3448## How It Works

36- devpace is a Claude Code Plugin that extends Claude's capabilities through three mechanisms :
50+ devpace builds a ** goal-to-code traceability chain ** in your project :
3751
38- - ** Rules** : Define Claude's behavioral guidelines — when to auto-check quality, how to trace goals
39- - ** Skills** : ` /pace-* ` command series, triggering specific workflows
40- - ** Hooks** : Auto-trigger at critical moments — check quality before writing code, restore context on session start
52+ 1 . ** Goal alignment** — Every code change links back to a business goal. No work without purpose.
53+ 2 . ** Auto quality gates** — Claude auto-checks code quality and requirement consistency, self-repairs on failure. Human approval cannot be skipped.
54+ 3 . ** Change is normal** — Requirements changed? Auto impact analysis, orderly adjustment, existing work preserved.
55+ 4 . ** Interrupt-proof** — Session broke? Auto-resume next time. All state in ` .devpace/ ` as plain Markdown.
4156
42- All state is stored in ` .devpace/ ` folder at project root, pure Markdown, human-readable .
57+ Under the hood: a Claude Code Plugin using Rules (behavioral guidelines) + Skills ( ` /pace-* ` commands) + Hooks (auto-triggers at critical moments) .
