easy-tiger

A Claude Code plugin that says "easy, tiger" when you're about to over-build.

You know that thing where you sit down to build a todo app, and somewhere along the way you're like "oh, what if I also added a chat assistant to it? and a pomodoro timer? and habit tracking?" — and three hours later you don't even have a working todo list? That.

easy-tiger is the friend sitting next to you who goes "hey, do you actually need that right now?" before you spend the afternoon on it. It's not a blocker. It's a vibe check.

How it works

When you tell Claude to do something non-trivial, easy-tiger quietly checks: is this on the path to shipping, or a side quest? If it smells like creep, Claude responds in easy-tiger's voice — short, casual — and asks if you really need it. Say yes and it steps aside. Say no and it offers to park it for later.

Trivial stuff (yes, thanks, fix typo) gets skipped, so does anything starting with /, #, or *. Silence is the default.

It figures out what you're shipping from .easy-tiger/goal.md, then a ## Goal section in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, then your git branch + linked issue, then recent commits. If none of those exist it still catches the obvious stuff.

Install

From the marketplace (waiting for approval):

/plugin install easy-tiger

From GitHub:

/plugin marketplace add olapietka/easy-tiger
/plugin install easy-tiger@olapietka/easy-tiger

For local hacking:

git clone https://github.com/olapietka/easy-tiger.git
claude --plugin-dir ./easy-tiger

Use

Just build stuff. That's the whole UX. When easy-tiger spots creep you'll see something like:

Easy, tiger — is the chat assistant a must-have, or a wouldn't-it-be-cool? Get the todo app shipping first, you can always add more later.

Tell it what you're shipping (optional, makes interruptions sharper):

/easy-tiger:goal build a todo app with local storage
/easy-tiger:goal view
/easy-tiger:goal clear

Get a real scope review when you're feeling lost:

/easy-tiger:easy-tiger
/easy-tiger:easy-tiger the chat assistant feature

It reads your goal, your git history, and the conversation, then gives you an honest take on what to keep and what to cut.
