Overview

This repo is your personal Claude Code setup, versioned and reproducible across machines.

Architecture principle:

• skills/ = entry points you invoke via /skill-name
• agents/ = execution units called by skills (never invoked directly by user)
• templates/ = symlinked to ~/.claude/templates/ — copy into projects via /onboard or manually
• Graphify builds a knowledge graph of any codebase (/graphify query), producing a navigable wiki in graphify-out/wiki/. This map helps Claude understand project structure, find relevant code faster, and reason across files. Essential for large-scope tasks (multi-file features, complex bugs, architectural changes). Small tasks should skip it and read files directly.

Fresh install (new machine)

# 1. Clone with submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:youruser/claude-config.git
cd claude-config

# 2. Create a free Context7 account at https://context7.com/
#    Copy your API key and set it:
export CONTEXT7_API_KEY="your-key-here"

# 3. Bootstrap (CLI + auth + symlinks + plugins)
bash install.sh

# 4. Verify setup
bash doctor.sh

# 5. Restart Claude Code — plugins load automatically

All scripts use their own location to find the repo — run them from anywhere. Install output is logged to install-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.log.

Installed components

Component	Type	Description	Docs
Superpowers	Plugin (required)	Brainstorming, planning, subagent-driven dev, code review, branch finishing. Required by /init-project and /ship-feature.	obra/superpowers-marketplace
GStack	Plugin (toggle)	Full-product workflow: UI + design + deploy + browser QA. Skip for backend/CLI projects.	garrytan/gstack
GSD v2	External CLI	Multi-session orchestration: crash recovery, cost tracking, parallel workers, context-fresh execution.	gsd-build/gsd-2
RTK	Plugin (always on)	Code rewrite hook. Zero passive cost.	rtk-ai/rtk
security-guidance	Plugin (always on)	Security hook. Zero passive cost.	anthropics/claude-code
ui-ux-pro-max	Plugin (toggle)	Design system, color/typography choices. Enable for design-heavy projects.	nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill
Context7	Plugin (toggle)	Fast-evolving libs doc lookup (Next.js, React, Prisma...). Requires a free account + API key (see install).	context7.com
pr-review-toolkit	Plugin (toggle)	Multi-agent PR review.	anthropics/claude-code
Graphify	Python CLI	Codebase → knowledge graph → navigable wiki. Helps Claude map and search projects efficiently.	pypi: graphifyy
Caveman	Plugin (always on) + hooks	Output token compression (~75%) via caveman-speak. Full install = plugin (/caveman, cavecrew, caveman-commit, caveman-review, caveman-stats) + standalone hooks (statusline + stats badge). The optional caveman-shrink MCP proxy compresses upstream-server prose — manual config required (it wraps another MCP server). See install-plugins.sh STEP 5.5 for the snippet.	JuliusBrussee/caveman

Versions are pinned in plugins.lock.json. To update: edit the file, then re-run install-plugins.sh.

Slash commands

Command	Description
/init-project	Initialize a complete project from scratch (full orchestrator, 12+ steps)
/ship-feature	Ship a feature end-to-end with validation gates (full orchestrator)
/onboard	Onboard an existing project — generate CLAUDE.md, settings, .claudeignore
/feat	Small feature implementation (1-5 files, lightweight)
/bugfix	Structured bug fix with root cause investigation
/hotfix	Quick fix for superficial bugs (typos, CSS, config — max 2 files)
/analyze	Deep factual analysis of code before any modification
/refactor	Improve code quality without changing behavior
/code-clean	Dead code removal, style/norm enforcement
/doc	Documentation audit and sync — detect stale docs, patch
/seo	Full SEO/GEO audit and optimization
/commit-change	Smart commit grouping from staged/unstaged changes
/graphify	Codebase knowledge graph — navigation for large-scope tasks
/plugin-check	Check active plugins vs project needs — recommend enable/disable
/health	Run setup diagnostic
/status	Consolidated project snapshot — plugins, git, GSD milestone
/skills-perso	List personal (user-created) skills

Three core workflows

From scratch — /init-project

/plugin-check "description"     # configure plugins (also runs as STEP 0)
/init-project "description"     # interview → scaffold → implement → review
/ship-feature "next feature"    # ship feature by feature

Existing project — /onboard

cd my-existing-project/
/onboard                        # generates CLAUDE.md + settings + .claudeignore
/plugin-check "project type"
/ship-feature "next feature"

New feature — /ship-feature

/ship-feature "feature description"
# → STEP 0: plugin check
# → STEP 1-2: brainstorm + plan (superpowers)
# → STEP 3: validation gate — user approval required
# → STEP 4-7: implement (TDD) → review → finish
# → STEP 8: sync README

For small features (1-5 files), use /feat instead — no orchestration overhead.

Settings and permissions

Settings follow a hierarchy (highest priority first):

managed-settings.json   → enterprise (cannot be overridden)
CLI flags               → session only
.claude/settings.local  → personal machine overrides (gitignored)
.claude/settings.json   → project rules (committed)
~/.claude/settings.json → global user rules (this repo)

DENY always wins over ALLOW at any level. .claudeignore applies independently.

Templates for per-project settings are in templates/settings/. Copy them with /onboard or manually:

CONF="$(dirname "$(readlink ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md)")"
cp "$CONF/templates/settings/settings.json" .claude/settings.json
cp "$CONF/templates/settings/.claudeignore" .claudeignore

Diagnostic and maintenance

# Terminal
bash doctor.sh              # full diagnostic (symlinks, plugins, permissions, token budget)
bash update-all.sh          # update all components (CLI, plugins, submodules, symlinks)

# Claude Code
/health                     # runs doctor.sh
/status                     # project snapshot (plugins, git, GSD milestone)
/plugin-check "description" # audit plugin config vs project needs

# Makefile (from repo directory)
make install                # bootstrap: CLI + auth + symlinks + plugins
make doctor                 # diagnostic
make update                 # pull + submodules + symlinks + doctor
make plugin                 # install plugins only
make new-skill name=myskill # scaffold agent + skill files

doctor.sh checks: symlinks, GStack submodule, prerequisites (git, Node, Cargo, Python, Claude Code), plugins, permissions, token budget, config consistency.
