Feature Orchestrator simplifies your development workflow by combining backlog management, AI Agent Skill selection, and AI prompt generation into a single, repeatable process.
- Combines prompt writing and backlog refinement into a single workflow.
- Keeps the feature backlog inside the IDE, versioned alongside the codebase (no external tools required).
- Lets you select AI Agent skills and documentation from a predefined in-IDE list.
- Quickly download the latest AI Agent skills from the Claude Code skills repository.
- Preview, Add, Edit, Delete and Mark Features as Completed with ease.
- Works seamlessly with JetBrains AI Assistant.
- Configurable feature templates for consistent planning.
** Plan in IDE → Select Agent Skills → Generate prompt → AI Assistant → Mark as completed **
Feature Orchestrator uses a BACKLOG.md file in your project root where you can plan your features using simple Markdown.
- Manage Backlog: Add, edit, and navigate through your features directly within the IDE tool window.
- Select Agent Skills: Choose from available Agent Skills (documentation, style guides, or specialized instructions) to include in your prompt.
- Sync Skills: Download the latest Agent Skills from the Claude Code repository to keep your AI prompts optimized.
- Generate Prompt: Create a structured AI prompt that includes the feature description and selected skills.
- AI Handoff: Automatically copy the prompt to your clipboard or open the AI Assistant with the prompt ready to go.
- Mark as Completed: Once the work is done, mark the feature as completed. The plugin handles checking off the feature or moving it to a
COMPLETED.mdfile. - Configurable Templates: Customize the default template for new features in settings to fit your team's needs.
- IDE Integrated: Works with all IntelliJ-based IDEs.
- AI Ready: Deeply integrated with JetBrains AI Assistant.
- Transparent: Fully transparent execution logs.
- Manual Control: Explicit user actions only—no autonomous changes to your code.
Feature Orchestrator never runs on its own and never modifies your code or planning files via AI without your command.
- Solo developers and small teams shipping fast.
- Developers who want to keep their planning close to their code.
- Teams using JetBrains AI Assistant or similar tools.
- Anyone tired of hanging out in Jira or similar tools.
- Anyone who wants to save mental energy by using a repeatable prompt generation workflow.
- Not an autonomous agent.
- Not a background task runner.
- Not another AI chat interface.
It’s a Feature orchestrator.
