An opinionated 5-phase workflow for shipping indie apps with Claude Code.
For solo founders. Idea, validation, design, build, publish. Flutter, Next.js, or Chrome extension. Spec-driven, ADR-tracked, scout-first. Opinionated defaults that get out of your way.
First-time setup
Installs the workflow into ~/.mutecoil/workflow, symlinks the skills into ~/.claude/skills, and adds an mc command to your PATH.
curl -sSL https://mutecoil.com/install.sh | bash
Generate a new app
Interactive scaffold. Asks for app name, surface (mobile / web / chrome-ext), studio, bundle ID, brand, and domain strategy. Writes STATE.md and drops you at Phase 0.
mc new my-app-name
Then in Claude Code, in the new app dir
/scout <seed> # optional: discover gaps before picking the idea /idea # Phase 0: sharpen the idea /validate # Phase 1: real-world validation /design # Phase 2: PRODUCT.md + DESIGN.md /init # Phase 3: scaffold the app + write SPEC.md # Phase 4 + 5: ck:build, ck:check, /launch
What you get
- Scout
- Pre-Phase-0 autonomous market-gap scout. Throw a seed, get 3 ranked buildable wedges with Reddit/HN evidence.
- Phase 0
- Idea. 30-minute IDEA.md with 5 grilled sections.
- Phase 1
- Validation. Firecrawl competitor + adjacent-tool pass. BUILD / PIVOT / KILL verdict.
- Phase 2
- Design. PRODUCT.md + DESIGN.md. OKLCH tokens, motion vocabulary, type pair.
- Phase 3
- Architecture. SPEC.md (spec-driven dev), ADRs, scaffolded client for your surface.
- Phase 4
- Build. Plan-then-execute against SPEC.md. ck:check weekly. ck:backprop on every failure.
- Phase 5
- Publish. App Store / Play Store / Chrome Web Store / Cloudflare Pages depending on surface.
What this isn't
- A SaaS. There is no account, no billing, no upload.
- A framework. It generates standard Flutter / Next.js / MV3 projects you own.
- A no-code tool. You ship real code through Claude Code.
- For non-developers. Comfortable in a terminal is the floor.
Requirements
- macOS or Linux. Windows via WSL.
- Claude Code installed.
