Vengineer

ShipYard by DylanLi

The AI-native engineering workflow system for Claude Code.

ShipYard by DylanLi is a personal, opinionated system for turning ideas into shipped software with more clarity, better reviews, and cleaner delivery.

At the core is Vengineer: a workflow plugin that helps you move from rough intent to production-ready change through a repeatable path:

• clarify requirements
• sketch and spec a feature
• build an implementation plan
• deepen the plan with research
• execute the work
• review the diff
• commit changes cleanly
• open a structured PR
• capture long-term docs and ADRs

This repository is the source for the ShipYard workflow toolkit and its Claude Code plugin assets.

Core workflow

The current repo is organized around skills-first workflows.

1. Clarify and shape the work

Use these skills when an idea is still fuzzy:

• clarify — ask targeted questions to reduce ambiguity
• light-plan — turn a rough idea into a lightweight sketch
• turn2spec — convert a sketch into a structured feature spec
• medium-plan — produce an implementation plan
• deepen-plan — enrich a plan with parallel research
• arch-flow — orchestrate the full pipeline from sketch → spec → plan → ADR

2. Research before implementation

The plugins/Vengineer/agents/ directory contains focused agents for grounding decisions, including:

• repo analysis
• best-practice research
• framework documentation research
• git history analysis
• spec-flow analysis

Vengineer also ships MCP configuration in plugins/Vengineer/.mcp.json for:

• exa
• deepwiki
• context7

3. Execute the plan

• work — execute a plan with incremental implementation and verification
• git-worktree — create isolated worktrees for parallel development
• ask — explore the codebase with parallel investigation
• get-api-docs — fetch current API documentation before coding against external dependencies

4. Review and finish the change

• review — run a structured, multi-agent code review workflow
• plan_review — review implementation plans before coding
• resolve-todos — work through generated TODOs
• commit-changes — turn a diff into clean, focused commits
• create-pr — draft and open a structured pull request
• pr-summary-cn — generate a concise Chinese PR summary

5. Preserve knowledge

• adr — record architecture decisions in ADR format
• compound-docs — save solved problems as reusable documentation
• batch-issues — decompose a plan into actionable issues
• report-bug-issue — report plugin issues or feature requests

Plugin highlights

Vengineer

The main plugin in plugins/Vengineer is the active workflow toolkit in this repository.

Highlights:

• end-to-end planning and delivery workflow
• reusable skills for planning, implementation, review, commit, and PR creation
• specialized research and review agents
• prompt hook for automatic language-aware responses
• MCP integrations for external research and docs lookup

Vengineer-RCP

plugins/Vengineer-RCP is a smaller legacy/compatibility plugin that still contains:

• command markdown files
• a few review/test helper agents
• shell scripts and hook configuration

Hooks

The Vengineer hook set lives in plugins/Vengineer/hooks/.

The current hook behavior is focused on language context injection:

• detects whether user input is primarily Chinese or English
• adds response-language guidance automatically
• keeps generated code/config artifacts in English

See plugins/Vengineer/hooks/README.md for details and testing notes.
