Claude Meta — Development skill for Claude Code

claude-meta

Turn a one-sentence idea into a fully scaffolded project with best-practice Claude Code configuration.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ — pick the big green "LTS" button
• Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge
• A Claude Code subscription (claude.ai)

Not sure if you're ready? Run the system check first:

./doctor.sh          # macOS / Linux
.\doctor.ps1         # Windows (PowerShell)

It will tell you exactly what's missing and how to fix it.

Get Started

**macOS / Linux:**

git clone https://github.com/DanMcInerney/claude-meta.git
cd claude-meta
chmod +x install.sh doctor.sh
./install.sh

**Windows (PowerShell):**

git clone https://github.com/DanMcInerney/claude-meta.git
cd claude-meta
.\install.ps1

That's it. The script installs everything (Claude Code, LSP servers, plugins, Chrome extension) and launches Claude automatically.

What Happens

Claude will greet you and ask what you want to build. Just tell it:

"Make me a solitaire game I can play in my browser"

"Create a personal website with a blog"

"Build an app that tracks my daily habits"

Claude picks the best tech stack, creates a new project folder next to this one, and sets up:

../your-project/
├── CLAUDE.md              # AI instructions tuned for your stack
├── LESSONS.md             # Grows as you build — bugs, gotchas, solutions
├── REVIEW.md              # Code review guidelines
└── src/                   # Your project code

Then it tells you exactly what to do next:

cd ../your-project
claude

Tell Claude "Let's build this" and it starts implementing. Claude can also control your browser to test web apps, fill forms, and take screenshots.

Troubleshooting

Run `./doctor.sh` (or `.\doctor.ps1` on Windows) anytime to check your setup. It explains everything in plain English.
