**Go from fresh install to power user in one command.**

Every Claude Code resource is a catalog — "here's 200 things, good luck." This repo is different. It's an **opinionated starter kit** that installs a tested, curated setup in under a minute.

git clone https://github.com/ypollak2/claude-code-kickstart
cd claude-code-kickstart
./install.sh

That's it. You'll get a profile picker, automatic backup of your existing config, and a clean install of everything below.

What You Get

3 MCP Servers (not 200)

Every MCP server eats context tokens just to exist. We picked the 3 that earn their keep:

Server	Why it's here
Context7	Live library docs. Claude stops hallucinating outdated APIs.
Playwright	Browser automation. Test UIs, scrape pages, verify deployments.
Sequential Thinking	Structured multi-step reasoning for complex problems.

Why not more? See [docs/WHY.md](docs/WHY.md#mcp-servers-why-only-3)

5 Battle-Tested Hooks

Hook	What it does
Auto-format	Runs Prettier/Ruff/goimports after every edit. Zero-effort clean code.
Block rm -rf	Prevents destructive deletion accidents.
Block force-push to main	Saves your team from disaster.
Block sensitive files	Stops Claude from editing .env, credentials, private keys.
Desktop notifications	Get notified when long tasks finish (macOS + Linux).

15 Purpose-Built Agents

Agent	Model	Access	Purpose
code-reviewer	Sonnet	Read-only	Finds bugs, security issues, quality problems
