What claude-code-setup does

The plugin gives Claude a skill that walks the codebase and proposes one or two automations per category: MCP servers for outside integrations (context7 for docs, Playwright for frontend), skills that package expertise, hooks for auto-format and auto-lint, subagent reviewers for security and performance, plus slash commands like /test and /pr-review.

It is read-only. Nothing in your project gets rewritten, so you can run it on any working copy without worrying about surprise edits. You get a list of suggestions and decide yourself what to adopt.

Worth running on a project you have just inherited: it is faster than working out by hand where automation pays off.

What it helps with

  • figure out which hooks are worth enabling
  • pick an MCP server for frontend or docs work
  • spot missing subagent reviewers
  • get a slash command list that fits the stack
  • decide which Claude automations to set up first

Example prompts for the agent

  • recommend automations for this project
  • help me set up Claude
  • what hooks should I use?

# Claude Code Setup Plugin

Analyze codebases and recommend tailored Claude Code automations - hooks, skills, MCP servers, and more.

## What It Does

Claude uses this skill to scan your codebase and recommend the top 1-2 automations in each category:

- **MCP Servers** - External integrations (context7 for docs, Playwright for frontend)
- **Skills** - Packaged expertise (Plan agent, frontend-design)
- **Hooks** - Automatic actions (auto-format, auto-lint, block sensitive files)
- **Subagents** - Specialized reviewers (security, performance, accessibility)
- **Slash Commands** - Quick workflows (/test, /pr-review, /explain)

This skill is **read-only** - it analyzes but doesn't modify files.

## Usage

```
"recommend automations for this project"
"help me set up Claude Code"
"what hooks should I use?"
```
