claude-code-kickstart

Go from fresh install to power user in one command.

Every Claude Code resource is a catalog — "here's 200 things, good luck." This repo is different. It's an opinionated starter kit that installs a tested, curated setup in under a minute.

git clone https://github.com/ypollak2/claude-code-kickstart
cd claude-code-kickstart
./install.sh

That's it. You'll get a profile picker, automatic backup of your existing config, and a clean install of everything below.

Every MCP server eats context tokens just to exist. We picked the 3 that earn their keep:

| Server | Why it's here | |--------|---------------| | Context7 | Live library docs. Claude stops hallucinating outdated APIs. | | Playwright | Browser automation. Test UIs, scrape pages, verify deployments. | | Sequential Thinking | Structured multi-step reasoning for complex problems. |

> Why not more? See docs/WHY.md

| Hook | What it does | |------|--------------| | Auto-format | Runs Prettier/Ruff/goimports after every edit. Zero-effort clean code. | | Block rm -rf | Prevents destructive deletion accidents. | | Block force-push to main | Saves your team from disaster. | | Block sensitive files | Stops Claude from editing .env, credentials, private keys. | | Desktop notifications | Get notified when long tasks finish (macOS + Linux). |

| Agent | Model | Access | Purpose | |-------|-------|--------|---------| | code-reviewer | Sonnet | Read-only | Finds bugs, security issues, quality problems | | planner | Opus | Read-only | Creates implementation plans without premature coding | | security-auditor | Sonnet | Read-only | OWASP Top 10, secrets scanning, dependency checks | | debugger |
