Renamed. This organization was
pragmatic-engineer. It is now The Amplified Engineer, with the handleamplifiedengineer. GitHub redirects the old addresses, but do not rely on that. If you installed Playbook before the rename, remove the old install and install again. Your data stays in~/.config/playbook.
- Homebrew:
brew uninstall playbook, thenbrew untap pragmatic-engineer/tap, thenbrew install amplifiedengineer/tap/playbook.- Nix:
nix profile remove playbook, thennix profile install github:amplifiedengineer/nix#playbook.- Claude Code plugin: the marketplace and the plugin id were renamed too. Update the
playbookbinary first. An install on the old id keeps working until you move. To move, runclaude plugin uninstall playbook@pragmatic-engineer, thenclaude plugin marketplace remove pragmatic-engineer, thenclaude plugin marketplace add amplifiedengineer/marketplace, thenclaude plugin install playbook@amplifiedengineer.- Install script: run it again from the new address, shown below.
The Amplified Engineer builds a pragmatic toolset for software engineers that uses coding agents. Our main project is Playbook, a toolkit for Claude Code. It adds skills, slash commands and subagents for planning, review and memory, plus a small playbook binary that runs safety guards and hooks.
