Ownercode, by Dirty Work Software
Ownercode Pro: the head start
The free kit teaches you the method. Pro is the head start.
$299, one time, plus VAT where it applies, for you and every business you own. Your AI starts from a working app, not a blank folder.
Pro over free
Everything in the free kit, plus
- A full interview. Before anything gets stored, the AI asks how your business works and writes your answers down. Your first tables come from those answers, not from a guess.
- A design system. It makes the AI's screens look designed, not generated. Each project gets its own visual rules, checked at phone and desktop widths.
- A working reference to start from. A service website and a CRM that already work, instead of a blank folder. The AI adapts them to your answers.
- Research on your trade. Local competitors, the phrases your customers search, and the sites AI assistants cite. It ends in a plan of which page answers which search. Trade packs give it a head start for your trade. See the trades
- Six deeper skills. Pages, data connections, a search check before you publish, an architecture check before each save, a readiness check before you go live, and a clean wrap-up when a task is done.
- Updates. Updates as we learn more.
Want to start now? The free kit has the guide, the start prompt, the guardrails, the task system and both building skills. Get the free kit.
What Pro does not include
- Hosting, your accounts, or your AI plan. You pay for those yourself, the same as with the free kit.
- Someone to build it for you. That is a different, paid service. Call us for that instead.
- Resale. Pro is for you and every business you own. Building for clients? Write to us first.

Type your email. The setup steps show up right here, and a copy lands in your inbox.
You are in. Four steps from here.
- Make a new, empty folder with a short path, such as C:\Projects\my-crm. Open Claude Code or Codex in it.
- Pick Opus 5.5 or a newer Opus at High effort in Claude Code, or GPT-6 Astra at High in Codex.
- Paste the setup prompt below. The AI explains the guide, installs missing tools, and walks you through approvals and a restart.
- Reopen the same folder. Paste the start prompt and answer its questions. You make the business decisions.
Set up the free Ownercode kit in this tool. Do the technical work; stop before the business interview.
1. Read https://github.com/Dirty-Work-Software/ownercode/blob/main/GUIDE.md. Give me five short bullets from sections 1, 3, 3b and 4; skim 2 and 3a. Complete section 5 with me. Confirm a new, empty project folder with a short path; create one if needed without overwriting work. Show its full path.
2. Check Git first; install it if missing. Check and install missing Node.js LTS (at least 22.12), pnpm and GitHub CLI from official sources or a trusted package manager. Verify versions. Install Node before the plugin. Request administrator approval if needed.
3. Confirm Opus 5.5 or a newer Opus at High effort in Claude Code, or GPT-6 Astra at High in Codex. If you cannot set or verify this, guide me through the controls and wait for confirmation. Keep this model for planning and building.
4. Install only for this tool. Claude Code: run claude plugin marketplace add Dirty-Work-Software/ownercode, then claude plugin install ownercode@ownercode. Codex: run codex plugin marketplace add Dirty-Work-Software/ownercode, then codex plugin add ownercode@ownercode. Verify the install. Save the repository's START-HERE-PROMPT.md in my project; do not run it.
5. Check GitHub and Cloudflare sign-in; help me complete missing account and browser steps. I handle passwords, payment and consent. Public plugin installation needs no GitHub login. Defer an Anthropic API key until my app needs AI; never ask for secrets in chat.
6. If a sandbox, permission or approval check blocks you, show the command and error. Request the specific approval through the normal tool flow. Do not disable safeguards or treat approval as overriding a policy refusal. If still blocked, give exact commands for my operating system, starting in the full project path, and wait for results. Say "sandbox-only" only when verified.
7. Show command output and a done/waiting checklist. Guide my final controls: Claude Code: /plugin > Marketplaces > ownercode > Enable auto-update. Codex: /hooks > review and trust Ownercode hooks. Tell me to restart, reopen the same folder, and check for "Ownercode safety guards: on." in a fresh Codex session. Then tell me to paste the saved start prompt and answer its questions myself. Do not start the interview or build the app. Or type the lines yourself.
Claude Code. Type these two lines in Claude Code, one at a time:
/plugin marketplace add Dirty-Work-Software/ownercode
/plugin install ownercode@ownercode Then turn on updates, once: type /plugin, open Marketplaces, pick ownercode, choose Enable auto-update.
Codex. Run these two lines in a terminal:
codex plugin marketplace add Dirty-Work-Software/ownercode
codex plugin add ownercode@ownercode Then open Codex, type /hooks, and trust the Ownercode hooks. Codex runs no safety guard until you do this once. Codex updates the plugin by itself.
Check it: in a new Codex session, the first message must be Ownercode safety guards: on. If it is not, the guards are off. Type /hooks, trust the Ownercode hooks, and restart Codex.
A window asks you to sign in to Git or GitHub? Close it. Ownercode needs no account and no sign-in. Check the address and connection before you try again. Check the spelling: Dirty-Work-Software/ownercode.
