dure

dure

A PM agent that attaches to a single project and leads it — a Claude Code plugin.

dure is named after the dure, a traditional Korean cooperative-labor community. dure attaches to any codebase to act as its expert project PM: it converges requirements through a deep interview → decomposes them into milestones/epics/issues → and tracks progress. The brain is Claude Code.

What it does

1. Deep interview → issue decomposition (v1) — turn a vague one-liner into fixed requirements by interviewing until understanding converges quantitatively, then decompose into milestones/epics/issues. (Local-first source of truth + GitHub sync.)
2. Full audit (later) — scan an existing project for debt, bugs, and structural problems.
3. Strategic planning (later) — self-discover what the project will need next and distill a plan through deep interview + rigorous critique.

Language: committed artifacts (code, docs, identifiers) are English; the runtime interview responds in the user's language. See ADR-0007.

Install

From the plugin marketplace (persists across sessions):

/plugin marketplace add choo121600/dure
/plugin install dure@dure

Or load it directly for a single session (no install):

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/dure

Usage (target shape, v1)

cd ~/any-project
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/dure
> /dure:interview "I want to add refunds to the payments module"
# → dure converges via evidence-grounded questions + red-team critique + candidate answers
# → requirements fixed → .dure/specs/<slug>.md
> /dure:plan        # spec → milestones/epics/issues (.dure/roadmap/)
> /dure:sync        # local → GitHub Issues/Milestones
> /dure:status      # progress tracking / report

Locked decisions

See .dure/spec.md §2 and the records under docs/adr/. Convergence is logged in .dure/interview-log.md; the build plan is in .dure/roadmap.md.

Decision	Value
Identity	Fully independent project (no odin-loop dependency)
Managed targets	Any external codebase
Engine	Claude Code as the brain (v1 in-process plugin; wrapper path kept open)
Interface	Claude Code plugin first (full-screen TUI is a later milestone)
Issue backend	Hybrid — local per-item files (source of truth) + GitHub sync (gh CLI first)
v1 vertical slice	Deep interview → issue decomposition + progress tracking

Install: via the plugin marketplace (/plugin marketplace add choo121600/dure) or --plugin-dir (OQ4 resolved).

Development / local testing

# Load this repo as a plugin for testing
claude --plugin-dir /Users/yeonguk/Project/dure
# Inside the session:
/plugin validate          # validate manifest + frontmatter
/dure:interview "..."      # deep interview
/agents                    # confirm the 3 subagents
/reload-plugins            # pick up edits

Status

🚧 Building M1. E1.1 (plugin scaffold) is complete. E1.2 (deep-interview engine) is in place and validated end-to-end by dogfooding: dure interviewed a real requirement (dure-doctor), the deterministic gate blocked on a failed red-team sign-off, then passed once resolved, and crystallized .dure/specs/dure-doctor.md.

First feature shipped via the engine: dure-doctor — a .dure/ integrity validator (scripts/dure-doctor.py, tests in tests/test_dure_doctor.py, 32 checks green). See .dure/roadmap.md.
