Claude Code setup

The rules, skills, hooks and agents I use with Claude Code every day, with everything specific to my machines and clients taken out. It is a working setup, not a framework. Take the parts you like.

What is in here

Folder	Contents
rules/	16 rule files: core principles, git, testing, security, performance and preferred stacks, plus one each for TypeScript, React, React Native, Go, Python, Docker, databases, APIs, CI/CD and accessibility
skills/	42 skills, each a SKILL.md that is loaded on demand: project bootstrap, commits and pull requests, debugging, audits, planning and documentation
hooks/	45 hook scripts for Claude Code events, plus shared helpers. hooks/README.md lists which event each one belongs to
agents/	Six specialist agents: API, code review, database, front end, infrastructure and security
commands/	Four quick prompts: explain, quick-fix, compare and benchmark
prompts/	Six longer checklists used by the prompt skill
adapters/	Short notes that let the same skills run under Claude Code and Codex

Where to start

• rules/core.md is the one I would read first. It covers stopping to ask when something is unclear, keeping changes surgical, and turning vague tasks into goals that can be checked.
• rules/testing.md, rules/security.md and rules/git.md are short and apply to any stack.
• skills/commit and skills/ship cover the path from a working tree to a reviewed pull request.
• skills/debug, skills/review-pr and skills/refactor are the ones I reach for most.
• skills/reskin applies a brand direction from reference images to a Tailwind and shadcn/ui app.
• hooks/commit-guard.sh enforces conventional commit messages, hooks/build-test-gate.sh runs the build and tests before a commit, and hooks/commit-size.sh warns about large commits.

Install

The skills refer to the rules and adapters through ~/.config/agent-config, so link the clone there.

git clone https://github.com/DailyDisco/claude-code-setup ~/agent-config
ln -s ~/agent-config ~/.config/agent-config

# Claude Code
ln -s ~/agent-config/skills ~/.claude/skills
ln -s ~/agent-config/rules ~/.claude/rules
cp -r ~/agent-config/agents/. ~/.claude/agents/
cp -r ~/agent-config/commands/. ~/.claude/commands/
cp -r ~/agent-config/prompts ~/.claude/prompts
cp -r ~/agent-config/hooks ~/.claude/hooks

If you already have files in those folders, copy individual skills or rules across instead of linking the whole folder.

Hooks do nothing until they are registered in ~/.claude/settings.json. hooks/README.md shows the event for each one. My own settings.json is not included because it holds machine-specific permissions.

Things you will want to change

• rules/stacks.md is my own list of preferred libraries. Replace it with yours.
• The hooks assume git, jq and the usual Node, Go and Python tooling are installed. Read a hook before you register it.
• skills/github-pr, skills/jira-sync and skills/dbhub-setup need their MCP servers connected.
• The agents name a model in their front matter. Adjust it to what you have access to.
