Why Use This
Most developers start Claude Code with a blank slate -- no skills, no agents, no coding standards. This plugin gives you a production-ready foundation in under 60 seconds.
- 75 curated skills across 25 categories so Claude Code knows your stack's best practices out of the box
- 14 specialized agents for code review, security audits, TDD, debugging, architecture, and more -- ready to spawn as subagents
- 15 slash commands that map to the workflows developers actually use:
/review,/tdd,/debug,/security-check,/plan - 8 rules that enforce coding standards (immutability, conventional commits, 80%+ test coverage) without manual configuration
- 6 hooks for automatic formatting, security checks, and lint reminders on every tool event
- Cross-AI support -- the same best practices are exported to Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex configuration formats
Whether you write TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, or Java, this starter kit gets Claude Code productive immediately.

Adding Reference Files
For skills that need deeper content, add a references/ subdirectory:
skills/typescript/strict-typescript/
SKILL.md
references/
compiler-options.md
migration-guide.mdCreating New Skills
- Create a directory under the appropriate category in
skills/ - Add a
SKILL.mdwith YAML frontmatter (nameanddescriptionare required fields) - Run
./install.shto symlink the new skill into~/.claude/skills/
Disabling a Skill
Remove its symlink without deleting the source file:
rm ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>Uninstall
Remove all symlinked skills:
./uninstall.shOr remove individual skills:
rm ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>Contributing
Contributions are welcome. To add a new skill, agent, or command:
- Fork the repository
- Create a feature branch (
git checkout -b feat/new-skill-name) - Add your files following the existing directory structure
- Ensure any new
SKILL.mdhas valid YAML frontmatter withnameanddescription - Test by running
./install.shand verifying the skill loads in Claude Code - Open a pull request with a clear description of what the skill covers and why it is useful
For bug reports or feature requests, open an issue on the GitHub Issues page.
