How do I see the reasoning behind a code choice?

You can use the /why command to get an explanation of the most recent decision, or use specific variants like /why stack and /why architecture for high-level overviews.

What development modes are available?

Craft-Coder offers three modes: Learning Mode for detailed explanations, Fast Mode for minimal dialogue, and Balanced Mode for a mix of speed and understanding.

Does Craft-Coder support Test-Driven Development?

Yes, it includes specialized modules for TDD that follow the red-green-refactor cycle and help avoid common testing anti-patterns.

Where are architectural decisions stored?

All key decisions are automatically logged in ADR (Architectural Decision Record) format within the docs/DECISIONS.md file of your project repository.

What is the difference between craft-coder and vibe-coder?

Vibe-coder focuses on 'magic' generation and speed for MVPs, while craft-coder emphasizes architectural understanding, dialogue, and explaining the 'why' behind every decision to ensure long-term maintainability.

Aprendizaje y Documentación

Provides comprehensive guidance, command documentation, and architectural rationale for the Craft-Coder pair programming plugin.

Acerca de

Craft-Coder Help serves as the primary navigation and education hub for the craft-coder plugin, transforming Claude into a senior-level pair programmer. It enables developers to access documentation for guided project creation, architectural decision logging, and Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflows while explaining the rationale behind every technical choice. This skill is essential for developers who want to maintain high code quality, understand trade-offs, and move beyond basic code generation toward intentional, well-documented software engineering and collaborative design.
