jig

The AI engineering workflow framework for teams.

Jig is a full-lifecycle development framework that guides AI agents through a structured pipeline — from ticket to post-mortem. Named after the manufacturing tool that holds workpieces and guides tools to produce consistent results, Jig aligns your entire team around shared conventions, quality gates, and development workflows.

Why Jig?

Without a framework, teams end up with scattered AI skills, inconsistent workflows, and no shared conventions. Some engineers brainstorm before coding; others don't. Code review quality varies. Nobody's sure which skills exist or when to use them.

Jig fixes this the way Rails fixed web development: with strong opinions, sensible defaults, and a clear structure that everyone follows.

What You Get

Full Pipeline — Every stage of development has a skill:

DISCOVER → BRAINSTORM → PLAN → EXECUTE → REVIEW → SHIP → LEARN

Parallel Execution — /jig:team-dev spawns parallel agent teammates with staggered quality gates. Your implementation plan runs in parallel, with spec compliance and code review at every step.

Review Swarm — /jig:review dispatches specialist reviewers in parallel (security, dead code, error handling, async safety, performance). Teams add their own domain-specific specialists.

Configurable, Not Rigid — jig.config.md lets you tune the pipeline per work type, define your concerns checklist, choose your ticket system, and set review policies. Override only what you need.

Extensible — Add domain skills (be-database, fe-react), custom specialists (typeorm.md, i18n.md), and team agents. They wire into the framework's discovery system automatically.

Quick Start

Option A: Add to your project settings (recommended)

Add this to your project's .claude/settings.json — every teammate gets Jig automatically on clone:

{
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "jig@duronext-jig": true
  },
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "duronext-jig": {
      "source": {
        "source": "github",
        "repo": "duronext/jig"
      }
    }
  }
}

Commit that file. Done. Every teammate gets the full framework on clone — pipeline skills, review specialists, agents, and an engineering starter pack.

Option B: Install via CLI

If you prefer the interactive approach:

# Add the Jig marketplace (one-time per user)
/plugin marketplace add duronext/jig

# Install for your whole team
/plugin install jig@duronext-jig --scope project

First Use

/jig:init       # Set up your project — guided interview, generates jig.config.md
/jig:kickoff    # Start working on a task — guides you through the full pipeline
/jig:extend     # Add your first team skill

/jig:init auto-detects your git host, branch, and commit conventions, then walks you through five questions to generate your jig.config.md and team directory structure. Type /jig: to see all available commands.

Other Platforms (Gemini, Codex)

Clone the repo and reference the skills directly:

git clone https://github.com/duronext/jig.git .jig

See adapters/ for platform-specific integration guides.

How It Works

Jig ships as a plugin with core skills, agents, and review specialists. Your team adds domain skills in .claude/skills/ that wire into the framework automatically.
