Key point
The MIT-licensed tool transforms high-level ideas into Jira epics, vertical slices, and Cucumber tests, then executes the build and rollout via stacked PRs.
Details
- Open-sourced under the MIT license as 'roost', a Claude Code plugin that automates spec-driven development from initial idea to production release.
- Accepts a single idea, shapes it into an epic with clarifying questions, and stores vertical slices and Cucumber tests in Jira.
- Executes work slice-by-slice using GitHub stacked PRs, preferring TDD and running automated Cucumber tests alongside unstructured exploratory testing.
- Handles multi-repository changes (API and UI) and concludes with a final end-to-end test walkthrough and a paired rollout plan.
- Developed by having Claude Code analyze 2-3 weeks of user sessions to identify workflow patterns, which were then codified into orchestrator and worker skills.
- Current limitations include a hard dependency on Jira and Xray for tracking/testing and the use of
gh stackthroughout the process.
