What is claude-setup?​

The claude-setup framework is a collection of custom agents, commands, and workflows that transform Claude Code into a structured development powerhouse. Instead of ad-hoc prompting, it provides reproducible processes for setting up projects, managing Git workflows, and maintaining working memory.

Key Components​

1. Specialized Agents​

Pre-built agents that encapsulate best practices:

  • git-workflow-expert: Handles all Git operations with conventional commits
  • project-architect: Designs scalable project structures
  • test-engineer: Creates comprehensive test suites
  • devops-automator: Manages CI/CD pipelines

2. Structured Commands​

Powerful commands that scaffold entire workflows:

  • /project:develop - Initialize a new development environment
  • /project:analyze - Deep dive into existing codebases
  • /project:refactor - Systematic refactoring workflows
  • /project:deploy - Production deployment procedures

3. Working Memory System​

Persistent, structured memory that tracks:

  • Project phases and progress
  • Validation gates
  • TODO items
  • Blockers and dependencies
  • Decision history

Why Use claude-setup?​

Without claude-setup​

You: Build a user authentication system
Claude: *Starts coding immediately without structure*

With claude-setup​

You: /project:develop user-auth
Claude: *Creates structured plan with phases, validation gates, and progress tracking*

Core Benefits​

1. Consistency​

Every project follows the same high-quality process:

  • Standardized Git workflows
  • Consistent code structure
  • Predictable deliverables

2. Efficiency​

Save hours on every project:

  • No more explaining Git conventions
  • Automatic progress tracking
  • Built-in validation checks

3. Quality​

Enterprise-grade development practices:

  • Comprehensive testing protocols
  • Security-first approach
  • Documentation standards

4. Scalability​

Perfect for teams and agencies:

  • Onboard developers quickly
  • Maintain standards across projects
  • Reduce review cycles

Real-World Example​

Here's how claude-setup transforms a typical task:

Traditional Approach​

You: Add user authentication to this Express app

Claude: I'll add authentication. Let me install passport...
[Lots of back and forth about requirements, testing, etc.]

claude-setup Approach​

You: /project:develop express-auth

Claude: Initializing express-auth development environment...

Created working memory at: projects/express-auth/CLAUDE.md

PHASE 1: ANALYSIS
□ Analyze existing Express application structure
□ Identify authentication requirements
□ Review security considerations
□ Document integration points

Shall I proceed with the analysis phase?

The framework automatically:

  • Creates a dedicated workspace
  • Generates a comprehensive CLAUDE.md
  • Tracks progress through phases
  • Validates work at each stage
  • Maintains a clear audit trail

Framework Components​

Efficiency Protocol​

Maximizes productivity with:

  • Parallel task execution
  • Smart caching strategies
  • Minimal context switching
  • Optimized token usage

Dual-Track Compliance​

Keeps analysis and implementation in sync:

  • Design decisions tracked
  • Implementation matches spec
  • Automatic verification
  • Change documentation

Validation Gates​

Ensures quality at every step:

  • Pre-implementation checks
  • Post-implementation verification
  • Test coverage requirements
  • Security validations

Progress Dashboard​

Real-time visibility into:

  • Current phase status
  • Completed tasks
  • Pending items
  • Blocker tracking

Getting Started​

Get Full Access
  1. Purchase claude-setup from the app
  2. Install via provided npm package
  3. Initialize in your project
  4. Run /project:develop [name]

Use Cases​

Startups​

  • Rapid MVP development
  • Consistent architecture
  • Fast iteration cycles

Agencies​

  • Standardized deliverables
  • Efficient onboarding
  • Quality assurance
