velo

An engineering team for Claude Code.

velo is a Claude Code plugin that turns a brief into shipped code through a gated pipeline. An Engineering Manager coordinates a team of specialist engineers — product, architecture, build, and review — and you approve the work at every gate.

You direct it; you don't babysit it. Work only moves forward when you say so, and nothing reaches a commit without your sign-off.

  • 6 specialist roles
  • 5 approval gates
  • 4 commands
  • 1 engineering manager

Pipeline

Every feature runs the same five gated stages. You sign off at each one.

  1. 01 PRD The Product Manager turns the ask into a reviewable spec.
  2. 02 Design The Tech Lead writes the engineering design and owns the trade-offs.
  3. 03 Build Frontend, backend, and specialist engineers implement in parallel.
  4. 04 Review Adversarial review and verification before anything lands.
  5. 05 Commit Nothing ships without your explicit sign-off.

Workforce

One Engineering Manager coordinating six specialist roles.

  • Engineering Manager Orchestrates the run and holds every gate.
  • Product Manager Scopes the work into a reviewable spec.
  • Tech Lead Owns architecture and technical trade-offs.
  • Specialists Security, database, and infra engineers go deep where it matters.
  • Builders Frontend and backend engineers, working in parallel.
  • Reviewers Adversarial review and verification before commit.

Commands

Four commands are the whole interface.

  • /velo new Start net-new work. Mandates planning before any code is written.
  • /velo task Hand the Engineering Manager a task; it delegates to the team.
  • /velo yo Open discussion. Get advice before you decide to build.
  • /velo hunt Structured debug loop: symptom → hypothesis → root cause → handoff.
