Insight Engine is a lightweight plugin for Claude Code and Claude Cowork that analyses high-stakes, complex, and wicked problems — the kind where the danger is that the important things hide, the evidence is mixed or interested, and the deciding questions are value judgements. It wraps a strong LLM in an assurance layer: source-tiered web verification, a disconfirmation pass, grade-locked decision briefs, and audience rendering, architected around the ICD-203 analytic tradecraft standards. The model provides the insight; the engine makes it verified, defensible, and audience-ready.
Built one controlled test at a time, keeping only what beats a strong plain pass. Every load-bearing claim is graded [V] (independently corroborated) or [N] (rests on an interested or self-reporting party), with strength tiers [V1]/[V2]/[V3]; once a grade is set it is never changed downstream — only re-expressed.
/analyse— the main workflow: a fail-safe proportionality triage → a fixed "provocation page" pass → source-tiered web verification with a disconfirmation search → a conditional systems-investigation pass for feedback-driven problems (a graded causal map of loops, tipping conditions, and leverage — investigate, don't predict) → deep-core routing → grade-lock + an assumption-resilience check → a forced judgement gate you clear → a five-part decision brief./verify— fact-check the load-bearing claims of an analysis against current sources; catch confidently-wrong facts; route what can't be verified online to the right place./render— re-voice a finished analysis for a specific reader (board, counsel, regulator, family, adversary, or any named standpoint) without changing a claim or a grade./track— keep an investigation live across sessions as new facts arrive.
- ICD-203 alignment — how the Insight Engine maps to the nine US Intelligence Community analytic tradecraft standards (blind-assessed at 92% vs a bare model's 75%), with the bounding "architected-around, not certified" caveat.
/plugin marketplace add ComplexAR/Insight-Engine
/plugin install insight-engine@insight-engine-marketplace
marketplace add takes owner/repo, so the command above assumes the repo is named Insight-Engine — substitute your repo name if you call it something else. The part after the @ is the marketplace's own name, set in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. To pick up a new release later, run /plugin marketplace update.
The desktop app installs plugins from a file rather than from a GitHub marketplace:
- Download
dist/insight-engine-0.1.7.pluginfrom this repo (or from the latest Release). - In Cowork, open Customize → Skills → Upload from file and choose the
.plugin.
0.1.7. For how releases are cut, see PUBLISHING.md.
