**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 Claude stops hallucinating outdated APIs.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 |
| planner | Opus | Read-only | Creates implementation plans without premature coding |
| security-auditor | Sonnet | Read-only | OWASP Top 10, secrets scanning, dependency checks |
| debugger | Sonnet | Full | Reproduces, isolates, and fixes bugs systematically |
