Quick Start

In 15 minutes you will go through the core Brewcode workflow: from writing a structured specification to capturing your project’s conventions and generating a project-tailored deep review skill.

Before you begin

Make sure Claude Code and the brewcode plugin are installed. If not, follow the instructions in Installation.

Full workflow

Install brewcodeplugin install
Add the plugin from the marketplace and install it into your Claude Code session:
```
claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/kochetkov-ma/claude-brewcode
claude plugin install brewcode@claude-brewcode
```
This step runs once per machine. Reload with /reload-plugins if already inside a session.
Write a specification/brewcode:spec
Describe the task in plain text or point to a requirements file:
```
/brewcode:spec “Implement JWT authorization with role-based access”
```
Or from a file:
```
/brewcode:spec ./docs/requirements/auth.md
```
What happens: the skill launches 5-10 research agents in parallel. They analyze the codebase, locate related code, dependencies, and patterns, then ask clarifying questions (use the -n flag for autonomous mode without questions).
Result: a SPEC.md file — a structured specification with full project context.
Capture project conventions/brewcode:convention
```
/brewcode:convention
```
What happens: parallel agents analyze each architectural layer, extract etalon classes and recurring patterns, and write them into .claude/convention/.
Result: every later agent has a written reference for how this project does things — no more guessing at style or structure.
Generate a deep review skill/brewcode:superreview
```
/brewcode:superreview
```
What happens: analyzes your codebase and conventions, then generates a project-tailored quorum review skill that merges code review and standards checking into one reusable skill installed locally at .claude/skills/.
Result: a custom review skill ready to invoke any time you need a deep, project-aware code review.
Create a domain agent team/brewcode:teams — optional
```
/brewcode:teams
```
Generates 5-20 project-specific agents with self-selection logic and performance tracking. Skip this step if the default agent set is sufficient for your project.
