Setting up Claude Code, the right way.

The reasoning behind each part of a clean Claude Code project. Read the thinking, or get all of it as one command with claudesetup.

Foundation

The substrate a project is built on.

Claude Code project setup

The whole foundation, and why it is the part most repos get wrong.

Claude Code monorepo setup

Turborepo + pnpm, structured so agents and humans do not collide.

Claude Code best practices

The practices that matter most, starting with how you set up.

Configuration

Steering the agent on purpose.

CLAUDE.md best practices

Write a CLAUDE.md lean enough that Claude reads all of it.

Claude Code hooks

Deterministic code that cannot hallucinate - what belongs in a hook.

Claude Code subagents

Hand repeated work to a focused, scoped assistant - set up right.

Claude Code settings.json

Configure permissions so autonomous work stops fighting prompts.

Context

Carrying state across sessions.

Claude Code context management

The difference between an agent that remembers and one that starts from zero.

Claude Code session handoff

Capture working state to disk so the next session boots cold without re-explaining.

Quality

Gates that keep the agent honest.

Claude Code CI setup

CI, types, lint, and tests working before you write a line.

Claude Code starter template

A pile of files you do not understand is its own kind of debt.

Set the whole thing up correctly in one command.
