Frequently Asked Questions
FAQPage SchemaHow to install code-is-cheap?▼
Run `npx skills add noho/code-is-cheap --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all five skills globally.
What problem does code-is-cheap solve?▼
It stops automated coding from drifting off-scope by forcing every work unit through fixed gates with written plans, evidence-based reviews, and accepted commits before a draft PR is opened.
How does the gated workflow work?▼
Phaseflow reads your design and control documents, confirms goals with you, then dispatches plan, implementation, review, and fix gates to agents in a fixed order until final closeout.
Does code-is-cheap work with Claude Code and Codex?▼
Yes. All skills follow the standard SKILL.md format and run in Claude Code, Codex, and other runtimes that support local skill files.
Can it coordinate multiple coding agents?▼
Yes. The init-agents skill defines safe tmux-based communication rules so a controller agent can dispatch tasks to several agents in separate panes.
