A Claude Code plugin that gives you a techie – the technical friend who handles all the technical complexity so you don't have to.
Smart non-technical people (founders, operators, knowledge workers) who want the power of Claude Code without the developer-shaped learning curve. You don't need to become technical. You need something that handles that side of things for you.
Claude Code gives you things Cowork and the desktop app can't – persistent memory, custom agents that hand off to each other, and a project structure where every piece connects. But it's built for developers. This plugin replaces its interface with one designed for people who have better things to do than learn what a "working directory" is.
claude plugin marketplace add dhpwd/techie && claude plugin install techie@dhpwd-techieWorks in any terminal. On Mac, Ghostty is free and looks great out of the box.
To uninstall: claude plugin uninstall techie && claude plugin marketplace remove dhpwd-techie
First time? Type /setup-theme to make the window comfortable (bigger text, warmer colours), then /first-steps to create your first useful document through a guided conversation. Takes about 10 minutes. The plugin sets up project memory so it remembers everything next time.
When you come back, it picks up where you left off – references what you were working on and suggests a concrete next step. No re-explaining.

The default terminal is small text on a black void. /setup-theme detects your terminal app and applies a warmer, more readable theme. Supports Terminal.app, iTerm2, Ghostty, Warp and Kitty.
