Introduction

CodeOps is the CodeOps AI-development workflow — 9 skills + 13 slash commands + always-on coding standards — packaged as an installable Claude Code plugin.

Why it exists

CodeOps is ported from the original codeops-mcp server, which was built for Cline. That MCP server existed to load rule documents on demand so the context window wouldn't blow up. Claude Code does that natively via skill progressive disclosure — only each skill's name and description load up front, and the body loads when the skill is actually used. So the MCP machinery is gone and only the knowledge remains.

What you get

• 9 skills — multi-step protocols that Claude runs on request: make_plan, exec_plan, make_requirements, retro_requirements, grill_me, preflight, techdocs, roadmap, and upgrade_plan.
• 13 slash commands — including /gitcm / /gitcmp for Conventional-Commit flows, /analyze_project, /migrate_clinerules, and thin alias commands that delegate to the parent skills.
• Always-on coding standards — a single source of universal coding, testing, and working-style standards, injected into every session by a SessionStart hook with zero setup.

How it fits together

The skills compose into the original CodeOps pipelines, for example:

grill_me → make_requirements → preflight → make_plan → preflight → exec_plan

with roadmap tracking the whole feature-set across its lifecycle and techdocs keeping architecture docs current.
