This repository provides a development kit for Claude Code, aiming to transform it into an orchestrated development environment. It addresses challenges in AI-assisted development such as context management, AI reliability, and automation complexity by implementing a 3-tier documentation system, multi-agent workflows, and integration with external AI services. The target audience is developers looking to scale AI-assisted coding projects, offering benefits like consistent knowledge, reduced errors, and automated workflows.

How It Works

The system leverages Claude Code's sub-agent capabilities to manage project context through a 3-tier documentation system (master context, component, and feature levels) that auto-loads relevant information. It integrates external AI services (MCP servers like Context7 for real-time docs and Gemini for consultation) via custom commands and hooks. This approach ensures AI agents have up-to-date, project-specific context, enabling reliable and efficient multi-agent workflows.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: A single command curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/peterkrueck/Claude-Code-Development-Kit/main/install.sh | bash initiates an interactive setup. Alternatively, clone the repository and run ./setup.sh.
• Prerequisites: Requires Claude Code. Recommended: MCP servers like Context7 and Gemini Assistant.
• Setup: The installer guides through setup, creating a .claude/ directory for commands and hooks, a docs/ directory for documentation templates, and a root CLAUDE.md for master context.
• Links: Installation script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/peterkrueck/Claude-Code-Development-Kit/main/install.sh

Highlighted Details

• 3-Tier Documentation: Hierarchical structure (Foundation/Component/Feature) for effective AI context management.
• Multi-Agent Orchestration: Enables parallel execution of specialized agents for complex tasks.
• External AI Integration: Seamlessly incorporates real-time documentation (Context7) and architectural consultation (Gemini).
• Automated Context Injection: Hooks ensure all sub-agents receive core project documentation automatically.

Maintenance & Community

The project is personal, with the author, Peter Krueck, available on LinkedIn for questions and feedback. Contributions and adaptations are welcomed.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository does not explicitly state a license. Users should verify licensing for commercial use or integration with closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

The system is heavily reliant on Claude Code's specific features and sub-agent architecture; compatibility with other AI coding tools requires significant adaptation. The extensive context loading and sub-agent usage can be token-intensive, with a recommendation for Claude Code Max 20x subscription. MCP server integration is optimized for specific services, requiring adjustments for alternatives.
