What is FRAME for Claude Code?

FRAME's Markdown cartridges that structure Claude Code sessions into phases like SHAPE and BUILD, with gates for approval. No installs needed.

Does FRAME make Claude Code slower?

Yes, deliberately – from 1 minute to 10 for bug fixes. But adds docs, edge cases, and audit trails worth it for complex work.

Ambiguous features, team handoffs, audits. Skip for quick, clear tasks.

It's just Markdown files – copy, tweak, share freely.

🤝 Community & Governance

Claude Code is lightning-fast. Too fast. One dev's radical fix: make it deliberate, documented, and damn useful.
