About plankton

plankton Write-time code quality enforcement for AI coding agents, built on Claude Code hooks. [!CAUTION] Research project under active development. Hooks are tested against Claude Code = 2.1.50 (see badge). Newer CC versions usually work but are not guaranteed. Disable CC auto-updates to prevent silent breakage (see Quick Start). If you encounter issues, file a report including the output of . To pin to a specific Plankton version: . quick start That's it. Plankton works by being the directory you run Claude Code from. The hooks in are picked up automatically — no install command, no plugin, no config. Clone, setup, claude. If you prefer non-interactive setup, use: [!NOTE] Windows is not supported. Use WSL2 and follow the Linux instructions inside the WSL environment. [!TIP] You can work on any codebase from inside plankton. Just tell Claude: "work on /path/to/my-project" — it will apply the same quality enforcement to that codebase while the hooks stay active. [!NOTE
