A template repository implementing Boris Cherny's productivity tips for AI-assisted coding with Claude Code and Cursor. It provides ready-to-use configurations for memory files, skills, and subagents, aiming to maximize developer productivity by structuring AI interactions and context.

How It Works

This project synthesizes recommendations for using AI coding assistants by leveraging persistent "memory files" (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md) for context, reusable "skills" invoked via slash commands for common workflows, and "subagents" for specialized, isolated tasks. This structured approach enables more efficient, context-aware, and parallel AI-assisted development.

Quick Start & Requirements

1. Copy Project Files: Copy CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and the .cursor/skills/ directory to your project root.
2. Install Personal Files: Copy provided directories (claude_personal_skills, claude_subagents, cursor_personal_skills, cursor_subagents) to your home directory (~/.claude/ and ~/.cursor/).
3. Prerequisites: Requires Claude Code and Cursor AI coding assistants.
4. Links: The repository's README serves as the primary documentation.

Highlighted Details

• Pre-defined skills include /commit-push-pr, /techdebt, /code-simplifier, /code-style, /testing, /git-workflow, and /llm-development.
• Subagents are available for code-reviewer, test-writer, doc-generator, and verifier roles.
• Incorporates Boris Cherny's top tips, such as starting in Plan Mode, working in parallel, creating skills for repeated tasks, and giving Claude verification methods.
• Emphasizes continuous updating of memory files (CLAUDE.md) to improve AI accuracy over time.

Maintenance & Community

No specific details regarding contributors, sponsorships, or community channels (e.g., Discord, Slack) are provided in the README.

Limitations & Caveats

This repository is a configuration and template set, not a standalone application. Its effectiveness is contingent on the user's adoption and configuration of the Claude Code and Cursor AI tools. No specific technical limitations or unsupported platforms are detailed.
