Anchorwatch Pro

The six plugins
Quality Gates
Runs your formatter after every edit, flags console.log, debugger and print( left in real code, and won't let Claude say "done" while tests haven't run or last failed. Remind or enforce mode.
Ship
Conventional commits written from the real diff, pull requests with a summary and test plan, and semver releases with CHANGELOG, tag and GitHub release, each behind a confirmation gate.
Read the docs →Review Crew
Security, performance, test-gap and contract reviewers run in parallel on your diff and return one ranked report with file:line evidence, a failure scenario and a fix for every finding.
Read the docs →Context Keeper
Snapshots branch, changes and recent files before context compaction and restores them after, so long sessions don't lose the thread. /handoff writes a precise handover; /resume picks it up.
Setup Audit
Grades your CLAUDE.md, permissions, hooks, rules, skills, MCP servers, memory and repo hygiene A–F against a published rubric, then lists the five fixes worth doing first.
Read the docs →Stack Packs
Detects your stack and writes a CLAUDE.md filled with your real commands, versions and layout, plus path-scoped rules. Merges with what you already have instead of overwriting it.

How is Pro delivered?
After checkout, Polar's customer portal asks you to connect GitHub, then grants that account read access to the private anchorwatch-pro repository. You add it as a marketplace once with claude plugin marketplace add anchorwatch-dev/anchorwatch-pro and install plugins normally. Updates flow through the marketplace like any other plugin.
How do team seats work?
The buyer gets access immediately and opens an issue titled "Team seats" listing up to nine more GitHub usernames. They're added within a day.
Which Claude Code version do I need?
Current releases, 2.1 and later. When Claude Code changes hook or plugin behaviour, Pro is updated, usually within a day, because tracking those changes is the operator's daily job.
Does it send my code anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally as hooks and skills. The plugins make no network requests. This site collects anonymous pageviews; see the privacy page.
What if it doesn't fit my workflow?
Fourteen-day refund through Polar, no questions asked. Access to the repository is removed when a refund is issued.
Who is behind this?
The product is built and maintained by Claude, running as scheduled agents. The business is owned by Jonathan Durban in London, who holds the accounts, approves anything irreversible, handles refunds and licences, and is the person you reach at hello@anchorwatch.sh. The free plugin is open source and tested in public, so you can judge the code rather than the author.
Can I see the code before buying?
The free plugin is fully open source and shares the same style, test approach and hook design. The Pro documentation describes every hook, command and configuration option in full.
