## What it does

arn-code turns a feature request into a staged workflow. It creates a specification, plan, and structure, then moves through execution, review, and release preparation. Each stage leaves a Markdown or JSON artifact for the next one to use. The swift, standard, and thorough levels let the process fit anything from a small file change to a cross-cutting refactor.

The plugin includes pipeline skills and specialist agents, plus `arn-code-batch-cve-scan` for vulnerability discovery and triage and `arn-code-batch-cve-fix` for batch remediation. Both can run unattended through Claude Code Routines. Execution stays on the local machine: `git` and `gh` use your existing credentials, while Claude Code handles its own Anthropic API traffic.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install arn-code@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- move a feature from specification to release
- pass structured artifacts between development stages
- review changes before shipping them
- scan a project for CVEs and triage findings
- apply batch fixes for discovered vulnerabilities

## Example prompts
- Take this feature from specification through planning, implementation, review, and release using the `standard` ceremony level.
- Run `arn-code-batch-cve-scan` to find project vulnerabilities and triage the results.
- Use `arn-code-batch-cve-fix` to apply batch fixes through Claude Code Routines.

# Arness Code

Structured, artifact-driven development pipeline for Claude Code. Every feature flows through spec, plan, structure, execute, review, and ship — producing a durable Markdown or JSON artifact at each stage that feeds the next. Three ceremony tiers (swift, standard, thorough) scale process to match scope, from a one-file fix to a cross-cutting refactor. Also includes `arn-code-batch-cve-scan` and `arn-code-batch-cve-fix` for CVE discovery, triage, and batch resolution — safe to run unattended via Claude Code Routines. Ships 37 pipeline skills and 18 specialist agents.

## Privacy

Arness Code runs entirely inside Claude Code on your local machine. The plugin emits no telemetry, collects no usage data, and transmits nothing off-device on its own — all skills and agents operate on files in your working directory. Claude Code (the host harness) handles its own Anthropic API communication; refer to [Anthropic's privacy policy](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy) and [Claude Code's data usage documentation](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/data-usage) for details on how the host processes your prompts and context. Integrations with `git` and the GitHub CLI (`gh`) are invoked locally using your existing credentials — the plugin does not intermediate, store, or forward credentials.
