Infinum AI Stack
A workflow, a set of skills, and a delivery platform — packaged together and installed per repo with one command — so specs, quality gates, and measurement live alongside the code.
What's in the stack
| # | Component | What it is |
|---|
| 01 | PSDD | Pragmatic Spec Driven Development — Infinum's 4-step workflow for shipping features with AI. Depth scales with the work. |
| 02 | Skills marketplace | Per-repo installable plugins — PRD authoring, security audits, UI validation, local PR review, and more. Install only what the project needs. |
| 03 | Caliber | Infinum's AI delivery platform. Define specs (PRD, brief, tech spec, plan) following PSDD, reviewed and approved in the portal; Assure every PR with code, security, and spec-conformance audits plus a human sign-off; Measure AI cost and delivery per project, team, and person. Agents connect through one MCP server — Claude Code via infinum/caliber-plugin. Talk to us to learn more. |
| 04 | Sandbox kits | Docker Sandboxes kits that give you an Infinum-ready claude sandbox in one command — plugins, house rules and team tooling preconfigured. |
Quick start
1. Align your AI coding setup
Run prompts/ai-engineering-setup.md with your AI coding agent of choice — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot. The prompt is agent-agnostic. It checks what you already have and walks you through whatever's missing across four capabilities:
- A PRD creation skill
- A spec-driven development setup (Caliber, or your own equivalent)
- A local agentic PR-review skill
- A UI validation skill
Default to project-level setup. We prefer each repo to carry its own AI workflows so configuration ships with the code. User-level works too, but your improvements stay on your machine instead of traveling with the repo.
2. Use it on a real feature
The stack pays off on work with real complexity — a new screen, a meaningful refactor, business logic with edge cases. It's overkill for small bug fixes, copy tweaks, or anything you'd knock out in under an hour.
The full flow for a meaningful feature:
- Start from a PRD or a well-refined task ticket — capture what "done" means before writing any code
- Understand → design → plan → build, using Caliber's
prd, brief, tech-spec, and plan commands or your equivalent spec-driven setup
- Iterate on the UI with the UI validation skill where applicable
- Run a local PR review before you push; with Caliber set up in the repository, the check runs on push and the PR gets its Caliber status
Optional: layer in cloud PR review (CodeRabbit) on top of the local pass for an additional automated check.
3. Stay current
The installer enables the stack-essentials plugin by default. It prints a banner at session start when infinum/ai has new commits on main since your last installer run — telling you a new version of the workspace installer is available and nudging you to re-run pnpm dlx github:infinum/ai. That's all it does; picking up the update is a manual re-run (do it yourself, or have an agent run it non-interactively — node bin/install.js --help lists the flags). Re-running is idempotent and reports exactly which rules changed (often "nothing" — see the plugin README for why). Plugin updates flow through the Claude Code marketplace's auto-update toggle separately.
To disable the update banner: set INFINUM_STACK_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=1 in your environment, or run /plugin disable stack-essentials.
Glossary
| Term | Meaning |
|---|
| The Stack | The packaged combination of workflow, skills, and delivery platform that Infinum engineers install per repo. Described in this document. |
| PSDD | Pragmatic Spec Driven Development — Infinum's 4-step workflow for building with AI. Full guide: psdd/README.md. |
| Skill | A focused, reusable instruction set installed as a plugin. Defined in a SKILL.md file. Each Infinum skill ships as its own plugin so engineers install only what they need. |
| Caliber | Infinum's AI delivery platform. Defines specs (Define), gates every pull request with audits and a human sign-off (Assure), and measures AI cost and delivery (Measure). Agents connect through one MCP server; Claude Code via infinum/caliber-plugin. More at caliber.infinum.com; talk to us to learn more. |
