IGOR is a plugin for Claude Code that gives your coding agent a personality, inspired by the six distinct musical eras of the artist Tyler, the Creator. Instead of one fixed tone, you can switch between six registers depending on what kind of feedback you want. The default IGOR mode is terse and obsessive, focused only on the bug in front of you. Other modes range from a gentler, softer version for late night coding, to a zoomed out architecture focused mode, to a ship it fast mode, to one that pushes back on work that feels too safe. A sixth mode called GOBLIN is much harsher and is turned off by default, requiring you to confirm you actually want it with an extra flag. Underneath the personality, the plugin provides three real commands. One reviews a code diff against an actual rubric, checking things like swallowed errors, magic numbers, inconsistent spacing, and unagreed type scales, with a line number and a fix for each issue found, plus credit for what was done well. Another writes commit messages that keep a valid, boring subject line for tools that parse it, while allowing more personality in the body text. A third critiques a design, whether that is a screenshot, a component, or a live URL, asking whether real decisions were made and pointing to specific numbers. The project has no dependencies. It is built entirely from markdown and bash, using Claude Code's output style system so the persona applies automatically whenever the plugin is enabled, and a hook that injects the currently selected era into each turn. The author is explicit that even in the harshest mode, the tool criticizes the work, never the person, and that this boundary is enforced in code rather than left as a prompt suggestion.
