10X Developer Unicorn

A Claude Code plugin that encodes the "hidden 80%" of software engineering expertise into 5 specialized agents and 13 composable skills.

What Is This?

Most AI coding tools help with the visible 20% -- writing code, answering syntax questions, generating boilerplate. But experienced developers spend 80% of their effort on skills that are rarely taught: reading code strategically, recognizing cross-domain patterns, estimating with risk awareness, self-reviewing before anyone sees the code, and managing technical debt deliberately.

This plugin encodes those skills into a coordinated agent team that Claude Code uses automatically.

Install

# Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add aj-geddes/unicorn-team

# Install the plugin
claude plugin install unicorn-team@unicorn-team

Done. Claude Code discovers all 13 skills, registers event hooks, and activates the orchestrator.

How It Works

You make a request. The orchestrator analyzes it, routes to the right agent, and enforces quality gates on the result.

The Skills

Agents (Protocol Inlined)

5 specialized agents with protocols inlined in their definitions (agents/*.md), keeping them off the slash command list:

Agent	What It Does
architect	System design, ADRs, API contracts, tradeoff analysis
developer	TDD-first implementation across Python, JS/TS, Go, Rust
qa-security	4-layer code review, STRIDE threat modeling
devops	CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, runbooks
polyglot	Rapid language acquisition, cross-ecosystem pattern transfer

13 Composable Skills

Coordination

Skill	What It Does
orchestrator	Routes tasks, delegates to agents, enforces quality gates

Meta Skills -- The Hidden 80%

Skill	What It Does
self-verification	Systematic pre-commit quality checks (6-step protocol)
code-reading	Strategic codebase comprehension -- entry points, data flow, error paths
pattern-transfer	Recognize problem classes, transfer proven solutions across domains
estimation	Risk-aware PERT estimation with decomposition and confidence levels
technical-debt	Track, classify, and deliberately manage shortcuts and debt
language-learning	5-phase protocol: zero to productive in a new language

Domain Skills

Skill	Coverage
python	Type hints (3.10+), pytest, async, ruff, mypy, poetry
javascript	TypeScript, React, Node.js, Vitest, ESLint
testing	TDD protocol, mocking strategies, coverage, cross-language patterns
security	OWASP Top 10, STRIDE, input validation, secrets management
domain-devops	Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, observability stack

Plus hvs-skill-buddy for skill library auditing and creation.
