TrustMeBro

Your agent keeps the roadmap.

TrustMeBro maps your code, puts every new task on the roadmap before touching it, and keeps the records current as work lands. The next session starts from where the last one stopped.

Install in Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add TonyLikeDev/TrustMeBro
/plugin install trustmebro@trustmebro

Also for IBM Bob, GitHub Copilot CLI, Antigravity and Codex · all installs · built for the IBM Bob 2.0 hackathon

Same prompt, one keeps the record

A new session on a half-finished project, same model and code. The prompt: Continue the project: do the next open task.

Base agent

Explores the code to work out what's done and what's next, then writes the change.

No record of the work. The next session starts from scratch again.

With TrustMeBro

Reads the next action from the roadmap, does it, and records it:

## Feature 4: Discount codes
- [x] `discount_codes` table in schema.sql,
      seeded with SAVE10

Medians of 3 runs each, Claude Code with Sonnet 5, on the benchmark project below.

How it works

  1. Map it/layout-init writes LAYOUT.md: folders, components, database, and where every piece of logic lives.
  2. Plan it/roadmap-planner turns an idea or a proposal into PLAN.md and stops for your approval, then creates ROADMAP.md.
  3. Record firstEvery new task goes on the roadmap before the code: a feature becomes a phase, a fix a maintenance item, and big work waits for an approved plan.
  4. Tick with evidenceFinished items are ticked with the file, test or result that proves them, and the layout is updated in the same change.
  5. Resume coldThe next session starts from the progress headline and the next actions, not from rereading the code.

Benchmark

A half-finished shop backend (35 files, 16 tests: 3 features done, 2 open, 1 known bug), a fresh session per task, and three setups with identical code: the base agent, the agent with LAYOUT.md and ROADMAP.md but no plugin, and TrustMeBro.

Where it wins

  • 2× faster resuming the project: 51 s vs 104 s, and 29% cheaper
  • 46% fewer tokens answering "what's done, what's left?", and it named the bug the code doesn't show
  • Every change run left the roadmap current; the same docs without the plugin, 0 of 5

What it costs

  • +28–32% on pure implementation tasks, for keeping the roadmap and layout up to date
Median time, tokens and cost per scenario for TrustMeBro, docs only and the base agent. Resume: 51 s, 69 s, 104 s. Status: 11 s, 15 s, 23 s. Add a feature: 69 s, 57 s, 58 s. Two tasks in two sessions: 149 s, 125 s, 114 s.

Claude Code 2.1.283, Sonnet 5, 2026-09-27. 3 runs per cell (2 for the two-session chain), 45 sessions, $7.81. Tokens include cached input. "Two tasks, two sessions": discount codes, then the shipping bug, each in a new session with no memory of the first. Reproduce with python3 benchmark/project_bench.py run.

Install

Skills work in every agent. The automatic parts (session-start rules, the new-task reminder that creates ROADMAP.md) run in Claude Code and Bob.
