Claude Code Starter Kit

The workflow system I wish I'd had on day one. Free, opinionated, battle-tested.

Status: Design phase — kit content coming soon.

---

What this will be

A complete, opinionated Claude Code setup — skills, hooks, brain structure, MCP servers, and docs — packaged so a new user can go from zero to productive in about 20 minutes.

When v1 is ready, you'll clone this repo, run one command, and walk through a guided onboarding that sets up everything — including a /welcome skill that interviews you inside Claude Code and personalizes the setup to how you work.

Why

Claude Code is incredibly powerful, but the learning curve is steep and most new users never get far enough to see what it can really do. This kit packages a working, battle-tested setup — the one I use to build real software in production — so newcomers can skip the cold start and land in a workspace that's already humming.

Planned features

• One-command install on Mac and Windows
• 12 custom skills — /new-project, /today, /wrap, /ingest, /welcome, and more
• Brain structure — a cross-project knowledge hub you can browse with Obsidian
• MCP servers — lean-ctx (smart file reading) and Armory (your personal knowledge vault) bundled and auto-configured
• Guided onboarding via /welcome — Claude interviews you, personalizes itself, and transitions straight into your first working session
• Self-learning Armory — if you don't know what you want to build yet, the system learns what you care about as you go. You're never penalized for starting undecided.
