8-Habit AI Dev

Important

Anti-Vibe-Coding plugin for Claude Code. A 7-step workflow discipline and 8-Habit cross-verification framework that replaces ad-hoc AI prompting with structured, reviewable, governable development.

"ทำเสร็จ ≠ ทำดี" — Done is not Done well.

Why This Exists

AI-assisted coding is fast but often undisciplined: missing requirements, skipped reviews, no rollback plans, accumulating tech debt. This plugin enforces the habits that separate effective developers from vibe coders — based on Stephen Covey's 7 Habits + The 8th Habit, adapted for the AI era.

At a Glance

17 skills	7 workflow + 5 assessment + 2 meta + 2 compliance + 1 orchestrator
8 Habits	Covey's 7 + The 8th, adapted for AI-assisted development
9 ADRs	Every non-trivial decision documented
4 maturity levels	Dependence → Independence → Interdependence → Significance
Zero dependencies	Pure markdown — no npm, no build step
EU AI Act ready	First Claude Code plugin with compliance toolkit
External review	Scored 9.5/10 (EXCELLENT) on first formal audit

Green = optional entry point · Pink = human checkpoint required · Orange = never skip

Step	Command	Habit	Purpose
0	/research	H5	Investigate before specifying
1	/requirements	H2	Define what, why, who
2	/design	H8	Architecture decisions (human-led)
3	/breakdown	H3	Atomic tasks, no scope creep
4	/build-brief	H5	Context before coding
5	/review-ai	H4	Audit before commit
6	/deploy-guide	H1	Staging first, rollback ready
7	/monitor-setup	H7	Observe after deploy

Beyond the Workflow

Assessment — run at any point for deeper analysis:

Skill	Purpose
/cross-verify	17-question 8-Habit checklist
/whole-person-check	Body/Mind/Heart/Spirit balance
/security-check	OWASP Top 10 focused review
/reflect	Post-task retrospective with lesson persistence
/workflow	Interactive guided walkthrough

Meta & Onboarding — learn and adapt:

Skill	Purpose
/using-8-habits	Onboarding decision tree — which skill when?
/calibrate	Self-assess maturity, adapt guidance verbosity

Compliance & Audit — governance and transparency:

Skill	Purpose
/eu-ai-act-check	EU AI Act 9-obligation checklist (Articles 9-15)
/ai-dev-log	AI-assisted development log from git history

Principles

Note

Skills are read-only guidance — they tell Claude how to approach a task. They never edit files themselves.

• Human-in-the-loop for architecture and irreversible decisions
• Zero dependencies: pure markdown + bash validation
• PR-first: every change goes through review, even documentation
• Complementary: pairs with claude-governance for enforcement + compliance
