Outline-Driven Development (ODIN) — a Claude Code plugin that turns Claude into a structured code agent: diagram-first engineering (five required diagrams before non-trivial implementation), AST-based surgical edits with ast-grep, confidence-driven execution, mandatory investigation before code changes, and atomic Conventional Commits. Ships 89 skills spanning planning, exploration, and TDD/type-driven/proof-driven methodologies. Formerly branded the ODIN Claude Plugin; sibling plugins exist for Codex CLI and Gemini CLI.

Why it matters

Enables Claude to follow outline-driven development patterns, reducing rework by structuring agent decisions around predefined task breakdowns rather than free-form code generation.

Best for

Development teams using agentic AI for larger codebases where explicit task decomposition and structured workflows improve code quality and debugging speed.

Things to check

The README's recommended 'full install script' starts by overwriting ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md with the project's version — back up your global CLAUDE.md first, or run only the marketplace add/install commands. Large surface (89 skills plus agents and commands); the diagram-first workflow adds process overhead on small tasks.
