planning, it forces fundamentally different work at each stage: the explore phase rejects plan headings, the critique phase rejects finalization attempts. This makes it structurally impossible to skip ahead, producing higher-quality implementation plans before writing any code.

Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the public marketplace file https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-community/blob/HEAD/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
