Claude Bootstrap

Claude Bootstrap

An opinionated project initialization system for Claude Code. **Agent teams by default, strict TDD pipeline, multi-engine code review, security-first.**

**The bottleneck has moved from code generation to code comprehension.** AI can generate infinite code, but humans still need to review, understand, and maintain it. Claude Bootstrap provides guardrails that keep AI-generated code simple, secure, and verifiable.

**New in v2.5.0:** Every project now runs as a coordinated team of AI agents. A Team Lead orchestrates, a Quality Agent enforces TDD, a Security Agent scans for vulnerabilities, a Code Review Agent runs multi-engine reviews, a Merger Agent creates PRs, and dedicated Feature Agents implement each feature in parallel - all following an immutable pipeline: **Spec > Tests > Fail > Implement > Pass > Review > Security > PR.**

Core Philosophy

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  ITERATIVE LOOPS BY DEFAULT                                    │
│  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│
│  Every task runs in a self-referential loop until tests pass.  │
│  Claude iterates autonomously. You describe what, not how.     │
│  Powered by Ralph Wiggum - iteration > perfection.             │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  TESTS FIRST, ALWAYS                                           │
│  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│
│  Features: Write tests → Watch them fail → Implement → Pass    │
│  Bugs: Find test gap → Write failing test → Fix → Pass         │
│  No code ships without a test that failed first.               │

│  SIMPLICITY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE                                  │
│  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│
│  20 lines per function │ 200 lines per file │ 3 params max     │
