- You will learn: how to install GTM, keep it current, and run your first commands.
- Reading time: 3 minutes.
- Before this: Claude Code in a terminal.
How do I install it for myself?
In a Claude Code session:
/plugin marketplace add MorganKryze/GentleTeaM
/plugin install gtm@gentleteam
On Claude Code 2.1.275 or later, one command does both:
/plugin install gtm --marketplace MorganKryze/GentleTeaM
From a shell, the same two steps:
claude plugin marketplace add MorganKryze/GentleTeaM
claude plugin install gtm@gentleteam
How do I install it for a whole project?
Add the marketplace at project scope and commit the settings file of your project,
.claude/settings.json. Your teammates get GTM once they trust the folder:
{
"extraKnownMarketplaces": {
"gentleteam": {
"source": { "source": "github", "repo": "MorganKryze/GentleTeaM" }
}
},
"enabledPlugins": { "gtm@gentleteam": true }
}
This command writes the first part:
claude plugin marketplace add MorganKryze/GentleTeaM --scope project
What are my first commands?
In your project, run /gtm:init. GTM reads the repository and drafts a one-page
brief (your project’s purpose, users and limits), your conventions
and your team settings (which roles run, and how hard each
one thinks). You approve or edit each one in a single reply.
Then ask for a change with /gtm:gtm <what you want done>. GTM picks the size of the change with
at most two questions and runs it. The command menu lists it as /gtm:gtm (gtm); bare /gtm may
also work when no other command shares the name.
Later, run /gtm:retro after shipping, /gtm:tune when the team feels slow, costly or blind to
something, and /gtm:brief-me to understand any file GTM wrote without reading it.
How do I update it?
Run /plugin marketplace update gentleteam, or claude plugin update gtm@gentleteam from a
shell. Background auto-update is off by default; turn it on per marketplace in /plugin,
Marketplaces. GTM sets a version, so you stay on the one you installed until a release bumps it.
After updating to 0.9.0, re-run /gtm:init once: it offers the usage step that reads your
plan’s limits, and, for a project with screens, the UI test. Nothing else needs migrating.
How do I pin a version?
Add the marketplace at a git ref rather than at its default branch: a tag such as
MorganKryze/GentleTeaM#v0.5.0, or #main to follow the latest work.
What do I need?
Claude Code with plugins and dynamic workflows available. Workflows are on all paid plans; on
Pro, enable them in /config. Node.js and Playwright are needed only by the roles that render or
capture screens.
