fivetaku/godmode

This repository is a plugin for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, that tries to solve a common problem: projects that get most of the way finished and then quietly get abandoned. Instead of letting a person decide when a project feels "done enough," this tool defines "done" as a checklist in written documents, and it keeps working through a loop of steps until every item on that checklist passes. The tool is named godmode, playing on an old video game cheat code that makes a character invincible. Once turned on for a project idea, it walks through several stages automatically: an interview to clarify the idea, writing a product requirements document, setting goals, and then running repeated cycles of verifying, reviewing, and improving the work. If progress stalls, it does not just give up. Instead it follows a "recovery ladder," which means it changes its approach and tries again with a more thorough review step. The readme states that early attempts to stop the loop before the checklist is satisfied are caught and sent back into the cycle. Because it works with written documents rather than someone's personal sense of whether something feels finished, the project can be checked step by step rather than relying on subjective judgment. The reviewer that checks the work is swappable. Users can pick a simple self-review mode, a deeper "insane-review" mode, or reviewers built around other tools, described in the readme as codex or gjc. To use it, someone needs Claude Code installed, and it works best alongside two companion plugins from the same author, called show-me-the-prd and goaljaby, which handle parts of the requirements and goal-setting steps. The readme describes godmode as the more colorful and less formal version of an earlier project called insane-loop, reusing the same underlying engine. The license is MIT, and the documentation notes that despite the name, users remain fully responsible for whatever the tool ends up building or shipping.
