Source: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code

## Before You Start

Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and directory structure
- Existing agent configuration (check for .claude/, .codex/, CLAUDE.md, settings.json, commands/, skills/ directories)
- Whether this repository or a similar tool is already cloned or installed

Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Do I need to configure any service credentials for this plugin (database, API keys, etc.)?
2. Should this be project-scoped or global?

## Fetch the Source

Clone or inspect the repository to understand what needs to be installed:
```bash
gh repo clone anthropics/claude-code
```
Review the README, directory structure, and any install instructions before proceeding.

## What to Implement

This is an **Agent Plugin** — typically an MCP server or capability bundle.

- Install any required npm/pip packages from the source repository
- Register the MCP server in `.claude/settings.json` under the `mcpServers` key with the correct command and args
- Configure any required environment variables or credentials
- Verify the server starts correctly by checking its expected output

## Additional Context

- Detect the user's operating system (MacOS, Linux, or Windows) and execute the recommended installation script: 'curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash' for macOS/Linux or 'irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex' for Windows.
- Verify the installation by running 'claude --version' in the terminal and parsing the output to confirm success.
- Navigate to the root of the user's current project directory and initiate the agent by running 'claude'. Guide the user through the one-time authentication flow if prompted.

## Reference Implementation

```
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
```

## Guidelines

- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it

FIELD OPERATIONS

Automated Refactoring Bot

Create a script that traverses a codebase, identifies 'code smells' (e.g., long functions, duplicated code), and then uses Claude Code commands to refactor them automatically, creating a git branch and pull request for each refactoring.

Interactive Codebase Onboarding Tutor

Build an interactive tutorial that uses Claude Code to guide a new developer through a complex project. The tutor script would issue `claude` commands to explain specific files, show git history for a feature, and generate simple starter tasks for the new developer.

STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS

→Accelerate developer onboarding by giving new hires a tool to instantly ask questions about the architecture and business logic of a complex, legacy codebase, reducing dependency on senior developer time.
→Streamline the code review process by running Claude Code to generate a summary of pull request changes, automatically identify potential bugs or non-standard patterns, and suggest improvements before human review begins.
