Quick Start - claude-base

Get started with claude-base in 5 minutes

Installation (30 seconds)​

# After installing the foundation (curl | bash — see README)
claude-base init --simple /path/to/your-project

# Or from your project, current directory
claude-base init --simple .

A default install is core-only (work, dev, qa, ops, doc). The horizontal domains (biz, growth, legal), data engineering (the data domain, via the data-eng module) and platform/stack tooling are opt-in modules:

claude-base modules            # list available modules + what's installed
claude-base add biz .          # opt into a module
claude-base remove biz .       # opt back out

First usage​

The foundation's mandatory workflow, step by step:

1. Explore the project​

/work:work-explore "Understand the architecture"

2. (optional) Brainstorm alternatives​

/work:work-brainstorm "To add OAuth, which approaches?"

3. Specify the feature​

/work:work-specify "Add OAuth authentication"

4. Plan the implementation​

/work:work-plan "Implement Google OAuth"

5. Develop with TDD​

/dev:dev-tdd "OAuth authentication flow"

6. Audit (mandatory before commit)​

/qa:qa-loop "score 90"   # Audit + fix loop until target score

7. Commit​

/work:work-commit
