Claude Code Toolkit
Extend Claude Code with specialized workflows, automatic formatting, and better
defaults.
Skills give Claude domain expertise—brainstorming methods, documentation
generation, book writing pipelines. Hooks automate repetitive tasks—format
code after edits, summarize changes at session end. Templates configure how
Claude works with you.
Works with both Claude Code (CLI) and Claude.ai (web/mobile/desktop).
Quick Start
# Clone the toolkit
git clone https://github.com/robertguss/claude-code-toolkit.git

# Add to your project's CLAUDE.md:
echo "When brainstorming, read /path/to/claude-code-toolkit/skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md" >> CLAUDE.md
# Or package for Claude.ai
python build.py brainstorm
# Upload dist/brainstorm.skill to Claude.ai → Settings → Skills
