GodmodeMake every task come back finished.

One skill for Claude Code. Eight passes on every job.

Ask Claude Code to build something and it usually stops at "good enough": a first draft you still have to test, harden, and tidy yourself. Godmode makes it go all the way every time. It reads your whole project, plans the work, builds the complete thing, tests it hard, checks security and speed, looks for anything else it might have broken, then polishes and writes down how it works. You type one thing in front of your request and the output comes back done.

// what runs on every task

Eight passes, so you don't have to re-prompt.

Plain English: these are the eight things a careful senior engineer does on every job. Godmode makes Claude Code do all of them, in order, without you asking. The free Lite version runs the first four. Godmode adds the four that catch the expensive mistakes.

01 · IN LITE

Reads everything first

It loads your whole project before touching anything, so it understands what it's changing instead of guessing.

02 · IN LITE

Plans the work

It maps out the steps before writing a line, so the build has a direction instead of wandering.

03 · IN LITE

Builds the whole thing

It finishes the job, not a sketch with "TODO" left for you. Every part it promised is actually there.

04 · IN LITE

Tests it hard

It checks its own work against the tricky cases, not just the one that obviously works.

05 · GODMODE

Checks security

It looks for the ways the code could be abused or leak data, the kind of thing that bites you later.

06 · GODMODE

Checks speed

It makes sure the result is fast enough to use, not just technically correct.

07 · GODMODE

Checks the ripple

It looks at what else its change might have broken elsewhere, before you find out in production.

08 · GODMODE

Polishes and documents

It tidies the result and writes down how it works, so the next person (or the next you) isn't lost.

Works on every project and every language, from a website to a script to a full app. You don't need to know how any of the eight layers work. You just type godmode: in front of your request in Claude Code.

// how you use it

Install once. Then it's one word.

01
Install in under a minute
After you buy, you get a download and a one-line install. It drops into Claude Code's skills folder. We have a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
02
Type godmode: then your request
"godmode: build me a booking form", "godmode: fix this bug". The word switches on all eight layers for that task.
03
Get back finished work
Built, tested, hardened, and documented, in one pass, instead of a draft you babysit through five follow-up prompts.

Common questions.

Where does Godmode run?
Inside Claude Code, the command-line tool from Anthropic. It does not run in the claude.ai chat, the Claude desktop app, Cursor, or Copilot. If you don't use a terminal, look at Easy Prompt instead, which does the same kind of work from a chat box.
Do I need a paid Claude plan?
It works on Claude Pro with roughly two to three times the usual token use per task because of the extra passes. Claude Max is the comfortable fit. Using your own API key works too, at the same overhead on cost.
What is the difference from the free Lite version?
Lite runs the first four layers: reads everything, plans, builds, and tests. Godmode adds the four that catch the costly mistakes: the security check, the speed check, the ripple-effect check, and the auto-documentation. Try Lite free first if you want to feel the difference.
Can I read it before I run it?
Yes. A skill is just readable text instructions plus a few helper scripts that only run when you approve them. You can open every file and read it before anything happens. The free Lite zip is downloadable with no email so you (or your agent) can audit the format.
What if it's not for me?
14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Request it from your account page or email support@getgodmode.dev.
