ifd - Issue First Development (Deprecated)

A Claude Code plugin that generates structured implementation workflows from issue tracker URLs.

Installation

claude plugin install thomasindrias/ifd

Usage

/ifd <issue-url-or-id>

Or just /ifd to be prompted for the issue.

Examples

# With Linear URL
/ifd https://linear.app/my-team/issue/PROJ-123/implement-feature

# With JIRA URL
/ifd https://company.atlassian.net/browse/TEAM-456

# With just an issue ID (will ask which tracker)
/ifd PROJ-123

# Interactive mode
/ifd

What It Does

1. Fetches issue details via issue-dev plugin (provider-agnostic)
2. Infers task type (frontend, backend, full-stack, or design) from description
3. Asks for confirmation and additional context
4. Generates a structured workflow with:
   • 3+ planning iterations before implementation
   • Code review validation of the plan
   • Worktree-based development isolation
   • FE/BE-specific verification steps
   • Status tracking integration
   • Positive and negative criteria sections

Generated Workflow

The plugin generates a prompt that includes:

• Planning Protocol: Three-pass planning with code review validation
• Criteria Sections: Both success criteria and what NOT to do
• Workflow Instructions: Pre-implementation, implementation, and completion steps
• Database Awareness: Prompts for migration strategy if schema changes detected
• Quality Gates: Typecheck, lint, build, and code review before completion
