Great Minds Plugin

14 Agents, One Install

The Claude Code plugin that powers the entire Great Minds agency. Install it, drop in a PRD, and 14 agents debate, plan, build, review, and ship your product — with worktree isolation, decoupled crons, and a board of directors that reviews every project before it goes live.

Architecture

Worktrees. Crons. Memory. Board.

The plugin is not a chatbot wrapper. It is a production agency with isolated execution, independent scheduling, compounding memory, and multi-perspective review. Every piece is decoupled. Every piece scales.

Agent Tool

Each agent runs in its own git worktree. No file conflicts. No merge hell. Agents build in parallel on isolated branches, then merge cleanly.

Decoupled Crons

Four independent cron loops. Orchestrator advances state every 5 minutes. Heartbeat updates STATUS.md. Organizer tidies files. Dream consolidates memory hourly.

GSD Integration

Idle to debate to plan to build to review to ship. Every transition is tracked. Every decision is logged. The agency remembers what worked.

Board of Directors

Advisory board reviews every project before ship. Market viability, user retention, onboarding experience, and architecture — four lenses on every product.

Key Innovations

What makes this different.

01

Worktree Isolation

Every agent gets its own git worktree. Steve builds frontend on one branch while Elon builds backend on another. No file locks. No merge conflicts. Parallel execution that actually works.

02

Decoupled Crons

Four independent loops running on different intervals. The orchestrator does not wait for the dream cycle. The heartbeat does not block the build. Each concern runs on its own clock.

03

Memory That Compounds

The dream cycle runs hourly — orient, gather, consolidate, prune. Every project makes the agency smarter. Patterns accumulate. Mistakes are never repeated. The plugin learns.

04

Board Review Protocol

Four advisory board members review every project before ship. Not rubber stamps — real challenges. Warren asks if it is a business. Shonda asks if users will return. The board catches what builders miss.

The roster

14 agents. Every one has a job.

Two directors who disagree productively. One orchestrator who keeps the peace. Specialists who execute. A board that challenges. No filler.

What we learned

Isolation is the foundation.

Without worktree isolation, parallel agent execution is a myth. Agents step on each other, branches conflict, and the orchestrator spends more time resolving merges than advancing state. Worktrees solved this completely.

Decouple everything that can be decoupled.

Crons should not wait for each other. Memory consolidation should not block builds. The orchestrator should not block on QA. Four independent loops, four independent clocks.

A board catches what builders cannot see.

Builders are too close to the work. A board with diverse perspectives — market, retention, onboarding, architecture — catches blind spots that no amount of internal review will find.
