make-it-work — Amp Edition

Know your code. Close your gaps. Ship with confidence.

Amp plugin port of insideout-ai/make-it-work (originally a Claude Code plugin).

What's included

Component	Path	Purpose
Plugin	.amp/plugins/make-it-work.ts	Command palette entries for both workflows
go-deep skill	skills/go-deep/SKILL.md	Build a 3-tier documentation system for any codebase
close-the-gaps skill	skills/close-the-gaps/SKILL.md	Ticket refinement with gap analysis and Gherkin output

Installation

Option A: Project-level (recommended for teams)

Copy the files into your project:

your-project/
├── .amp/plugins/make-it-work.ts
└── skills/
    ├── go-deep/SKILL.md
    └── close-the-gaps/SKILL.md

Option B: User-wide

# Plugin
Copy-Item ".amp\plugins\make-it-work.ts" "$HOME\.config\amp\plugins\" -Force

# Skills
Copy-Item -Recurse "skills\go-deep"        "$HOME\.agents\skills\go-deep"
Copy-Item -Recurse "skills\close-the-gaps"  "$HOME\.agents\skills\close-the-gaps"

Then in Amp, open the command palette and run Plugins: Reload.

Usage

Via Command Palette

• Make It Work: Go Deep — starts the 3-tier documentation workflow
• Make It Work: Close the Gaps — prompts for a ticket ID, then runs the refinement session

Via Skill Loading

In any Amp thread, ask the agent:

• "Load the skill go-deep and run the workflow"
• "Load the skill close-the-gaps for ticket PROJ-123"

Acknowledgments

This project is a port of make-it-work by insideout-ai — the original creators of both the concept and the skill workflows. Their Claude Code plugin introduced the idea of a structured 3-tier documentation system and a gap-analysis-driven ticket refinement process. This Amp edition adapts their work to the Amp plugin ecosystem.
